Did Reconstruction fail in its mission to unite the nation and establish peace and unity after the war? What is the Lost Cause narrative, and how and why has the Civil War been revised and mythologized? What do these sources say about the postwar economic situation and the assertion of white supremacy? How can we explain white supremacy today? Is there still a socio-economic argument, like during Reconstruction? Or do you think it is rooted deeper in "Founding" ideas about citizenship and belonging?
