Hey Koby, I liked your inclusion of more information beyond just what we were given in material. It helps paint a wider canvas as to the political shift the US underwent post-Civil War.
One thing that I always find important to bring up, is that the Thirteenth Amendment did not actually abolish slavery. Instead, it left a rather large loop hole that has had terrible consequences since it's ratification where slavery is perfectly acceptable "as punishment whereof the party shall have been duly convicted" as far as was originally intended by it's passing. This was, in my view, a major error that had disfigured the justice system to this day to put profit over rehabilitation. Andrew Jackson's term also set a harsh precedent where despite the Union's victory, not all was properly fixed and integration was made entirely more difficult. Good highlighted points to bring up as we start out lessons there, excited to learn with you!
