I’m finding it more and more difficult to say each and every day. As someone that wishes to live in a civilized world, I would vastly prefer due process of course. The thing is, was 1872 America a better place to raise a duaghter? Possibly so I’m starting to think.

In 1872, like today, it really depends on where one lived and your status in society. I suspect in rural Georgia of 1872, staying alive was a daily struggle for both blacks and whites. Only a few years before the state’s infrastructure and economy had been purposefully destroyed by General Sherman. Unless you were one of the few people with means in the power structure, life was all about survival. Likely the poorest person in that part of the country today lives what would in 1872 have been considered a life of luxury.
