      It's sad that the US destroys itself over racism. We have no public transit, our schools are de facto segregated, and our healthcare system sucks. Ron Paul called MLK a communist in his newsletters and then ran for president in 2008 and 2012. It's always been there.

      It's that Reconstruction was completely botched after the assassination of Lincoln. And somehow, 10 years after the war, the southern democrats had the political upper hand. I honestly think that Reconstruction should have continued for another century.

      @@Soopahperry111 it really is the Left who are the provocateurs in the new civil w*r which is coming. I can't see my comment, because UA-cam has me on their enemies list, and yanks almost everything of mine, but I think I said quite ironically that it was Republicans who were supposed to be the N*zis. But you mean unironically that you think that? So, you wish Georgia had been deleted, then? And I suppose that if one approaches it contemporarily, you want to erase half the country? If I am interpreting you correctly, you are, indeed, made of the same psychological material as drove the Austrian corporal.
      It's pointless for me to write about the horror you wish had been inflicted and to try to persuade you of its evilness. One doesn't attempt to persuade Cluster B types. Bukele, in El Salvador, seems to have the right idea for dealing with them.

If not for Roberts professional integrity (if it exists) and the fact Garrison seems VERY intelligent and mature, I'd be worried about if they were being groomed. But I trust Roberts ability to separate work and play (Garrison is work) and trust Garrisons everything so it's just a bizarrely age gapped friendship that's closer than many friendships are

    I always take people saying people from the past being "just like trump" with a grain of salt, but my god Talmadge is the best example of a historical figure mirroring Trump's qualities: offering the people a charismatic leader while personally sitting back and doing nothing. Filling the time with racist tirades and courting the ultra-wealthy, and of course sprinkled with some ridiculous capers which are almost all blatant corruption

    The Wild Man from Sugar Creek is good, narrative biography. You all did a great job sharing that story as Anderson tells it.
    The book is from the 1970s and the author’s approach is shaped by what he knew then. It would be great for a newer biography that includes perspectives from newer political science and African American history.
    Someone could probably find the names of the young men who were given to Ol’ Gene’s farm, or the porter who rode the train with them back from the Kentucky Derby. That resilience would be fascinating to know more about.
    Also Herman’s story as a Governor and US Senator is also colorful and full of crazy stories. Could be fodder for a future episode, although maybe your audience has had enough Georgia history for a while😂

    The Moore’s Ford lynching in July 1946 also affected the Arnall stance on civil rights that summer. One of the persons killed was a veteran. National media covered it. Newer scholarship than Anderson cite the role of a Talmadge rally in inflaming the lynch mob sentiment in that community.
