The Failed Promise: Reconstruction, Frederick Douglass, and the Impeachment of Andrew Johnson

byRobert S Levine

In The Failed Promise, Robert S Levine presents a historical account centered on reconstruction, Frederick Douglass, and the Impeachment of Andrew Johnson. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the connected fields of history and political science. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
