Gerry's Opening Monologue -
"This is Gerry Prokopowicz, with Civil War Talk Radio,...
| | ...as listeners to this show already know, the Civil War didn't end at Appomattox Courthouse. We know about the rebel armies of Johnston and North Carolina, Kirby Smith and the Trans-Mississippi. We also know that the reconstruction years that followed were marked by so much political violence that some scholars consider it consider it a guerrilla continuation of the war. But less well known is what happened when the Federal government, under President Ulysses S. Grant, muster the political will to suppress that violence. In 1871, the US Army was deployed to South Carolina to destroy a large scale terrorist operation. We'll learn the result from Fergus M. Bordewich, author of 'Klan War: Ulysses S. Grant and the Battle to Save Reconstruction," that's tonight on Civil War Talk Radio." |
