"Reconstruction didn't go far enough"? That's absurd. I suspect you are not familiar with the history of Reconstruction. It is the Reconstruction that earned the animosity of the South towards the North. What is going on right now is payback for the Reconstruction not for The War.
FYI, for a modern model of the Reconstruction just look at the mess the Republicans are making of running Iraq. That sort of cronyism and war profiteering in the Republican party goes back to the Reconstruction. That the South supports the Iraqi occupation is a bit of irony missed by many people.
