Story4.5 out of 5 stars 57
American freedom is typically associated with the fight of the oppressed for a better world. But for centuries, whenever the federal government intervened on behalf of nonwhite people, many white Americans fought back in the name of freedom—their freedom to dominate others. In Freedom’s Dominion, historian Jefferson Cowie traces this complex saga by focusing on a quintessentially American place: Barbour County, Alabama, the ancestral home of political firebrand George Wallace.

Enhanced my understanding of how difficult and time consuming it is to accept all citizens in the U.S.

The book is very well researched and written. It gave me more of an appreciation for the perspectives of those of us that grew up in states that enslave people.I understand their desire to have the freedom to maintain old ways despite national policies to treat all people equally.
The reader did a great job as well.
