This book breaks through the shrouded myths of history perpetrated by biased historians and even prominent political leaders from both the North and South. The Redemption: The Last Battle of the Civil War tells the true story behind the end of Reconstruction of the South and the role terrorism played in disenfranchisement of the freed slaves and the end of GOP control of the South.

The failure of President Grant and the GOP in the North to suppress the violent White "revolution" led to the end of Reconstruction. The myth of “Negro Uprisings” against the minority White population was all the excuse needed by Southern Democrats and their military wing, the White Leaguers, to brutally murder and intimidate the Negroes and their GOP backers in the southern states. The success in 1875 of the “Mississippi Plan” became the blueprint for suppression of Negro vote in other southern states in the elections of 1876. The presidential election of that year ended in the House of Representatives, which resulted in a devil’s compromise. The GOP candidate, Rutherford B. Hayes, is supported by the Democrats and becomes president in return the GOP agrees to end federal intervention in the South and with it the loss of civil rights of the Negro population. The legacy of this compromise is a history of Jim Crow and second-class citizenship for millions of Americans for decades to come.
