In his new book From Oligarchy to Republicanism, Forrest A. Nabors sets out to show how congressional Republicans regarded the work of Reconstruction in the same way they regarded the work of the Founders: as regime change, from monarchy in the one case and from oligarchy in the other, to republicanism. By examining congressional writings and speeches from 1863-1869, Forrest A. Nabors offers a critical analysis of Reconstruction and the nature of Southern oligarchy. Renowned Civil War historian James McPherson, author of Battle Cry of Freedom states, “In this unique perspective on Reconstruction, the political scientist Forrest A. Nabors offers new insights on how the Republicans of the Civil War era drew upon their portrayal of the conflict between freedom and slavery as a struggle between republicanism and oligarchy to shape their program of Reconstruction.” And according to Paul A. Rahe, author of Republics Ancient and Modern: Classical Republicanism and the American Revolution, “If you want to understand the origins of the Civil War, why the North won, the outcome’s consequences for this country, and race relations over the last 150 years, this book is the place to start. It is a masterpiece, and it is going to have an immense impact.” Forrest A. Nabors is Associate Professor and Chair of the Dept. of Political Science at UAA and he received his Ph.D. from University of Oregon.

In From Oligarchy to Republicanism: The Great Task of Reconstruction (University of Missouri Press, 2017) , Forrest Nabors sets out to show that congressional Republicans regarded the work of Reconstruction in the same way they regarded the work of the Founders: as regime change, from monarchy in the one case and from oligarchy in the other, to republicanism. Nabors examines the writings and speeches of Republicans in the Thirty-Eighth, Thirty-Ninth, and Fortieth Congress (1863-1869), recovering their political analysis of the antebellum South. While Reconstruction scholars have typically emphasized black citizenship as the central concern of congressional Republicans, Nabors demonstrates that they identified Southern oligarchy (tightly linked to slavery) as the problem of the age.
