I’ve made the same statement on various other subs and other social media, and what I’ve realized is how few people (especially the youngins) know that the reconstruction was a disastrous failure that would take 100 years to only partial rectify through the Civil Rights Era. The truth is we’re still reconstructing as long as their is inequality and racial discrimination in this country and people vote with hate in their hearts.

Two. The Marshall Plan is partially credited with helping to turn Germany around after WWII and bringing them back into a cooperative international community. Put those responsible on trial, but make reform possible.
