Abstract

“Clayton Butler has breathed life into a phenomenon”—a “’tiny minority’” of white Unionists who fought to preserve the United States alongside African Americans, despite being labeled “traitors or Tories” by their white Confederate counterparts. Butler shows, however, that Reconstruction surpassed the limits of their willingness to cross racial lines.
