"Lynch was one of the black Congressmen from Mississippi during Reconstruction. His book is an unabashed effort to justify Reconstruction. There is considerable emphasis on local Mississippi politics and events of the era, as well as national politics with Mississippi involvement. Lynch was not a radical activist by any means; he insisted that black goals were non-intrusive ones. The book includes an interesting account of an interview between Lynch and President Cleveland" Krick 290.
