Lynch is an historical account written in the early 20th century. The book offers an in-depth examination of the Reconstruction era, particularly focusing on the author's experiences and perspectives as a political figure in Mississippi during this transformative period. Lynch aims to provide a candid and less biased view of the events that took place during and after the Civil War, shedding light on the construction and challenges of governance in the Southern states, especially in regard to the enfranchisement of Black citizens. The opening of the book establishes Lynch's intent to present factual and impartial insights into the Reconstruction process, mainly highlighting Mississippi's role. It chronicles the political struggles between Congress and the presidency regarding the reintegration of Southern states into the Union and the push for civil rights for freedmen. Lynch reflects on the various political strategies, particularly those from President Johnson's administration, which faced significant opposition from the Northern public. He introduces key events, such as the elections that followed the war and the formation of new governmental structures in Mississippi, providing a rich context for understanding the complexities and conflicts that characterized this pivotal historical moment.
