{"product_id":"absolute-massacre","title":"Absolute Massacre","description":"In the summer of 1866, racial tensions ran high in Louisiana as a constitutional convention considered disenfranchising former Confederates and enfranchising blacks. On July 30, a procession of black suffrage supporters pushed through an angry throng of hostile whites. Words were exchanged, shots rang out, and within minutes a riot erupted with unrestrained fury. When it was over, at least forty-eight men- an overwhelming majority of them black- lay dead and more than two hundred had been wounded. In \u003ci\u003eAn Absolute Massacre,\u003c\/i\u003e James G. Hollandsworth, Jr., examines the events surrounding the confrontation and offers a compelling look at the racial tinderbox that was the post-Civil War South.","brand":"Louisiana State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55807226380632,"sku":"9780807130292","price":28.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780807130292_222f40f4-3341-4beb-91d7-7fdaf4960901.jpg?v=1778678183","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/absolute-massacre","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
