| Summary | "Lincoln's Plan of Reconstruction" by Charles H. McCarthy is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the intricate events surrounding the Reconstruction era that followed the American Civil War, particularly examining the political landscape and the measures taken to restore the Confederate states to the Union. The author aims to address the lack of detailed literature on this significant period in U.S. history, particularly emphasizing the strategies employed by President Lincoln and his administration. The opening of the work sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Reconstruction, beginning with specific reference to the state of Tennessee. It outlines the political complexities and the various challenges Lincoln faced in reinstating a loyal government while contending with a fractured national identity. The text introduces Lincoln's cautious approach to governance amid civil unrest, his concern for loyal citizens in the South, and the appointment of military governors as vital steps in the effort to stabilize the region. The narrative lays the groundwork for understanding how these early actions shaped the evolving political discourse during this tumultuous time in American history.
