Much like many supposedly "unknowing" German citizens were forced to help clear the dead at the concentration camps, Reconstruction should have also included an "unofficial" system whereby every overseer got whipped just like that by a slave elected from amongst the slaves at their plantation.

Nah, every overseer should have been shot.
