註釋But this policy of reconciliation came to a tragic end with Lincoln's assassination. Had Lincoln lived, perhaps the South would have fared better in the years ahead, but with his murder, not only had the Southern people lost an invaluable ally, but they had also earned the wrath of those who now were responsible for their fates. Thomas and Debra Goodrich explore this tumultuous period of antebellum history in The Day Dixie Died. The narrative's "you-are-there" approach engages the reader with stories of real people and their experiences. Starting with Lincoln's assassination and continuing up through the harsh realities of occupation through the summer of 1866, the authors trace the history of reconstruction in the south -- the death, destruction, crime, starvation, exile, and anarchy that pervaded those grim years.
