homosexual's review against another edition
3.0
My Booktube
3.5/5, but I'm rounding down. Overall this did make me rethink Lincoln & Reconstruction, and frame them in a light that makes them truly seem like a Second American Revolution. However, like the first pages say a lot of the essays in this weren't intended to be collected and thus a few don't feel like they touch on the main theme at all. The ones that most encompass the idea of the Second American Revolution, were the first and last ones, which were written explicitly for this book. So those are great, and I like the idea of this, but the majority of the content in here is just fluff.
