520 1 $a"On the eve of the American Civil War, Wade Hampton, one of the wealthiest men in the South, and indeed the United States, remained loyal to his native South Carolina as it seceded from the Union. Raising his namesake Hampton Legion of soldiers, he eventually became a lieutenant general of Confederate cavalry after the death of the legendary J. E. B. Stuart. Hampton's highly capable military leadership throughout the Civil War has until recently been largely overlooked." "After the war, Hampton returned to South Carolina, where chaos and violence reigned as Union officials, newly freed slaves, and disenfranchised white Southerners battled for political control of the devastated economy. Reconstruction collapsed as Hampton was elected governor in the contested election of 1876 in which the governorship of South Carolina and the presidency of the United States hung in the balance. While aspects of Hampton's rise to power remain controversial, under his leadership stability returned to state government and rampant corruption was brought under control. Hampton then served in the U.S. Senate, from 1879 to 1891, eventually losing his seat to a henchman of notorious South Carolina governor "Pitchfork" Ben Tillman, whose brand of grassroots, blatantly segregationist politics supplanted Hampton's genteel paternalism." "In Wade Hampton, Walter Brian Cisco provides a comprehensively researched, highly readable, and long-overdue examination of a man whose military and political careers had a major impact upon South Carolina, and America. Focusing on all aspects of Hampton's life, Cisco has written the definitive biography of this man."--BOOK JACKET.
