Race, Class and Power in the Building of Richmond, 1870-1920

Steven J. Hoffman

4.9/5 (28920 ratings)

Description:Using post-Civil War Richmond, Virginia as a case study, Hoffman explores the role of race and class in the city building process from 1870 to 1920. Richmond's railroad connections enabled the city to participate in the commercial expansion that accompanied the rise of the New South. A highly compact city of mixed residential, industrial and commercial space at the end of the Civil War, Richmond remained a classic example of what historians call a walking city through the end of the century. As city streets were improved and public transportation became available, the city's white merchants and emerging white middle class sought homes removed from the congested downtown. The city's African American and white workers generally could not afford to take part in this residential migration. As a result, the mixture of race and class that had existed in the city since its inception began to disappear. The city of Richmond exemplified characteristics of both northern and southern cities during the period from 1870 to 1920. Retreating confederates had started fires that destroyed the city in 1865, but by 1870, the former capital of the Confederacy was on the road to recovery from war andWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
