That was a great post. I've been reading more history, because I invariably learn my broad view, even when basically aligned with reality, misses a ton of details. Currently reading "Race and Reunion" by David W. Blight and learning not just about that era but seeing all the rhymes with today.

This is a very interesting article and I can't believe I never read it before. Thank you!

That's my understanding, as well. I was thinking maybe that was a misunderstanding.

Yes! I love when I can show a post to my spouse, saying "remember the hot dogs who like to eat hot dogs while dressed up like hot dogs?"

I remember that. Very much a bummer. I enjoyed her presence on Twitter. And her delightful pig.
