@ladychelsea.bsky.socialdid you know that during the #Reconstruction, #whitesupremacist groups threatened #Black people's lives, making them vote Democrat (before the party switch--Democrat values then would be Republican values now) or they would be killed?
#history doesn't repeat, but it rhymes
@puertocruzana10.bsky.socialThank #SCOTUS #BrettKavanaugh I’m most corrupt Court since #Reconstruction #JohnRoberts who should never have another peaceful day in life 4 chaos & illegality he’s allowed. Senate & Congress had better investigate their finances. #LockThemUp
@pep59.bsky.socialSharecropping was the snare where the promise failed. Land reverted to former Confederate owners; freed people leased it under crop liens. Debt peonage replaced chains, and hope for ownership became a lifetime of labor for someone else. #Reconstruction #History. Check me out.

@ausetkmt.bsky.socialUntil those who are not smart enough to understand democracy are clearly taught what it is, we will continue the same cycle with repetition based upon ignorance and Hate. Remember #Reconstruction.. some of us are still waiting on it, while others pretend it's not part of the deal. Hello America

@thedomainauction.bsky.social@pep59.bsky.socialEvery delay had a backer. Johnson’s amnesty returned 400,000 acres to former Confederates, while federal troops forced Black landholders off their property. The government moved quickly — just never on their behalf. #Reconstruction #justice. Check me out:

@singlewhiteboy.bsky.social@pep59.bsky.socialThe Freedmen's Bureau was created to control Black freedom, not fund it. It brokered labor agreements for planters and told landless families to wait. Patience became official policy — starvation was the outcome. #Reconstruction

@pep59.bsky.socialIn 1877, federal troops withdrew after a bargain over a disputed election. Southern Democrats pledged to safeguard Black civil rights, yet within two months, Black voters were being disenfranchised across the South. #Reconstruction #VotingRights. Check me out:

@pep59.bsky.socialForty acres wasn't a gift—it was leverage. Sherman's Field Order No. 15 pledged land, then Johnson revoked it months later. Four million newly freed people waited on a government that never intended to compensate them. #Reconstruction #BlackHistory. Check me out;

@paulinepark.bsky.socialRutherford B. Hayes was born #OnThisDay in 1822; the Democrat Samuel Tilden won the popular vote in 1876 but as part of the Compromise of 1877, Hayes became president in exchange for the end of #Reconstruction resulting I a reassertion of white supremacy in the South
