Summary |
In 1882, William Simpson Pearson, writing under the pseudonym Brinsley Matthews, published Well-Nigh Reconstructed, a thinly disguised. autobiographical novel excoriating the enormous societal changes that had beset the former Confederacy during Reconstruction. Pearson's work was especially notable in that the author was a onetime Radical Republican and supporter of Ulysses S. Grant's bid for the presidency. A product of Pearson's perception that northern Reconstruction policies had devastated his native North Carolina, the book set in motion a genre of politically motivated. |
