The biggest mistake we made was being lenient on former confederate bigshots who went on to create the KKK and make sure the country’s racist past would continue to this day
i took an entire class on the reconstruction era (taught by one of my favorite, actually African American, professors) and the things i learned literally keep me up at night

There should’ve been a nuremburg trials type of proceeding for the confederates. Sucks that that historical precedent wasn’t set until 80 years after the fact
