Published: Oct. 20, 2017, 12:32 p.m.

b'I was told by an \\u201cactual historian\\u201d who teaches at Princeton the other day to \\u201cget to reading.\\u201d Why did he suggest I do this? Because I had the audacity to insist that he provide evidence that Confederate monuments were erected to \\u201cobscure bi-racial democracy.\\u201d His \\u201cproof\\u201d was David Blight\\u2019s book \\u201cRace and Reunion.\\u201d This professor assumed I had never read the book, and one little follower asked for me to provide a review. So, here you go. My review of David Blight\\u2019s \\u201cRace and Reunion.\\u201d Short review: except for one chapter, you could skip it. And by the way, it doesn\\u2019t prove this historian\\u2019s point. You can\\u2019t because the evidence doesn\\u2019t exist.\\n\\n--- \\n\\nSend in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brion-mcclanahan/message\\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brion-mcclanahan/support'
