it's now in one of those in the political or military power so that those success are low he says it is yes sir this is worse that the president will
choose a national plan that is the process alliance will see a lot of white men ranks with us what's audience is quite certain that it is that the white man is the houses and why is there an atlanta now actually answers on various stanley and sixties you know

you know as cc traditionally that says what amazed that this is a video of people's dewar's or b a nice thing the worms or no one yet his is a loss you know and the
witnesses said they all sorts of wanting long says he says there has been this is he's blind with this is a
half again these are just land in a new year's you know there is a long tradition in the united states in the sessions pages and so they use the way to that they are not a solution today's session they you know is a little idea that there is some business use
laws west law they leave a day our own voice yes yes this is set in last the process of what i am this week this is mrs bases
all right yes it is why worry why you are here you are right any a vivid who loses action
what is this he says and this year for the center says now they fear is a fiction here and so his paintings that were in horse race you know and so if you are interested in is that plan cost shifting
alliances notice a place of long sit here and then disappear a year or sometimes a song and now harrison song while assad song live while portions of whites and so they're trying to control the situation and you're here and i was so heartbroken to lose this is awesome or misunderstand is that said when things they support the listeners it's very surreal an ordinary sound times this year so that you can understand why they these wyoming one
day before for concessions it comes to pharmacy before when the issue seth the department says all kinds of pressure on why he joins us while rosenblatt and said this year alone how so oh wow
is this email us oh so people along interstate was or wasn't an obvious to parsons and here's how that most ancient the civil war during the civil war was born and the reconstruction and says warning
thank you why have all those different interests that the reason that shows that is the significance this in he loses all of national security you know what we saw last year sent its first white settlers say and here is a surprise
for two reasons his bosses i mean organized themselves and work insists the union's lost the south that were stupid organization's passwords that were designed to civilization's past
their organizations injury in secrecy as it were just saying how republicans while and then we work with these space on the site but also weapons or militias fighting this so what he uses they're going to enlighten him so it's your standard is that he has held hostage in one year says that he has passed away
is this this the us war threat which is risky the whole while what they're looking for so that they're afraid to attack was lying and so that they are at he says the people say is is
that last year was our success was the one they were still saying now this is now this is insane line right around the lobby and say we have to write it you know and all the different cell with that we'd be long run you have fled into baseball's free on land and for
data those investigations so far about what happened and also the soldiers of the federal action on behalf of the work and it says warren dangers year after year republicans before on fire
in the rivers and so in a way that was their stations so this is it's b yeah yeah so what
yes but it is this is still watts so cc so
it's because we still humans legislation and is flourishing houses so reunions the investigators people say this is the position this is now this is will and
that's because as this business it's infuriated whites there's an ecosystem that our homes that there were so many former slaves this is it's bleak i don't
know think about how matters worse just and an assassin civil unions we have some people who are very idealistic and really risked their lives and humans were there signs state law it's nice to see you he says he's big
ms ruderman well what we see in education are still as she wrought for regime change in american history he's the ashes in the invasive reforms cassie construction hear that over and over that means white southerners were pushed back the consequences of black culture black says so are republicans and
so we are all against the virus so it also is why say things that revolution means they need restoration that as much as possible to what was thought was a robbery but there's no question once been this question among those things added challenge of reconstruction as mom well why is
this worth and sad that those terms you know the norm is the impulses and foreign oil than it is and while he'd find insight into why she was in many ways a portion of his chances are your senses so they're again there is the first sign said no
they say no no no so you know that's all why kasich is certainly think the course of reconstruction all the divisions in the new normal says just last man stanton oh millions of dollars raised you wouldn't know at the fishing harbor were
prosecutions were a position where the situation is and all the shops are now so it's always about why that was our side and i saw this in the news and reconstruction this is just out on one of the moons of reconstruction a person in this
city is an aerosol think it's a woman one becomes clear what instructions the mississippi fossil hunter military so you've just shown that a nurse in the warm ramadan displaces last a nice contrast to president grant so you know writing songs and refuses to grant realizes wistful last night and here's some news that the troops against westerners the hand in that she is a woman is sending waste course suddenly construction his time by
objects and what it will now star that faces an insult wars is that where we're really the cities a place
like this why so is all this i think it's a time they think that he's in the past you know the problem is this all decisions were lost say the bills and you want to watch say this is an instruction the show
angus years is that co sells bonds dream sequences
morsi people use it our genes in calais in me just point we only use is
very important it is this is nes class indians the city bostonians gravity is set last season so we pray before i think that he now
uses as a land use the spill he and his wife cease fire and says the hot persuasion and then ruin together no less years friends of the us that they say will know
he says that this then i said no no no just you know twenty five years and then the males because it's out there what's striking lack political loyalty to republican party and its threats the
tears actually saw what all activity that's right and that's what they do is what they sell ms civil international run and meanwhile strong he's not a lot of balls andy mangels times it's sometimes religious wise says the us should say we're a society walden who were lying aren't trained in
the polls solid polls clearly says those reforms in there at our visit they see are things that have this chance meeting their goals are for decades and in reconstruction last question he's a decision most scholars one of his
worldly loss cause we think they're unified that is what means that your loss is uses numbers and why they were abandoned in watts or work with it and just america to their concern is this they don't happen that they didn't know that the secession was illegal countries and that
momentum and that all those lost cost the belief that they may have invested their stories the virtues we once you align with the issue the last class one of the dnc hack decoration day rows of soldiers are strewn with flowers and so a lot of dedicated supporters at last bastion of their sons and husbands and brothers in florida law and refusing to believe that they got a cost see how non westerners saying yes and
that the nation yesterday to say that we never wrong for some lost half is a celebration of what we see is that there's just it's an intrusion versions its leadership and that does not mean getting overtime in that you grow stronger and so that at night when security unit sixty s especially since the process than they were thirty five years after its as the confederate soldiers' use a lawyer and daughters and sows what the mission was on the concessions of the lost cause it's always close gently to
