I do not think Reconstruction was as bad as many think. It sure beat having stay at home Confederates confiscating your firearms, stealing your property and discarding habeas corpus whenever the motivations of extortion or grudge arose. The Union Army were truly liberators for delivering Dixie from the reb reign of terror.

I can tell you were educated by the politically correct history teachers and professors who insist the Confederate States of America was our own version of the Third Reich – a blot on American history, and Robert E Lee the equivalent of Rommel.
The Northern victory led to today’s all-powerful federal government. And that’s a good thing?

Say what??? That’s funny, because the citizens of New Orleans (who fell under Yankee domination relatively early in the war) despised the Yankees, especially Benjamin “The Beast” Butler. You should read up on the Yankee occupation of Southern territory. The Yankees were utterly despised.
