Democracy Reborn examines the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment during the turbulent Reconstruction era. It reconstructs the political showdown in the Thirty-ninth Congress and explains how debates over federal power, citizenship, and voting remade the Constitution.

The account follows key Reconstruction figures — Thaddeus Stevens, Charles Sumner, Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony — and shows how activists and lawmakers confronted President Andrew Johnson's opposition to federal civil-rights protections.

Highlights:

  • Detailed storytelling of congressional debate and legislation
  • Portraits of influential reformers and activists
  • Clear analysis of the amendment's legal and democratic legacy
