An awesome piece by Serwer in Atlantic Oct 2020 on Reconstruction & its failure, quoting du Bois but also Carl Schurz whose statue I walk by every day: his horror at the White Terror (literally), his report (& Jackson's refusal to read it), & his inability to support intervention
Yeah, the history I was taught in a VA public school still put reconstruction and its end in soft focus, explained little and quietly implied that the end of reconstruction was a good thing. I had to unlearn a lot of my assumptions about that, once I got to college.

My impression is that the narrative being taught on reconstruction is mostly more accurate now, at least in some places...but my guess is that Carlson is looking to prey on the misinformed who were taught like I was.
