Perhaps one could suggest that Lin Manuel Miranda consider Reconstruction as the subject of his next Broadway musical?
thanks for the review. i usually read the review before watch the movies. but didn’t read fully because i don’t wanna know whats is happens last. so as this review i decide to watch this movie so thanks for the review.
I found your commentary, searching for historical background after watching the movie. You have a truly unique perspective, and I thank you for including so many sources. Most of the movies mentioned; I have seen, and I readily absorbed your reviews, most likely due to my exposure to topics not usually found in History classes, during my tenure as a US Army Equal Opportunity Advisor. This piece is a great ‘jumping off’ point for my continued research, which hopefully will include other works you have authored. Do you lecture? I would love to hear more.
