I'm No Watermelon – Commentary by Joan Hough
Marxist Reconstruction meant that the South suffered a mighty influx of Yankees who suddenly, immorally and unconstitutionally acquired vast tracts of rich dirt, lakes, plantations, small farms, saw mills, fabric factories, sugar mills, salt mines, private homes, lumber land, tons of cotton, an amazingly good growing climate, and most of the other types of the South's riches. The new government installed throughout the Southern states by the Republicans produced new state Constitutions written by and voted on by white Southerner's masters and faithful Republicans.

That's why wars should not happen. :'( The losers don't like the outcome, forever in time.
"All that was fought for in 1776, the War Between the States, WWI and WWII, is lost. We lost our Republic at Appomattox."
