I thought some here might find this interesting way of presenting the events that transpired 150 years ago, and the brutality of the aftermath in the Reconstruction era, graphically.

They were mostly democrats.

Conservative, traditional, "christian" democrats.

Some were apolitical.

But they weren't republican, that's for sure. Not in the South back then.

I belive the story can be recounted without only signifying political party affiliation to only the bad guys...saying that mostly is illogical when folks that were not democrats did the same..You do know who was president after Lincoln died? He was no Northern Rabid Republican...

Oh, indeed I do.

Democrat Andrew Johnson.

I don't think the focus of the story is about that though.

Any other comment on the piece?
