|
| Alan Kinkaid is a one-time Pennsylvania Democrat who
became a Republican in the wake of the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Although he still believes
that the states should be the center of meaningful political activity, his experiences as
a major during the Civil War convinced him that the South must have the last inch of
rebellion crushed out of them and that extending full voting rights and providing free
homesteads for freedmen is the best way to ensure that the Union victory in the Civil War
will stick. With some protection by the military, Kinkaid is convinced that reconstruction
at the state level will work. |
