    Yep, this is the way most Americans were taught Reconstruction, if taught at all, until very recently. It's a big problem.https://twitter.com/dandrezner/status/1407838581167689735 …

    Also, the way Reconstruction was taught matters. In my AP class in Connecticut I was taught that radical Republicans exceeded their authority and the 1876 Compromise helped heal the wounds of the Civil War. 😳 https://twitter.com/TPCarney/status/1407788094561173504 …

        Yikes! Glad I chanced upon Eric Foner in a used book store when I was a freshman in Sweden.

        North Korea has nothing on the US and its love of amnesia and pure propaganda.

        My AP textbook uncritically referred to carpetbaggers and scalawags to explain and justify the south’s hostility to reconstruction.

        Contrarian take: reconstruction, among other bad things, was taught in high school US history courses, but most people forget this because it is such awful subject matter.

        It was taught but this is about *how* it’s taught. The correct way is to focus on the sustained white terrorism that undermined it, and I (& apparently others) were clearly not taught that.

        When I was in high school, there were occasional references to the "first [x] since Reconstruction" but never, not once, was the term ever defined, much less explained
