Tracing the activities of nearly 300 abolitionists and their descendants  he reveals that some played a crucial role in the establishment of schools and colleges for southern blacks  while others formed the vanguard of liberals who founded the NAACP in 1910. The authors examination of the complex and unhappy fate of Reconstruction clarifies the uneasy partnership of northern and southern white liberals after 1870  the tensions between black activists and white neo-abolitionists  the evolution of resistance to racist ideologies  and the origins of the NAACP.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45280473546805,"sku":"ByrdShop_069110039X","price":29.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780691100395.jpg?v=1780638026","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-abolitionist-legacy-9780691100395","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
