Rise & Fall of the Texas Republicans (1865-1874)
Happy Black History Month and Happy Texas Annexation Day and Valentine's Day! This story has black history, texas history, and a little bit of LOVE history!!!!!
In this episode I look into a rarely studied chapter of American history, Reconstruction Politics in Texas. We'll meet former slaves who build homes and schools, ardent confederates who become abolitionists, deadly klansman terrorizing the land, Northerners answering the call to service and Yankee carpetbaggers cashing in, and even some progressive Germans.
