I do not like the first historians misrepresenting it to us, like those boys form the Dunning school..or those Southern "lost Cause" boys. I think the next ten years years is gong to be tough or if Obama rolls "Box Cars" on his bets on our future then 20 years tough years ahead.... We like to say some company's are "too big to let fail". I think the world knows we are "too big to let fail" so I think that will be our saving grace in then coming years..If we fail then watch the world burn!! Some musing...

At the end of Reconstruction, the Southern states were all under the control of X-confederates and the Freedman labour was back under white control. .... How active were these 'progressives' in advancing the rights of blacks in northern states? Or were they active at all?

borderuffian wroteSadly, not as active as they should have been. Or, perhaps more accurately, not as successful as they should have been. I don't think, however, that the inability of the North to put in to practice some of the things the South was being asked to do during Reconstruction should be used to judge the merits of those ideas. Suffrage, equal rights, etc., were laudable and necessary. It would have been nice, though, if all Northern states were practicing what the government was preaching to the South. I just found this thread, as it was on the main page, and i could talk about Reconstruction all day. So if people are interested in reviving the thread, I'm game.
