re: #346 EPR-radar

I also think the CSA leadership got off too easily. However, it isn’t easy to suggest something clearly better, even with hindsight.

The basic problem was that the intransigence of Confederate leaders was not diminished enough by the loss of the war, and they were in a position to simply outwait the military occupation. Something like Hayes-Tilden was most likely inevitable.

Oh yeah I agree and understand. It was a tough situation. What infuriates me about the Hayes-Tilden election is how African-Americans were basically sold out so the Republicans could win the election. I actually have to believe that President Grant doesn’t get enough credit. His administration went after the KKK admirably.
