"Counter-Reconstruction" was a white racist political movement that occurred in southern states after the Civil War. Counter-Reconstruction systematically sought denial black voting rights, removal of blacks from political office and curtailment of economic opportunities available to blacks. Southern whites had became terrified by wide-spread black engagement in legitimate political process by the 1870s. Counter-Reconstruction was the initial, reactionary phase of the Jim Crow era. The term plays on "Counter-Reformation". Since the Counter-Reformation was self-serving Catholic reaction to Protestant gains, the term further indicts the largely-Protestant southern white population for its Christian hypocrisy.
Robert Brown Elliot unavoidably fueled Counter-Reconstruction in his brilliant 1874 Congressional debate with the "brain of the confederacy". Southern whites were terrified by an eloquent, erudite black leader who was a living repudiation of plantation racism. They reacted in fear and overwhelming numbers to reimpose slavery in the form of Jim Crow laws. As a result, the aims of Reconstruction would not take hold for another 90 years.

Get the Reconbobulate mug.Recon is a shortened form of the military term reconnaissance which is defined as the clandestine exploration of an area to gain information.
Recon Sunshine is rain, wind, cold, hail, or other uncomfortable weather elements that makes people not want to be outside. Thus you are alone and the weather noise covers some of the noise a reconnaissance team might make while traveling, usually at night. Recon Sunshine saves lives by eliminating the quantity and motivation of sentries, guards, patrols, and other who might happen across a reconnaissance team.
When the weather is bad outside there are less guards, and passer bys in the area who would otherwise need to be avoided by a special operations force or special missions units. (USMS Recon, Army Rangers, Special Forces, DevGru, Delta, Force Recon, Snipers, Seals* max effective range 500 m, STA, forward observers, Air Combat Controllers)
