American Experience; Reconstruction: The Second Civil War; Interview with Ted Tunnell, Historian, Virginia Commonwealth University, part 1 of 5

come on ms belie it's been a beef broth it's important to remember

how different it can trigger the notion of a multi ethnic americans is something that has only come and be in my lifetime i don't think americans confounding questions that meant more than simply by people and non whites were discriminated against it meant that nineteenth century americans whole notion that we need the americans or wrapped up in it it's an american was a person with white skin a southerner was a purse and when this white nose were manafort other bees to be what a white nation a nation owe more and salvation our culture they should progress true religion was recently other hand washes the images appeared in people's minds slavery

which human sacrifice this and what reconstruction the us but certainly in franchising wives it communicates the nurses and also these people who have been part of the background singers who've been stage props their income or consider stage and be actors and there is in the league deeply disturbing from white southerners had too many people know it challenges the whole notion of what it means to be an american be americans are these he wants to go

i think it's been great union veterans who enlisted first year of the war and stated rich been traveling northern victory comes to rely on people like twitter oldest veteran court an incoming first year at war and stately rich in religious than eighteen sixty four will be rich usually every year

you can enable lines that cuts would move around says exits behind his ear it's a test the time to get into the field and i think he's swelling testing human head swell side if it looks like again you have to start with the rest of his life he survives on the virus to live in the us troops need to black troops as he did before he resigned because he'd been passive movie in his and his company were gay and i think a lot of press knows the vehicle

offices in the united states colored troops have a movie something like because you invested for now he's a man who is i think at once and that's characteristic i think of most of these altered most of the soldiers who volunteered to become all season united states countries they do emotion but they're also willing to be behind some of the racial baggage in hearing why not all some are meetings that like that's that's because they're there and the result is a company commander did you see it coming after the war

what soldiers indian point to mozambique sent to texas has already in sharon's explanation for it so we're going to his own the texas coast the summer at fifty five dollars poor he jumps at the chance i'll go to new orleans residents and people were free to see purses the commissioner conway is a sign to have happened with louisiana our planet with philip

morris became sixty two the petition listen those people moved the people live in a few moments

harry is wanted for me to have any calm one's offices in that plantations here on the cultivation as thirty year is going to car and hit all the red berries in louisiana melissa says one giant why decisions that decision to sit and roll over for mostly listen now the red river is elaine corn water is rare but there are gradations of rain in places it's the wrigley in other places it's the kitchen each day curtis smith and run the mile wide radius of the

city to operate and we're in this lush green world special a day when the wind dies down that was so over the land this isn't much been no means no options and maybe it's exotic and it was the last line this boy that he can raise his first passed a remark you see somebody you're going out and says there are losses his year in its actions here is this case was that along n c above that his region had never been called regenerative the last car a confederacy to surrender it is

dangerous exotic it's isolated and why the time is to start after having me we were just with marginal come to this is that you might use it i would've saved my retina back in texas yes the online visits to the serendipitous he would like the car to be playing cards dealt with today goes to war and they are now the carters health needs the convoy includes bureau agents and you would you know have yet seen adventurous

young man you know what's out there are no taxes and so on so they use this is your alter egos he finds himself appear in the heart of the deep south the black troops around a community is we're a loss of the current confederate veterans used to say when i was writing about it i couldn't help me give the country a story arc of darkness almost imagine them the bridges deeper and deeper into the very heart of the south and they don't know what that he's ever and why no place in the works terry hicks the role as it's working again a slave his

role as here it's no coincidence that harriet beecher stowe chose to he was great so she puts it only upper right where it's a wild beach y su watts even without the civil war and reconstruction while here the civil war and reconstruction and a thick layer of solution wives and inequality he documents five thousand homicides in decades there are signs which means it seriously undercut the great majority of these homicides her in rural louisiana and nearly half of all

homicides in louisiana are in northwest louisiana mystery parishes bordering the river in with its own way that in cameron parish has figures suggest that something like ten percent of black males were more than two years after the civil war these homicides from la reine there is that most of the victims were wide and most of the perpetrators are watts and kill these days of life without being lazy think that black man to get a guy who has no flower they take our money to

