Thank you, TC, for shedding light on the "Other South". Your remarks about the KKK reminded me of the biography of US Grant, written by Ron Chernow. Same chilling and hair raising details of Reconstruction and it's aftermath. It's no wonder the GOP has gerrymandered the heck out of those states. They have to preserve all those myths and suppress the truth.

TC, this was a stellar synopsis of American racism. Bravo 👏🏻. And just one piece of American “whitewashed” history, no pun intended. There’s also the story of indigenous Americans and our, mostly unheard of, interference in South America. (Thy Will Be Done ... a beginning uncovering of our sins) Thank you for your efforts in this. My participation has been sketchy of late and will continue to be so while I deal with some health procedures, but I will be following along with great interest.
