    Yeah, the Union didn’t take the land-owning plantation class out of power after the war, due to fears that it could’ve kept the war going through guerilla warfare

    the union also had more breathing room to treat southern (former) rebels relatively kindly because everyone was eyeing land in Indian territory and opening that up for settlers helped to mobilize the reconstruction years. So they punished tribes (the ‘five civilized tribes’) that had sided w the confederacy by taking land bc they weren’t even citizens (the irony being that land allotment would eventually lead to the extension of citizenship to these tribes, regardless of their interest) while leaving property owned by white former confederates alone

    yeah i know, its all about money n production in the end thus the reorienting of slavery, my posts is just a shorten dumb down version

    there were people that did want to punish them but people went against them, from literally wiping out all of them, to taking their property, to jailing etc. but most if not all got shot down

    in my eyes tho its seen as "reward" imo especially since some did have connects to the south, while still not doing anything for black people. and the north as a whole still didnt give af about black people really overall anyways, it was just their bias n jealously against the south n their wealth from the labor n them getting to big.

    which on a sidenote, the excuses to not give black reparations (such as not being feasible, not realistic, a different time now etc. etc.) is bull because they basically did give them to ex slavers instead.

    they wanted to keep america whole, while getting over on the south. so if "freeing" black people at the time was the best way to cripple n spite them then so be it.

    but the "benefits" they did receive plus not really recieving any punish outside of the war itself had cascading effect where these people went back into their old ways & started developing deeper, & more, hatred groups which f***ed over a lot over time. mainly blacks then other minorites such as Jews n Spanish etc. still to this day where a lot of that type of thinking stems form since it was allowed to recollect itself. left the weed to regrow and then stretch even further. which you could even say that part was also on purpose, in a way.

    its all f***ed up, & no really cared about black people outside of the money aspect. similar to modern day.

    See my above post. They just punished Indians instead. There are legal documents stating that tribes had to give up land (legitimately 40 acres in some instances) to their former slaves which is sorta good but also interesting how they never forced white slave owners or confederate rebels to do so. While some freedpeople made use of their land this was part of a larger process to simply weaken tribal rights over territories that would eventually be bought up by white upper class settlers, leaving poor white and black farmers on land leases. And natives w increasingly smaller reservations.

    It’s all cited and narrated by Alaine Roberts in her book I’ve Been Here All the While: Black Freedom on Native Land where she gets into specifics w the Cherokee, Chickasaw, and other tribes specific relations to the confederacy and the union

    "Despite the end of slavery, the South was still unrelenting in its desire to reinstate the institution. Former Confederates created militias such as the Ku Klux Klan to terrorize enfranchised Blacks and their white allies, and they used the “except as a punishment for a crime” clause in the Thirteenth Amendment to force Black people into de facto enslavement. Black codes were created throughout Southern states that effectively criminalized Black existence and gave white Southerners ample opportunities to incarcerate Black people. Vagrancy laws were a key aspect of black codes because they effectively made it illegal for a Black person to exist outside of their home unless they were in service of a white person. If a Black person was merely sitting outside in a white part of town while not working, they could be classified as a vagrant. They could be arrested, and bail would be set at an amount that they could not afford to pay. Soon thereafter they could find themselves being forced to work the land of their old plantation without pay, but now they were a prisoner and not a slave."
