100 years later and a residents of different country...The reconstruction and the amount of corruption is interesting .ww2 or ww1 hatred of Germans is really pale on,the corruption and hatred that seethed on the Democrats.
The republicans took advantage of the broken south and stole tax payer money for public works while the Democrats fostered hatred .both of these ,and civil war memorials are found close .I read an account of life before Disney where that town ,Walter lived and was born on was created by an anticarpet bagger .he was racist and hated republicans but wasn't a thief .
My,states ,my county settlement hinges on the end of the civil war and South of the large poet cities it was nothing but open land and few came in the 1870s,and again after ww1,en mass with the end of the ww2.
The trains did bring growth .so yes reconstruction is local and recent if I simply go lookimg .
You really need to rethink your stance on this.
