After victorious federal troops swept through southern louisiana in 1862, the state became the testing ground for abraham lincoln's approach to reconstruction, and thus the focal point for the debate over post-war policy in washington. Peyton mccrary offers a comprehensive account of the social and political upheavals in louisiana, set against the background of a new interpretation of the revolutionary dimensions of the civil war party system. He compares the moderate republican regime set up by lincoln with the antebellum social and political system, and contrasts it with the reactionary government established in 1865 under the aegis of andrew johnson and the democratic party.
