      Its been a long time since I’ve been in a classroom, so I can’t say.

      With your question do you believe Reconstruction was contained punishment that was insufficient to meet @billiam0202@lemmy.world 's desired level?

        I don’t know.

        I don’t believe in punishment, myself. but the South was obviously punished.

            the problem wasn’t that there was not enough government though, it was that there was too much government. without States, Jim Crow could not have n been made law. abolish the state.

              Yes, because without the states to make laws that racists followed, there would have been no Jim Crow reaction to newly freed slaves. And I bet we’d also still have newly freed slaves too.
