Publisher Description Again and again in the nations history, presidents of the United States have faced the dramatic challenge of domestic insurrection and sought ways to reconcile with the rebels afterward. This book is the first comprehensive study of how presidential mass pardons have helped put such conflicts to rest. Graham G. Dodds examines when and why presidents have issued mass pardons and amnesties to deal with domestic rebellion and attempt to reunite the country. He analyzes how presidents have used both deeds and words-proclamations of mass pardons and persuasive rhetoric-in order to foster political reconciliation.The book features in-depth case studies of the key instances of mass pardons in U.S. history, beginning with George Washingtons and John Adamss pardoning participants in armed insurrections in Pennsylvania in the 1790s. In the nineteenth century, James Buchanan, Benjamin Harrison, and Grover Cleveland issued pardons to Mormon insurrectionists and polygamists, and Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson pardoned Confederates both during and after the Civil War. Most recently, Dodds considers Gerald Fords clemency and Jimmy Carters amnesty of Vietnam War resisters.Beyond exploring these events, Mass Pardons in America offers new perspectives on the presidents pardon power, unilateral presidential actions, and presidential rhetoric more broadly. Its implications span fields including political history, presidential studies, and legal history. Author Biography Graham G. Dodds is professor of political science at Concordia University. He is the author of Take Up Your Pen: Unilateral Presidential Directives in American Politics (2013) and The Unitary Presidency (2019).
