Less than a generation after the US fought the bloodiest war in its history to eradicate slavery, the south had reestablished a racist legal power structure that sabotaged the hard-fought reforms many had died for; why did the north let them do it? Did it provoke outrage/protest?

How did the generation of hippies change their political opinions, from the 60's to today? How does their position on the political spectrum, as senior citizens, differ from that of other sub group of senior citizens, who were more conservative at the time of their young adulthood, e.g., boomers?

One side says that the Knights of Rhodes were still honourable knights defending Christians from the Ottomans, the other side say the Knights of Rhodes were pirates who preyed on helpless Muslim ships. What were these knights actually like?
