Slavery and the Reconstruction Era are two eras that this country should never live down, and still hasn't.

And Johnson, seeing the mass power before him, did nothing to stop what arguably became the darkest time in United States history that is shockingly not talked about enough. The Reconstruction Era is probably the worst time in American history. Blacks and Mexicans were lynched, beaten, intimidated, and placed into a worse situation than even Slavery had them. This was during a time where if a black man was a slave, they at least wouldn't be murdered, but now with slavery abolished, they were less than worthless.

I think one of the reasons it isn't talked about enough is because it's too fucking sad and demented.
