Imagine Abraham Lincoln surviving the assassination attempt, serving two full terms as President and then becoming Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Chief Justice Abraham Lincoln and the End of Reconstruction imagines that and more, as Chief Justice Lincoln endeavors, with his successor as President, President Ulysses S. Grant, and his friend and confidant Frederick Douglass, to preserve the civil rights of Black Americans after former Confederates re-take control over Southern States and try to impose Jim Crow segregation and worse. The book also examines the disputed 1876 Presidential Election and the withdrawal of the United States Army after the Compromise of 1877 put Rutherford B. Hayes in the White House.
