TRP and American Civil War

[Mark Thibodeau]

I'd scold you for your transgressions against academic ethics, but
that happens to be one of the ways I earned my drinking budget
throughout my five year university career, and also one of the ways I
softened my post-layoff landing in 2012,

My bet is that there's lots of great Civil War related stuff--more
particularly immediate aftermath, Reconstruction, the Square Deal
reaction to that era's Robber Barons, etc--to be found in Against the
Day, but I have yet to read it, so...
