Description
An account of the first experiment in Reconstruction, the effort of northern missionary abolitionists to assist the abandoned slaves of Sea Island, South Carolina establish schools, train troops, claim land ownership, and accept their status as freed men.
First Sentence
FALL CAME LATE TO SOUTH CAROLINA IN 1861.
Description
"Just seven months into the Civil War, a Union fleet sailed into South Carolina's Port Royal Sound, landed a ground force, and then made its way upriver to Beaufort. Planters and farmers fled before their attackers, allowing virtually all of their major possessions, including ten thousand slaves, to fall into Union hands.". "Rehearsal for Reconstruction is historian Willie Lee Rose's award-winning chronicle of change in this Sea Island region from its capture in 1861 through Reconstruction. With epic sweep, Rose demonstrates how Port Royal constituted a stage upon which a dress rehearsal for the South's postwar era was acted out."--BOOK JACKET.
