Re: Civil War and Reconstruction

Chase --

Sounds as if we see things in a similar light, if not exactly the same. I really don't think all people from the North are bad, they're just different! In my experience, it's rare to encounter someone from anywhere north of the Ohio River who really knows much about the South, but again, that's just my experience over the years.

It did surprise me to learn that the Klu Klux Klan was so strong in states like Illinois, an estimated state membership of 200,000 in the 1920s. Race riots in the North was another surprise -- guess I don't know much about American history after Reconstruction.

On page 245 of his book, Michael Lind mentions the riot in Springfield IL, summer of 1908. During the violence, white men yelled at Negroes, "Lincoln freed you -- we'll show you where you belong!"
