Not interested in your pretend life. Tell someone the gives a crap....
You seemed to be interested enough to comment questioning how I could admire the great work that Lincoln did while myself being attracted to Libertarian Party and libertarian ideas.
I personally am very interested in how you picked up the mishmash of falsehood and spin that you seem to have influencing you. Feel free, if you like, to send a private message.
One great problem with government is corruption. One approach to corruption is to have power diffused, so that once one part becomes corrupt, another part either uncorrupted or even corrupted differently, can hold the other in check. That is the great genius of the US federal system. If a state government is corrupted, it could be put back in line by the people, or it could be restricted by the federal government, or the bad effects of its corruption could be mitigated by the inflow or outgo of uncorrupted people. We see how corrupt Detroit has hemmoraged jobs and people, and those who left are now less affected by Detroit’s corruption.
If one was to accept that Reconstruction government was corrupt, it was in part cured by KKK murders, and in part by the refusal of the US government to continue suppression of the KKK. In response to corruption in the de-reconstructed south, investments in the south were reduced, or were limited to areas where corruption was less of a problem.
On the other hand, if the pre-Reconstruction government was corrupt, or was differently corrupt, the intervention of the US government was at least able to change the path of its corruption, reducing the effect of that corruption on freedmen for the duration of the federal intervention.
