After Grant: Southern Redemption and Jim Crow, Reconstruction Ends after Contested 1876 Election
Why was Ulysses S Grant popular with his contemporaries, while historians often placed him near the bottom in their rankings of the presidents?
Was President Grant able to successfully guarantee black access to the ballot in the South? Why were thousands of blacks murdered during the 1876 election?
Why were the 1876 fake electors excused, while the 2020 fake electors were prosecuted, and sometimes jailed?
Why were the Union troops pulled out of the former Confederate states after the 1876 election? Did this mean the end of Reconstruction?

As Socrates teaches us, the examined life is a life worth living. We would be fools if we did not desire to learn from our multitude of friends whose words live in the works of the classics that have survived from past centuries and millennia. The Stoic and moral philosophers of Greece and Rome saw philosophy as an evangelical enterprise, seeking to spread the joy of living a godly life for its own sake.
Our projects include:
Studying the teachings of the ancient and modern stoic and moral philosophers on how to better lead a godly life.
Studying ancient and modern history to learn moral lessons and learn how we can successfully live a life of faith in trying times, including civil rights and social gospel history.
Studying issues of morality in the Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and Jewish traditions.
Everyone should join and participate in their local church. However, my internet persona is purposefully obscure so that I can be respectful of all genuine Judeo-Christian traditions, I do not wish to be disrespectfully polemical.

    To admire is humility and a blessing that someone other than yourself has done something so well for all that you maybe couldn’t do yourself. If there’s no one else to admire you’ll be left doing all the work and that’s why greatness is not a competition but a challenge with no monopoly.

    • @ReflectionsMPH
      @ReflectionsMPH Місяць тому

      Birth defects do indeed afflict people at random, and science says many are condemned to suffering simply by heredity. I discuss this in my introductory video. The reality is that many of us will suffer, sometimes seemingly randomly. I tend to a Christian Stoic outlook. Should we be angry at God for creating an imperfect world? But in addition to praying for healing, should we also pray for the strength to endure our suffering, and become better people through both our blessings and sufferings?

    You mention an incident in Oklahoma. Oklahoma law authorizes abortion only to save the life of the mother, and protects the judgment of medical professionals in making such a determination, according to the state's attorney general. Therefore, it seems like the incident is not due to the state's abortion laws but was a bad decision on the part of the medical providers, and quite possibly was medical malpractice. This makes me suspect the premise of your argument. You characterize all of these cases as injustices caused by the US Supreme Court's ruling that there is no Constitutional right to an abortion. This characterization is false. As for the Presidential candidate debate, Trump said, "Her vice-presidential pick says abortion in the 9th month is absolutely fine" (at which point Kamala makes a face, shakes her head vehemently, and mouths, "that's not true"); "he also says execution after birth--it's execution, no longer abortion, because the baby is born--is okay, and that's not okay with me." Moderator Linsey Davis immediately weighed in: “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born,” she said. But apparently it is legal in Minnesota, the home state of Tim Walz! The truth: data from the Minnesota Department of Health shows that at least eight babies who survived abortions in the state were left to die between 2019 and 2021. In January 2023, Tim Walz signed the Protect Reproductive Options Act, which repealed the state's Born Alive Infant Protection Act. This new law essentially removed all restrictions on abortion, and it also removed the requirement for abortion 'providers' to report cases in which infants survive the abortion attempt. Thus, live-birth homicides no longer even have to be reported or tracked, and we have no way of knowing how many more live-born babies are being killed in Minnesota. Eight states in the US currently allow abortion right up to the moment of birth, but Minnesota takes it a step further. Thus, Pres. Trump was factually correct.

    Just wanted to let you know that Augustine is not pronounced with a long E but a short "i" sound as in the word "tin" and the accent is on "gus" not on "Aug". Drop the last letter (e) and it makes more sense. Augustin. Otherwise you put together a beautiful video!😊

      I live in Jacksonville, and have visited St Augustine many times, so that is the Deep South pronunciation.

    Thank you. This was some of the most informative 16 minutes I've seen on the JO.
