in recent years is it worse because markets it's both that's right gradually us is the conciliation has not more conciliation has they try to
conciliate or confederates and they threw it right in france so what he says at what republicans in the northeast and somewhat unison fiennes is the group's victory city the confederate the southern state of florida back into the hands of the very people who have waged a civil war destroyed the fall and into the visitor through that the police didn't recall think people are still going on
we have a picture of the kansas city there are two new orleans and the new orleans saints some ways it looks like what we might imagine to live in other ways not rooting for the streets of the city the city's days ago our actions we are also from the from the slob new cd is that this is really more for martial for more from which human condition first fifty
five delegates in hand only half of the delegates or were hacked the delegate system works while now the conventional view and they have to put the thing that strikes they were half of the delegates there are a lot of wilderness and well spoken you give me for it
how come we really knew that you'd go to find people that he doesn't recognize them as one of these light skinned people get off the line at a price for our power to the va it is in kansas city has been made or that it's the militants in the stairs at each year <unk> theory
invalid the most remarkable thing about this was that half the delegates they were both spoken they were well dressed and that they play and they will insist that they are seeing who moves to warren law in egypt because fusion and cellphone later of the city morgues are the day or more black man in the sixties kasich usually at sixty eight is the more likely it will be they were houses particulate intelligence bright
guy and he's going to be drafting the constitution well heh heh heh heh heh just as everyone knows a year he used to he is in a movie line is that no one sees he's brilliant and the
line and for the next few months we're still believe that that is going to have to grow the active were walking as equals in what it has never done before and this legislation for him it is a learning experience it is a growth experience they are so intimidated by the culture and we'll still have these blackouts is that some of the younger members of the assembly and i think his vacation because he's intimidating won lots of black delegates an intimidated by the some of the union is the audience are your
attention to one of our formulas forty other audience there are two main areas it used to be at one incident of this franchise and that the confederacy united services right what's the biggest franchise is you have austin possible to store macy's because the republicans on the one hand they want to this franchise confederates to justify the sacrifices that you need is to rein in the civil war on the other hand
why you can support the white population of the party formed seven different way to really find out on a world stage like solution for the west is there is it was only caucasians the nineteenth century with black people aren't time to the old public access to theaters restaurants street cars turn the whole works what role does a poem that may possibly you're not sure he made was more or less that article aren't reporting is an important piece of the constitution
because it also requires an allegiance that are your duty the cost issue author of the classic public officials in louisiana take an oath to support the political equality of all good says that this revolution is going to be any kind of public official yes there you make no distinction between black people or people with the equal under a lot of people something to rise he has the biggest difficulty is this and we see it like this now it requires the same replacement and total opposes this start wondering well
we're going to pose it because he opposes any school or completely oppose another feature of the educational as the law is written it requires a while still to be created each parish seizes that one public school each carries in effect leaves the only one of its movie creed hair have a great week you know why he says it is the law the fact this is written is going to be much
when most people are now schools for this evil genius and these are the review process is that the protests protests is not one it's a protest against it is not because the article allows to segregated schools but because it has not complied high school we really don't system i mean it
really is and they have black white puffy white knew what your life the constitution like school so the wikipedia it has yet to a different time and the elements of the constitution they get to the civil rights act that constitution is when and
that's been it's b he hit the speech he gave a lot to
politics where we're going when augusta he's the natural person to step in and be a convention not one he has married into a local family property in the area he has established himself as a substantial assistance from the us that is acceptable to a lot of what's in the new america at the same time his experience in the united states contributes his experience in the region's bureau the fact that he supported the reconstruction at all this makes an acceptable to walk to and he only does support and watch one in the reconstruction and watch what condition that he doesn't want to see
get an education you just think they have a right to their place in the sun and the only advice but they were sent there after election but the man there clearly clearly greed which is very important that one of the things that they love the thing i most want when they want to use that by the mr woods is why the news is that it really enjoy the air those
descriptions a card that has a common article three blank law during the facts of cricket oh the nineteenth century there were car or does not exist for most of president reagan struck the sudden that historians including myself will assume that the lawyers call mm hmm the invasion of the work are coincide would be a constitutional convention is the first prosecution <unk> everything i've seen no description of pricey reference to jesus that may be a way
that we can save the concern in certain person who live with this law they are rattling gains the reported that in the series from the north they are imported these and of course that uses spera and the displays at sixty eight beginning at age sixty eight and still leslie we're checking out how bad i would imagine we are the only one meeting this is business and eighty six or so you are at the last two ships grown
year and there were visions of that day it cost huge population the work hard just in this to suppress our easy after easy hammer got that got that got that has become the campaign reconstruction so the propaganda disinformation this is why it conjures up the image on it constantly rhetoric the reconstruction acts that
he packs his stable of our bags and then it's the first trial in the prestigious our two profitable and is related to feed people the word is important issue important both for whites is four or more music politicians to focus on what's happening in northern cities were discredited mormonism's i don't stop by with more than sixteen thousand well it is i mean the first thing to realize this is the first word is invaded by that is we
know that you get older i'm pretty relaxed about them is that they are not a stereotype they are complex human beings and what they are they are complex human beings in unusual human remarkable circumstances so the law basically the us and they run across artists nineteenth century american politics is not a profession relying it used to go through life and politics is a rough business especially nineteenth century louisiana were talking to sign of options
you know go to work on you know you think you're obviously country because the jury because you know the awfulness
what he's doing is what he's doing between the time to mention these and reverberations three important election and that kind of collective not much information about whether they could fix the election strategy about it about what you go with rick perry and with a jury and listening to the wind or the police are not leaving concretely illustrate that when you were coming to be working with him in the head so yeah please it's not
written by patient calls directly across shattered shoot people have perished there isn't what we hear are you have no a while and what is the path to the piracy can't see so you have created a new county while four is much more convenient so much or an agency with the state senate and he was as a champion of this new idea gets elected and he gets the legislature he gets a pass new variations really too shabby comes the parish seat with the creation of pitch one can
see the promise of a new water taking shape in the south tweet you don't want to use quieter this region as serious crime units riot police the blackmun in harming the rations at least part of your roots are lots of meetings in the war that tells us a whole lot alike governance is like there were one hundred and they say grand jury with a teacher over half of those days were black they say abba black men serving grand jury and latin serving the teachers one suspect that this helps explain why one is read in parish diminished so much
at the periphery humanity dry period you will be the last nearly half of the people we're black and white who served on a nice to live and certainly the city council for a chat so why have a significant share in the operations of all in the government treats them with dignity and respect his theory this puts can we were not yet fully friedman are always is that government treats it with respect and dignity he's back
it is whether i think it puts in those that remain are attractive block surrounding parishes because the party colors so you called in the area you're playing because usually require one small compared to it was actually going to pre teens road repairs now he doesn't frighten present is you know why the party lines
