But for centuries, whenever the federal government intervened on behalf of nonwhite people, many white Americans fought back in the name of freedom--their freedom to dominate others.   \u003cbr\u003e    \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eFreedom's Dominion\u003c\/i\u003e, prizewinning historian Jefferson Cowie traces this complex saga by focusing on a quintessentially American place: Barbour County, Alabama, the ancestral home of political firebrand George Wallace. In a land shaped by settler colonialism and chattel slavery, freedom became a weapon. With freedom as their cry, white Americans seized Native lands, championed secession, overthrew Reconstruction, questioned the New Deal, and fought against the civil rights movement.   \u003cbr\u003e    \u003cbr\u003e Through a riveting account of two centuries of local clashes between white people and federal authorities, \u003ci\u003eFreedom's Dominion\u003c\/i\u003e offers a radically new history of federal power, democracy, and American freedom.
