The rebuilding of Southern society and the political reintegration of the South into the nation after the Civil War is referred to more generally simply as Reconstruction. However, significant political and other Reconstruction activity by African Americans continued at the local and state levels beyond 1877. ![]() Many historians define Black Reconstruction as spanning the years from 1863 (the year of the Emancipation Proclamation, which made possible widespread black military participation in the Civil War) through 1877 (the year of the national political agreement to remove federal troops from the South).

So, she's got a guy she's crazy about, a thriving business, and "fun" wedding plans to make, including finding an affordable reception site that doesn't have dead animal heads hanging from the walls, a non-poofy dress that adequately corrals her cleavage and a cake that isn't orange inside. ![]() ![]() "X" (she has a name, but why dwell on details?) is long gone, and Will loves Eva now-loves her enough, in fact, to want to move in and get married.

The revolt advocated by Evola does not resemble the familiar protests of either liberals or conservatives. At turns prophetic and provocative, Revolt against the Modern World outlines a profound metaphysics of history and demonstrates how and why we have lost contact with the transcendent dimension of being. As a gadfly, Evola spares no one and nothing in his survey of what we have lost and where we are headed. ![]() With unflinching gaze and uncompromising intensity Julius Evola analyzes the spiritual and cultural malaise at the heart of Western civilization and all that passes for progress in the modern world. ![]() |
