    Oh yeah, we all mourn in this community that Reconstruction didn’t do what it was supposed to - destroying slavery and racism in the South, and in failing to do so, allowed it to re-establish itself as power over the entire country again. But the Civil War itself? “Anti-democratic racist slavers vs. Flawed democracy coalition which eventually accedes to more racially positive outlook” shouldn’t be a hard choice for anyone.
