Status Updates From Reconstruction: America's U...

Good context about the political landscape in the years leading up to “Reconstruction”. It seems obvious once you say it, but there were Union loyalists in the South and, conversely, racist Democrats (what we now call Republicans) in the North. Not that Republicans weren’t also racist… just less vociferously so.

This is definitely not going to be a fast read. Also, oof, it’s going to be a hard one given that the country is going through another Reconstruction backlash by racist whites at this very moment. Will we learn from past mistakes? Ever?
