i'm taking a history class we are studying Reconstruction through the 1990s

the reading i've done on Reconstruction is eye-opening

the more things change.....

we americans just keep cycling through the same progress/backlash progress/backlash progress/backlash bullshit

for decades and centuries

@AnnetteLicitra

no 1990s

the focus is on freedom so they are hitting the highlights of race and gender from Reconstruction through 1990s

@samiamsam if you check the details of the 'Business Plot' from around 100 years ago, you can see one of the primary reasons why.

Capitalist dynasties always violate human rights, manipulate the population via the media, and throw gasoline on the fires of ignorant racism, bigotry, & religious extremism because those are Divide and Conquer concepts that go back to monarchy. That's the easiest way to keep an economy built on exploitation and violence going.
