I reiterate that, contrary to the reviewer&#8217;s claims, the book does not suggest that the defence of interracial marriage has been a thriving social movement. I correct his reading of my chapter on the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/American_Civil_War\" target=\"_blank\">Civil War<\/a> era, referring to both the variety of voices present, and the claims of reformers&#8217; opponents, who were the only ones who claimed racial mixing was an aim of the abolitionist movement.
