Rialto in Richmond Reconstructed

Join revisionist author Joseph P. Farrell as he looks at the money war between the Union government and the Confederacy. A rialto is a market or place of exchange, and in The Rialto in Richmond Reconstructed, Farrell examines the Confederate and Union monetary systems, the aftermath of the war and more. Was Andrew Johnson being impeached for betraying the legacy of Abraham Lincoln and his desire for a moderate reconstruction policy for the South, or was he impeached because he followed the desires of the radical Republicans for a harsh reconstruction? And why is Edwin Stanton, Lincoln's Secretary of War, front and center in the debate? Why were Ulysses S. Grant's two administrations some of the most corrupt in history, and what may have been Grant's motivations for a tour through Europe after he left office? What is the real truth about the Dahlgren raid on Richmond, and the geopolitics behind the abortive Hampton Roads peace conference between President Lincoln and Jefferson Davis' representatives in 1865? Who were the hidden players, and did they represent deeply hidden international interests?
