D*mn Africa, What Happened?!

On Wednesdays, we talk politics! Welcome to the 1890 Project Podcast!

In this episode, we delve into the impacts of the Civil War and Reconstruction period in the United States. We discuss the period's transformative events including the Emancipation Proclamation, the appointment of Ulysses S. Grant as commander of the Union Army, and the eventual abolition of slavery. We also explore the political, racial, and economic turmoil that followed the war, leading to the era of Reconstruction and the eventual creation of a system designed to infringe upon the rights and freedoms of African Americans, highlighting the inherent racism in the country's institutions.
