We know what happened after that though. The whites in the north felt the south had been adequately punished so they took back the land they had given to the ex slaves and gave it to the former slave owners. Then they vacated the south and let the inbred whites take back over.
A little history lesson:
Presidential Election of 1876
The Democrats agreed to let the Republicans keep the White House in return for ending Reconstruction and letting the Democrats enact Jim Crow laws throughout the South.
The racist inbred southerners were Dems and they were white. Did you just find that out?
YOU said "The
whites in the north felt the south had been
adequately punished so
they took back the land they had given to the ex slaves."
This is incorrect: The
Republicans wanted to
keep the White House, so they
ended Reconstruction. Then the
Democrats took back the rights that had been given to the ex slaves.
Do you always get so pissy when you are corrected?
You didnt correct anything. You just agreed with me but put a different spin on reality. The reality being that the north was salivating to get back to making money. The point was that white people supported other whites so they could keep Black people from out competing whites. They honestly tricked themselves into believing Blacks couldnt succeed and when they did it caused such cognitive dissonance whites had to turn to Jim Crow, Vagrancy laws, Voting restrictions, etc etc in order to keep Blacks down.
Its amusing because I was never fooled. If you are really superior you dont have to handicap the people that you consider inferior.
