this is exactly what they thought should happen with the south, the big land stations of the south needed to be broken up and redistributed to former -- former slaves and white unionists so that a loyal yeomannery could form in the south. think about this. in my world, of academics, this is a pretty significant contention. why historians generally treat land distribution in the south as one of reconstruction's lost moments, where things could have happened differently. this dates back to perhaps one of the most famous historians, the black intellectual w.e.b. dubois. but historians seem to act as if federal indian policy during reconstruction and afterwards is completely different, unconnected. in my opinion is that the same ideology was at the foundation of both efforts. citizenship for both african-americans and indians during reconstruction -- upon their exceptions -- acceptance of anglo-american culture, religion, and land use ideals. let's begin talking about reconstruction itself. reconstruction formally began not after the war, that in december of 1863, during the war, after the u.

and in south carolina. men broke paroles to fight against the british. they were literally risking their necks to do so. they could very well be hung if they were captured and certainly happened to a number of men who took oaths of allegiance. probably the most egregious example of that was isaac hane, a south carolina militia colonel who was captured at the siege but asked the british to return to his home so he can care for his sick family. well, when patriot forces overtake his area, they convince hain to go back in the field arguing because they had retaken his district that, you know, did away with his parole promise. well, hain is unfortunately captured by the british forces and they had had enough of these gentlemen who were breaking oaths of allegiance and breaking paroles and hain would be executed by the british offices in charleston. so that desire was strong to go back and fight, but it did have its limits. certainly those maryland and delaware continentals who decided to go into charleston as p

south jersey the stickier it feels. showers that we're seeing right now are probably off the board after about eight or 9 o'clock and then we get into the afternoon and the model is putting some additional showers and perhaps a thunderstorm down to the south and you see some more of that by 5:30 this afternoon. looks like it will be done by about seven or 8 o'clock so if you are in south jersey down the beach perhaps or in delaware today and you see the skies turning gray and ominous or you hear a rumble of thunder it's out of the pool right away and off the beach. 92 degrees up in the lehigh valley. not expecting any rain up there. still hot, more sunshine up north. not very humid but a high of 92. down the shore especially the farther south you go down the coast it will still feel pretty muggy. 84 is the high though and that's not too bad and in philadelphia a high of 91 degrees. not as intense heat-wise nor as humid as the last several days. but still hot enough for cool drinks. your exclusive accuweather 7-day, toda

the south. the only ones that escaped seizure were fort pickens in pensacola and fort sumpter at charleston. other than that, the south was already seizing these weapons and they were -- the states were buying weapons in europe. they were preparing for war and ultimately, the decision was made personally by jefferson davis authorizing to bombard ford sumpter to bomb the war. given the reasons for the south seceding and forming the confederacy it should not be a surprise that once those things were in place there was going to be a war and as you will see there were a lot of people trying to avoid a war by dealing with the issue of slavery. okay. the first thing i want to do is look at contemporary evidence, 1860, 1861. i think that's the only or the most valid way to determine the cause of secession and the formation of the confederacy. a lot of people display or wave the confederate battle flag and my question is basically when they're doing that what does that flag stands for? that's the confed

it was in south carolina. it was in mississippi where you had the largest number of african-americans who were actually voting and sort of mobilizing to hold office and where black political power was greatest was where white violence was also the worst. think that goes to your point, that having african-americans holding political power was such an inront to white southerners the 19th century. this came up in the previous panel, the long presence of african-american soldiers during the war in memphis. hannah rose and talked about some of those men came to the women's houses and asked with her husband's work, and if he is a filter, as if some of those women were being targeted specifically because their husbands had been soldiers. again, it is the same kind of thing. voteare not mobilizing to yet, but it is the presence of african-american men in u.s. uniforms purporting to represent the united states as a member of its military. that in and of itself was a revolutionary and radical thing for a lot of, particu

what had happened was almost the entire war was fought in the south and the south was just an economic basket case by the end of the war because northern armies had gone through and destroyed pretty much anything of economic value. in addition, you have to realize that the south's major institution, social institution that is slavery had suddenly come to an end and there were between 3 1/2 and 4 million slaves with big questions about what happens to these african-americans. and so southerners felt compelled to explain why it was that this devastation had occurred and that for example, 25% of southern white men between the ages of 20 and 45 were dead, not just casualties, they were dead as a result of the civil war. so there was a lot of explaining to do. and that's the origin of the myth, those first 30 years. but it has continued, and probably the best example are the seven volumes by douglas free man in the 1930s and 1940s. first of all explaining in the first four volumes called "r.e. lee" that lee walked on water and then in the next three volumes, basically explaining any faults
