Heather Cox Richardson: Letters from an American – April 9, 2025 (Wednesday)<\/a><\/h2>\n…
\nSouthern politicians had led their poorer neighbors to war to advance the idea that some people were better than others and had the right\u2014and the duty\u2014to rule. The Founders of the United States had made a terrible mistake when they declared, \u201cAll men are created equal,\u201d southern leaders said. In place of that \u201cfundamentally wrong\u201d idea, they proposed \u201cthe great truth\u201d that white men were a \u201csuperior race.\u201d And within that superior race, some men were better than others.
\n…
\nSo confident was General Grant in the justice of his people\u2019s cause that he asked only that Lee and his men give their word that they would never again fight against the United States and that they turn over their military arms and artillery. The men could keep their sidearms and their horses because Grant wanted them \u201cto be able to put in a crop to carry themselves and their families through the next winter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Their victory on the battlefields made northerners think they had made sure that \u201cgovernment of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.\u201d<\/p>\n
But their conviction that generosity would bring white southerners around to accepting the equality promised in the Declaration of Independence backfired. After Lincoln\u2019s assassination, Andrew Johnson of Tennessee took over the presidency and worked hard to restore white supremacy without the old legal structure of enslavement, while white settlers in the West brought their hierarchical ideas with them and imposed them on Indigenous Americans, on Mexicans and Mexican Americans, and on Asians and Pacific Islanders.

Heather Cox Richardson: Letters from an American – April 9, 2025 (Wednesday)<\/a><\/h2>\n…
\nSouthern politicians had led their poorer neighbors to war to advance the idea that some people were better than others and had the right\u2014and the duty\u2014to rule. The Founders of the United States had made a terrible mistake when they declared, \u201cAll men are created equal,\u201d southern leaders said. In place of that \u201cfundamentally wrong\u201d idea, they proposed \u201cthe great truth\u201d that white men were a \u201csuperior race.\u201d And within that superior race, some men were better than others.
\n…
\nSo confident was General Grant in the justice of his people\u2019s cause that he asked only that Lee and his men give their word that they would never again fight against the United States and that they turn over their military arms and artillery. The men could keep their sidearms and their horses because Grant wanted them \u201cto be able to put in a crop to carry themselves and their families through the next winter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Their victory on the battlefields made northerners think they had made sure that \u201cgovernment of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.\u201d<\/p>\n
But their conviction that generosity would bring white southerners around to accepting the equality promised in the Declaration of Independence backfired. After Lincoln\u2019s assassination, Andrew Johnson of Tennessee took over the presidency and worked hard to restore white supremacy without the old legal structure of enslavement, while white settlers in the West brought their hierarchical ideas with them and imposed them on Indigenous Americans, on Mexicans and Mexican Americans, and on Asians and Pacific Islanders.

Tangle: Trump reverses, pauses tariffs.<\/a><\/h2>\n
16 thoughts on the 90-day pause on Trump’s tariffs.<\/p>\n
Dan Pfeiffer: Why Trump Surrendered So Quickly on His Tariff Plan<\/a><\/h2>\n
Some of Trump’s most influential online fans are none too happy about the tariffs<\/p>\n
Jennifer Rubin: When Autocrats Screw Up<\/a><\/h2>\n
Acting president Elon Musk declared<\/a> that tariff cheerleader Peter Navarro \u201cis truly a moron.\u201d What does that imply about President In Name Only (PINO) Donald Trump, who has swallowed Navarro\u2019s advice hook, line, and sinker? (One wonders if Trump will notice that the man whom he allowed to run the federal government thinks he\u2014or at least his chosen policy course\u2014is idiotic.)<\/p>\n
And that was before<\/strong> Trump threw the tariff train into reverse, announcing he was \u201cpausing\u201d tariffs on many countries but imposing a 125 percent tax (tariff) on goods from China. A 10 percent across-the-board tariff nevertheless would remain on other countries. Got that? (He doesn\u2019t, either.) The sheer chaos and confusion he has caused is hard to describe. Unnerved investors, employers, and consumers may well hunker down, avoiding all big decisions, which could\u2014in and of itself\u2014throw us into a recession.

Daily: Adam Schiff Is Investigating Trump For Insider Trading<\/a><\/h2>\n
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is starting to investigate the Trump White House for stock market manipulation and insider trading.
\nSen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) has done more than his share of investigating Trump. While he was chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Schiff led the first Trump impeachment investigation and prosecution. Sen. Schiff also served on the select committee that investigated the 1\/6 attack on the Capitol.<\/p>\nWhen Adam Schiff sounds the alarm about potential Trump crimes, people should pay attention.

Timothy Snyder: Trump’s Psychological Vulnerability<\/a><\/h2>\n
Trump has an obvious weakness that makes America weak. He places the American economy at risk for the sake of a personal foible, a visible vulnerability.<\/p>\n
All his adult life, Trump has been ripping people off. That is his modus operandi. Rather than a conscience, he has the habit of displacement. It is not that he is ripping people off. Everyone else is ripping him off.
