He married Rachelle Friedlander two years later, and they had a son and daughter who survived them.[4] CareerTrefousse initially was interested in diplomatic history, and his first book was German and American Neutrality, 1939-1941. After encountering racist incidents in New York City, he switched focuses, publishing a biography, Ben Butler: the South Called him Beast(1957) detailing the military governor's harsh but efficient administration of New Orleans, Louisiana after its surrender to the U.S. Navy during the American Civil War. He continued to teach at Brooklyn College and published many books on the Reconstruction, including biographies of previously maligned Radical Republicans Benjamin F. Wade and Thaddeus Stevens, as well as Presidents Andrew Johnson and Rutherford B. Hayes. Some historians consider his most influential book The Radical Republicans: Lincoln’s Vanguard for Racial Justice (1969), which disagreed with the dominant historical narrative of the time regarding Reconstruction, arguing instead that Reconstruction was a failed attempt "to bring racial justice to the South."[2] In total Trefousse authored over twenty books.[2] He gained media attention during Bill Clinton's impeachment for drawing comparisons to Johnson's impeachment.