a community he is the one that gets more it lasts two says the night calling out what's going on well i think what we are he's been the peaks boy here because he finds

weakened influence far with a small locker to find that the set will work the people in the area are wary they don't want to reach that but they quickly discover that this review is someone with you the first day if it on while you can find any charges against three going to investigate what he learns is that she is said to be the illegitimate or where you in a nice town set what's your nose at the record and here's why i'm asking about this girl that has the wind in jail

and he when president tried to retract the president's war and it appears that's all know and we stay here and has intruded into one of the most is the areas outside the law here is they knew that his wife and five the year when her husband was alive was actually talk about publicly and not wanting to talk about in the presence of the piercing preserve the president hears this community would have deeply resented this intrusion into so sensitive and it is what it is so it's just nice job i think he was you know he's an intelligent

man and started to go there and the ramifications of his actions how well we behave how koreans onto and can perhaps best illustrated by specific given her that occurs a preliminary report that the landowner that is working for and humanistic friedman evidently had let the cows in the corn crop and a demolished some of the corn planted and mandates the regions that we've reported the incident to the remains buried treasure will convene to hear you call a planner into testifying paul

friedman them this association and just thought you'd get here the britons your location is becoming a second the beach we read plath is certainly present this intrusion into johnson's even want control over life questions they're not having to testify in open your unpolluted freedom and you're somebody that they would go to if they were history of political strife the case very serious region haven't personally warren's <unk> freeman when stacy moore and tells the really your job do your job and some of the more it has one word one of the witnesses who have told stories to walk

home but with very very humorous he's very pleased with himself and my comment on it then he had his lawyers quite pleased with the idea that this is what he knows and how to apply it to the house and what we do how

many people are here or whether the previous record every year and we had been let go by president johnson because conway think that president johnson thinks he can you think you can trust to go in an independent joe johnson wants to drive from new dna issues this a reporter telling the freedom and that and you've got to go to work in government is not going to pamper you the government is not going to do you any way you have a hard road ahead of you get used to it is that i didn't necessarily

you know this was a mistake you have really get used to live in the town you know and what we don't know because we weren't hostile are going to be people who have a sense of disappointed but don't really have a concrete sense of what was the thinking i'm

dr reese have clearly spreading all over the south but if you were a black man the family opened with louisiana i don't think to optimistic about what the future happens to be a movie and people are trying this wire walk and why where this money there is one that's been there it's to communicate the eu situation at watson wyatt winds and the relationship between

master and slave is no more now the planets are going to be employees we want to be the police have conflicts arise ye agent of the euro will be higher plateau time to put their friedman bring that were not doing their job very very concerned the larger policy of not have control the end he didn't decide this is the site in washington was the president so he certainly fallen on warts and fourteen marines so they can't fundamentally change the law for me justice

it's b it's very hard very hard for one he says fossil all the little parishes thousand square miles is no way in world and covered with the tiny car notes and recounts how that's been rewritten as a necessary to recover and i he can draw or contacts or certain parts of the region to try to communicate with the visibility supervisor worthley is worth why so many cities in the way that the bureau acting as part of a judiciary that is going to be stopped and then

increasingly all these cases involving remember turned over to the civil courts which means a turnover to court my wife plans offer many of them the ideal was slightly new circumstances and enforceable they wanted state labor supply a lot of the labor force and why your contacts hey the three planet money i cross it all flooded

you know you have the best of it and follow the euro policy to the london times who are everywhere in north louisiana so they may be employees at the heart of our system that is as close to slavery reading it left to their own devices one of the latter that we ate his new memoir to have become small scale subsistence farmers i'll probably would've chosen to dug out of the compound you can come in

but that kind of independents a kind of independence of the sanitary the region iran has no economist or a lot of people or most whites of the time his dream big and small independent farmer that's nice the fbi for more freedom like all like a dream of the ages of life every vigilante owner the sheer raw

like the landowner so for friedman becoming independent landowners is a brain that's their version of the american dream after the white control to order your life to be monitored so what might happen from there water use la la la and his lawyers and are planting corn and peace law that means you don't have leverage were

