you are right reconstruction continued on into the 50’s.and to a degree to this day.
If Lincoln had had children, they would look like Bill Clinton. And Hillary Clinton.
Reconstruction is here now. People jn the north took control of the money and enrich their friends to this day. That was the main thing about the war.In this modern era when will a southerner be nominated by the Gop ? The Bush family are NE bluebloods. This govt has bad leadership to this day ,,which was brought about by that war. We are all suffering for it.
