Hey everyone! I recently read this fantastic article in the New York Times (linked), and it made me realize I haven’t read a lot of nonfiction books about the US civil war, reconstruction, slavery, and the long term impacts on southern states. I would love to learn more and wondering if anyone has any recommendations of books in this area.

While I’m here, my book recommendation back to all of you is called “Empire of Pain: the secret history of the Sackler family” by Patrick Radden Keefe, about the role of the Sackler family, their company, and OxyContin in the spiral of the opioid crisis. So good and a chilling read.

Thank you everyone!!
