Doom of Reconstruction : The Liberal Republicans in the Civil War Era, Hardcover by Slap, Andrew L., ISBN 082322709X, ISBN-13 9780823227099, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US The republican sentiments of the liberal republican movement of the mid-19th century, argues Slap (history, East Tennessee State U.), led them into strong opposition to the "Slave Power", support for strong measures to fight the Civil War, and support for the post-war Reconstruction of the South. The very same republican ideology, combined with their party-formation experiences in the formative days of the Republican Party, led them to formation of the Liberal Republican Party to oppose anti-republican trends unleashed by the war. Ironically, he contends, with the Liberal Republicans being taken over by Horace Greeley in order to attack President Grant in the 1872 election, their efforts fatally undermined the political viability of Reconstruction.
