In the
aftermath of the insurrection a year ago at the U.S. Capitol, many leading
historians drew parallels between the violence and the Reconstruction era, the
period of political revolution directly following the American Civil War.
“The
events we saw reminded me very much of the Reconstruction era and the overthrow
of Reconstruction, which was often accompanied, or accomplished, I should say,
by violent assaults on elected officials,” Eric Foner, Pulitzer Prize-winning
historian and author of Reconstruction: America’s Unfinished Revolution,
1863-1877, said in an interview
with the New Yorker published a week later.
Scholars
say studying the aftermath of the Civil War can help put in context many of the
most seminal events in the U.S. in recent years, from the brutal murder
of George Floyd by police in 2020 to the voter
suppression laws
enacted after Black voters played a big role in helping Joe Biden and Kamala
Harris be elected President and Vice President in 2020. But despite the
timeliness of the era in today’s climate, many students in American schools
will not get a full education on Reconstruction until they get to college.
Unfortunately, some of this history is repeating itself.
