This book focuses on the post-Civil War experience of African Americans and immigrants, investigating their decisions and assessing their resulting treatment. It contends that discrimination was far from seamless but instead shows that individual veterans quietly asserted their rights, while examining how African Americans and immigrants weighed their circumstances when seeking government assistance.
