I read a fantastic one not long ago on a recommendation from a commenter on here I had an argument with (lmao). Once I get back from work I’ll see if I can find what it was.

Race and Reunion: The Civil War in American Memory
It’s about the cultural rather than political-economic aspects of Reconstruction and its failures. It’s excellent. The only thing I have against it is that it had a weird and inaccurate axe to grind against both General Sherman and General Grant, both of whom had views which changed radically over the course of the Civil War and its aftermath.
