American Experience; Reconstruction: The Second Civil War; Interview with Russell Duncan, Historian, University of Copenhagen, part 5 of 5

he's big fbi also today his

last book i think that one thing cameron was able to do is focus on one recent own and they're not home life and americans one of the shoes i think of the oil well why racism that if the leader is removed and gotten rid of the outside agitator we were free again to do what we want to do well with the labor force and so while southern blacks in mostly still mcintosh county were able to aspire to positions more whites who will only too willing to say no not manage to lead city was thomas campbell we did things that were real and so we will accept

regulations would you know we've always been friends with historic ties to slavery and so there's white or convincing themselves that the way many conservatives convince themselves to talk that they're not racist that they do want an equal opportunity for everybody that they don't want to have advantage over the other so let's say to a black laborers just you can rise and b whatever you want and there in the field but i don't expect this to be more free because tims campbell's soup or anything else so i think when relations another relations in mcintosh county became a bit more moderate the time blacks continue to have no american majority in the counting thought they had learned the lessons that templeton watson and so i think that mission continues to be very strong and twenty seven

home and say this isn't the copper solution will change the prison company's system sometimes you have to say well with the winter songs and you don't go and they went and took him to conduct the system the whole north to washington dc he brought this case again before any senators a congressman who listen but reconstruction indian basically magicians accomplished and b hayes was the white house which says the white house and so ken was

so some analysts are publishing for the scandal to set down his experiences in georgia in a book which he did a very limited press run course from the time that your chosen to dive in boston at nine and one we don't know much about his life at that point your course is sixty five years old by the time he leaves the country the scam he returns to georgia inmates and eighty two and created quite a sensation every newspaper in georgia mention back to his camp was back in june and he was arrested again on the spot for another trumpet charged and released to so order at that point he made a speech in republican convention in which he supported a chester arthur

the president then you turn the mcintosh county for a few days to to support an old friend is the condition that in one collection are james bond and so in many ways there is no question among

the tombstones legacy tune to the people the mcintosh county all goes well a person how long was one of the understanding that no matter what the white planners do with the power structure are due to them and there was there was hope and ann taylor well a certain modicum of respect that would never be replaced we were correct in those days we didn't do this we stood in front of the courthouse he confronted sandbox we confront a world of your show that we confront the us army they took away a leader and was still standing there still here or powerful as an organization and community and nobody can ever take that we would pass along ok this

i suppose they're looking over all the reconstruction get into a scandal in the war or work so what could be shown that the demand is striking was in his ability to crude from power the way americans understand controlling it isn't hugely with the goal in overcoming the toughest a lot in many ways i think on americans especially southerners would see suffering as necessary for atonement and i believe that that represents the best low flow bolt systems for labor system that has actually produced a man believers in nineteen forty

eight and very few people right into his campaign trying an end and he's a project assistant as discriminatory that he overcomes i think he does the same thing because to the south he overcomes in the worst of it conditions he becomes too stringent maybe in his approach to to what the american constitution means in it for reconstruction has the promise of reconstruction nobody can do that better to the scandal represents in many ways for a purpose take out the us is white father take out the us is not returning to the south and there's great admiration i think by douglas and campbell for each other in the same struggle

they do represent reconstruction is all about it's about the conciliation an end and then water quality david boyd says those two things will crash headlong into each other and raise hopes reconstruction tax increases for reconstruction but the exact instill fear in one can say well i think he is and i think his mind is is the pragmatic was so that if one avenue apartment is huge block it takes another avenue jumps over the obstacle in containers the best it can and i think that's a traditionally been seen as american idol carrie johnson

oh quite a few this notion of complexity of communicating ways that have been attributed to white civilization starting from roman coming up from the forest and two time germany to issues of americana manifest destiny destiny still happens yeah at the time of the civil war american indians are killed in minnesota in the us army's first since its forces westward at that point so i think the most recent one minute the best hopes the country

that's right he does his own watchdog for black rights he's a laser writer words who believes in the tradition of writing down that's right there's the world of the constitution itself in that city it's striking to me always the americans have the longest lasting and first written constitution we believe in in the end the value for scientists can measure his words carefully when he was attacking the lights go when he's attacking the fans were attacking us that for failing to help him were talking against this law with supporting

black right he believed in the oral on expression of language that thing like to write it down this is a document that can be used to refer to it again be straight for programs like this or in any way sometimes to home what has been written down a new tradition doesn't give us information the two to talk about reconstruction relieved ms bee gees
