    If you actually look at the reconstruction period it never really happened at all. Which is largely because Lincoln’s successor didn’t believe in it.

      Johnson sabotaged everything he could, but Grant was a good Union boy and put in 8 years of effort in Reconstruction.

      Shame about Grant’s choice of ‘friends’.
