For too long, Reconstruction has been widely regarded as a time of rampant misgovernment thrust on the South by a vindictive cabal of Radical Republicans abetted by unscrupulous carpetbaggers, duplicitous scalawags, and former slaves totally lacking any capacity for self-government. Americans have been weaned on Gone With The Wind's rosy depiction of the antebellum South, with gleeful pickaninnies frolicking in massa's cotton patch.
