Excellent- More about Freedom's Dominion: A Saga of White Resistance to Federal Power
American freedom has been associated with the fight of the oppressed for a better world, but for centuries, white Americans have fought back in the name of their freedom to dominate others. In Freedom's Dominion, historian Jefferson Cowie traces this complex saga in Barbour County, Alabama, where white people weaponized freedom to seize Native lands, champion secession, overthrow Reconstruction, question the New Deal, and fight against the civil rights movement.

American freedom is often linked to the struggle of the oppressed for a better world. However, 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 explores this intricate saga by focusing on a quintessentially American place: Barbour County, Alabama, the ancestral home of political firebrand George Wallace. In a land shaped by settler colonialism and chattel slavery, white people weaponized freedom to seize Native lands, champion secession, overthrow Reconstruction, question the New Deal, and fight against the civil rights movement.
A riveting history of the long-running clash between white people and federal authority, this book radically shifts our understanding of what freedom means in America.
