The book ""The Civil and Political Status of the State of Georgia: And Her Relations to the General Government"" was written by Henry McNeal Turner in 1870. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the political and civil status of the state of Georgia and its relationship with the federal government during the Reconstruction Era after the Civil War.Turner, an African American bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, was a prominent figure in the Reconstruction Era and played an active role in advocating for civil rights and political representation for African Americans in Georgia. In his book, he examines the legal and constitutional framework of Georgia's governance and highlights the ways in which the state's political and social systems were designed to exclude African Americans from full citizenship.Turner also discusses the various political and legal battles that took place between Georgia and the federal government during the Reconstruction Era, including the state's resistance to federal efforts to enforce civil rights legislation and the subsequent military intervention by the federal government.Overall, ""The Civil and Political Status of the State of Georgia"" provides a valuable historical perspective on the struggles for civil rights and political representation in the United States during the Reconstruction Era, and sheds light on the ongoing challenges faced by marginalized communities in their fight for equality and justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
