Lets begin by backing up a bit. The army up for junius surrenders at appomattox. Clearly the civil war is over. Plans forhe unions the south for the freed men . I dont think there was any even though plan, president lincoln had put forward various ideas, plans of reconstruction during the civil war. These were primarily geared to winning the war, so to speak, and maybe detaching states from the confederacy. Nobody had really thought through exactly what the status of the freed people was going to be. Leesense, at the time of surrender and shortly afterwards followed by lincolns was theation, this fundamental question facing the country. You might say, what are the consequences . Slavery was still legal in certain parts of the United States. It was pretty clear by this point that slavery was doomed. What were the impli
Discord within the capital, a structure that has long visualized aspiration, whether communal belonging and protective enclosure, whether in a civic or religious context, still conveys a sense of National Unity and shared historic memory as envisioned in the original plan and the subsequent renovations.
