Book excerpt: Rather than trying to reconcile the various conflicting accounts of the period just after the US Civil War, or to present a complete account of Reconstruction, Wilson (rhetorical studies, U. of Minnesota) analyzes the power of rhetoric to raise the hopes and aspirations of recently freed slaves, while simultaneously affecting political judgements that narrow their opportunities.
