The Second Founding
The Second Founding: How the Civil War and Reconstruction Remade the Constitution is a non-fiction book written by Eric Foner and published by W.W. Norton & Company in 2019. The book recounts the history of the Reconstruction era amendments to the U.S. Constitution and the historical efforts by the U.S. Supreme Court and certain states to undermine these amendments, as well as efforts to undermine the lawful right for all citizens to vote and enjoy full citizenship. Foner also demonstrates the relevance of this history to our present day.
