The Rise and Fall of Organised Political Freethought, 1870-1880

This thesis charts the rise and fall of organised political freethought from 1870 to 1880, and in so doing seeks to revise the historiographies on radical movements during the era of Reconstruction. In particular, the thesis also seeks to detail the influence of some of the most radical thinkers from the Age of Enlightenment upon the political and intellectual life of postbellum America.
