‘A Fancy Way of Saying the Civil War’

Minister Donald Trump On Friday, he trashed 19th-century U.S. history by telling a crowd of his supporters that the Civil War and Reconstruction were the same thing.

Trump held a rally in Corpus Christi, Texas, just days before the state’s primary elections on Tuesday. The president used this opportunity to promote his energy policies. The President began his speech by describing a phone conversation he said he had with the Governor of Texas. Greg Abbott (R):

You know, this is interesting. After the last election, the governor called me. “You know, you did something no Republican has ever done. You won every border town and little border city, but you won every border town from top to bottom, from one side to the other.” “This is the first time something like this has happened since then,” he said – he used the word ‘Reconstruction’, right? And I said, “Well, when you say ‘Reconstruction,’ you mean the Civil War? Is that what you’re saying?” That was a fancy way of saying the Civil War. He said this was the first time. We won largely all the Spanish votes. We love Hispanic voters. We love them.

Truth be told, ‘Reconstruction’ is not just a fancy way of saying ‘Civil War’. The term refers to the post-Civil War period when former Confederate states were readmitted to the Union and forced to comply with the Constitution and federal laws, particularly the newly ratified 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments, respectively, which abolished slavery, granted citizenship and attendant rights to all persons born in the United States (including former slaves), and prohibited the denial of voting rights based on race. In some cases, US troops were deployed to ensure compliance with the law.

Reconstruction ended in 1877 as part of an agreement to resolve the disputed presidential election of 1876. Southern states then enacted the infamous Jim Crow policies that stripped away, often through violence, the rights Blacks had gained during the Reconstruction era.

Elsewhere in his speech, Trump congratulated the Representatives. Tony Gonzales (R-TX), despite facing calls to resign after, for some unexplained reason, a former staffer of the lawmaker committed suicide after reportedly having an affair with him. The president also claimed that a police officer told him that he would have a better sex life thanks to the economy. Trump also announced a hypothetical candidacy of Senator. Ted Cruz (R-TX) He will pass the Senate to the U.S. Supreme Court because other senators think “he’s a troublemaker.”
