{"product_id":"9780807151310","title":"An Absolute Massacre: The New Orleans Race Riot of July 30, 1866","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the summer of 1866, racial tensions ran high in Louisiana as a constitutional convention considered disenfranchising former Confederates and enfranchising blacks. On July 30, a procession of black suffrage supporters pushed through an angry throng of hostile whites. Words were exchanged, shots rang out, and within minutes a riot erupted with unrestrained fury. When it was over, at least forty-eight men -- an overwhelming majority of them black -- lay dead and more than two hundred had been wounded. In An Absolute Massacre, James G. Hollandsworth, Jr., examines the events surrounding the confrontation and offers a compelling look at the racial tinderbox that was the post-Civil War South.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Louisiana State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47118949712112,"sku":"9780807151310","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780807151310_p0.jpg?v=1763729062","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780807151310","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
