The Two American Reconstructions: An Appraisal, Reflection (Half the Answer #86, with Thomas Zimmer)

What was the first American Reconstruction after the Civil War? Why are some historians suggesting we just left a second sort of Reconstruction era?

Join Caitlin and Trent as they get into it all with historian Thomas Zimmer, going from the first period of Reconstruction, across the late 19th and early 20th centuries, before pressing through this second Reconstruction, which Thomas considers as being from 1965 to 2026.

They then turn their attention towards what lies ahead for the United States, as well as why some Germans just don’t care about what’s going on across the Atlantic Ocean.
