Reconstruction of the US

Reconstruction in United States history, refers both to the period after the Civil War when the States of the breakaway Confederacy were reintegrated into the United States of America, and to the process by which this was accomplished.

Northern moderates and radicals alike agreed that for the war to be declared a victory, three points had to be achieved: the Confederacy had to be truly dead, slavery had to be truly dead, and the possibility of either being revived had to be eliminated. How to achieve these three goals and who would decide when they were achieved, caused great controversy. From the point of view of Radical Republicans, reaching these goals was an essential part of the destruction of the Slave Power and necessary to guaranteeing perpetual union, as well as a solution to the problem of the Freedmen.

Multiple post error. Not intentional.

Intelligent people know better than to use a completely non-factual term. When facts are reduced to mere "semantics," the point is already proven.

Intelligent people understand the intentional equation of civil war and civil rights, primarily as a means of justifying the invasion.

@cgrsmknwmn Dude thats semantics. What is the point in that statement? intelligent people wouldn't bother to interject that moot point. Regardless of the title of the war the facts still remain the same.

It was in no way a "civil war," as the South seceded, formed its own government, and never fought for control of the US government.

Yes, I know "But, that's what they call it." They are incorrect.  Intelligent people know better.
