Was Reconstruction more 3T than 1T?
#4
For the Freedmen, Reconstruction was supposed to be a 1T. Southern blacks took on Civic characteristics in attempts to establish effective institutions. Southern whites sought to return as much as possible to the norms of the antebellum era in what looks like an effort to revive a 3T. That of course was a nasty conflict.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
