Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aims to clarify the reality of the era of the Civil War and Reconstruction by examining the race-related laws from the point of the whiteness study. In particular, this study focuses on the legislative process of the constitutional amendment and the laws relating to military duty, labor, and civil rights and considers the reasons why the white lawmakers tried to deconstruct whiteness. As a result, it is made clear that the whites in the North wished to create a new color-blind American citizen on the basis of the free labor ideology. But it is also made clear that whiteness was not deconstructed completely because they agreed to maintain the traditional principle of national unity that respected the state sovereignty.