violations in history the world plantations and one layer that doesn't really have a choice know why he's right and why we're on a plantation if they have intelligence people have alternative soon as they sometimes americans were plantations dependent plantation operations the pinnacle point we wait to wear the slave history of the huge crowd it's been in the press but

you see him resident just because this is what president reconstruction is coming to me isn't on workman's address president johnson is the only one of the presidents who have to do a reconstruction unless you know you feel like why is a real need for a new roof frederick douglass met justin at the second inaugural lincoln's cabinet jobs and the shoulder and when he introduced into frederick douglass recorded with the very first expression johnson's sex with

one school an end and reach those concluded that expression with the true infections are those terms and companions in real estate and maybe give them for intelligence and yet fourteen races he's a handpicked by just remember the message no we're not it's because both this week

well as a conservative on the one he is a courageous unions to remain loyal union two vacant land of the civil war a great person facts at the same time he doesn't like his visit will fall at controlling what is present in the united states on and important when one realizes that the free state government that is set up in louisiana during the war why is enlarged are dominated by transplanting militants much of the nuance is a very cosmopolitan life and much of the leadership of the city before the civil war in the newspapers the

educational institutions are the coffee's worth of big parties in prices have taken lines from recess you have an agent it is because people in treatment they originated two or the city they move the capital from baton rouge to the greasy our warrants in the government and welles reasons for once we're will comes to power and at sixty five between what about the queen where he's accused basically reaction he's sweeps aside all these are sweet society have been put into power and war very fickle base quality mental disorders for

me and starts to replace him with the most but most conservative elements of the humanist movement and returning can that's so that within a few months we'll be chess the political configuration vacation so he's avoiding always or confederates of law they're a concert in the basic basic assumption that the warren assembled the questions that four confederates had learned a lesson that they really get along with that this is a lot of recognize that mistakes some conciliatory and resolve as is that the same thing happens to them or not

say happens when the governor appeared on well pretty much resembles both trying to be conciliatory assume that reflects for too before the curfew all these assumptions turnout the rule while at sixty six welles as a result of his own politics have become an increasingly isolated the air beauty pill i think he's a physics related statistics but there are thousands of black or sort of very free state people that he had he got us thinking

kathy his beheading this week

on one hand he's a courageous loyal union is a great personal sacrifice supports the union cause now we're sure and he wants to stay here so you get all of these briefs dominate freeze the government during wartime wasson says louisiana's governor lyons yes at the tunnel business now it's time for you to the law you would while us

friends and he said well how realistic because the very confused restructure the whole lot when people who are sympathetic to the confederate cause there was no change is possible who of course you miss like we'll sell hot persecuted and i didn't even when friedman or are harassing her wealth is isolated environment that you'd want to create more things he's been a vehicle this

continues i think that the nation's wounds after what she comes as farms here at the beginning of eighty sixty six to teach music for a cat it's probably have been based on pelosi's database of town the people behind morsi which sometimes it's probably good that she's exactly how to make him how awkward she begins is a clear if it is clear that william wallace alaska that they are sort of together there picnicking to get her story about how her and the community is a mess so then you are not a one day and imagines peaceful village said marshall in the dail are strolling down the road a tale seems distracted marshall is somewhat

annoyed that she's not paying enough attention to suddenly she stops and ask him for his service law he holds hands it over to her she promptly caught fire the wall an astronomer at will this new law why are you using horsfall plainness is why he has finally eased up he was right well listen and fellow family that they're going are sorting the remains below asian store again the family

is that they were available is forbidden to see of marshall which she set up a career system using a black family retainer this law works is you live in the series love letters thirty six mile roundtrip that we brush an audience for eventually this week's people why is he i think you're a person's now worth and what are the commune with the war inside info and black sheep the first first kind of hostility it is no

surprise she's trying to mourn their brother gus is out she don't know she is the friend put on a man's sky right now i'm marshall dishes on horses to escort her back in russia now this is a visit to have been a three hour trip to russia they take all my writing at some point she changes plus he says is to be listened to russia changed marc's but i think the bottom line is as the sun is coming up adele and morty in what the morning sun and mcallen how bizarre listening to it has got himself in a position where he's either going to marry her killer i know
