They're going to erase what happened and what drove or caused the Civil War.
They're gonna talk about America's ingenuity, its economic power.
It finally is on its own.
It's not beholden to Europe any longer.
But at the heart of it though,
is this violence that's happening across the South as Reconstruction collapses.
Frederick Douglass is perhaps the most famous Black man.
He is the most famous Black person in the country, the most photographed Black person in the country.
He's scheduled to be on the dais with President Grant.
He tries to get in.
A Philadelphia police officer says, no, you're not on the dais.
He shows him his ticket.
He says, there's no way this N-word can be on the dais.
If it wasn't for a politician, a white politician who saw him, Douglass would never have been admitted to the exposition.
And then he was just, he had to sit on stage silent.
They would not allow him to speak.
So 1876 is this extraordinary moment of forgetfulness, in a way, shadowed by violence and the collapse of Reconstruction.
And what makes it possible, this is the key, what makes reunion possible between the South and the North is that they see themselves as white.
And that whiteness can then overcome regional differences.
And we see that evidence itself more clearly in the turn of the century and the first two decades as we grapple as a nation with European immigration and with Jim Crow and the violence around it.
