"The Facts of Reconstruction" by John Roy Lynch is a non-fiction book published in 1913. Written by a former enslaved person who became a congressman, this work challenges prevailing historical narratives about Reconstruction.

His account directly counters scholars who portrayed Reconstruction as harmful to the South, offering an insider's perspective on Mississippi politics and voting rights legislation during this turbulent period in American history.
