RECONSTRUCTIONS ERA ENDS TOKEN 1877

 
 
This is my one of my rarest (may be) and artistic token named RECONSTRUCTIONS ERA ENDS Token 1877.

Below is some description about this Reconstruction Era Ends Token.

RECONSTRUCTIONS ERA ENDS TOKEN  1877
 
President Hayes kept his campaign promise to remove federal troops from the South, ending the period known as Reconstruction. The order was given on May 1st, 1877. The decision to end Reconstruction and return the rule to Southerners, soon resulted in the disenfranchisement of the Blacks in the South.President Hayes promised to withdraw federal troops from the South if he became President.
He kept his promise, thus ending the Era of Reconstruction in the South.
The end of Reconstruction returned control of the government in the South to the white southerners who promptly disenfranchised African-Americans. The period of Reconstruction continues to be disputed by historians today. One view considers Reconstruction to have been an opportunity lost. Instead of working to heal the wounds, it caused greater rifts between the South and the North,  by imposing Northern rule on the South without dealing with the underlying social and economic problems. The other school of thought states that the racism of the South would not allow Reconstruction to succeed. This racism insured that, once federal troops were no longer available to protect the rights of blacks, these rights would be immediately eliminated. In 1882, Ex-slave Frederick Douglass probably put it best when he wrote:
"Though slavery was abolished, the wrongs of my people were not ended.
Though they were slaves, they were not yet quite free. No man can be truly free whose liberty is dependent upon the thoughts, feeling, and actions of others,
and who has himself no means in his own hands for guarding, protecting, defending, and maintaining that liberty. Yet the Negro after his emancipation was precisely in this state of destitution. He was free from the individual master but the slave of society. He had neither money, property, nor friends. He was free from the old plantation, but he had nothing but the dusty road under his feet. He was free from the old quarter that once gave him shelter, but a slave to the rains of summer and the frost of winter. He was in a word, literally tuned loose, naked, hungry, and destitute to the open sky."

It was not until the late 1960's that African-Americans in the South would achieve the legal rights, and not until the 1980's that they would regain the political power they had obtained under Reconstruction.
 
 

Muktidham Temple Token

This is Muktidham Temple Token in my collection.

Muktidham is a marble temple complex honouring various Hindu gods. It is a popular tourist attraction situated in the Nashik Road suburb of the city of Nashik in the western state of Maharashtra in India. It is privately operated through a trust and was built through a generous donation by the late Mr. J.D. Chauhan-Bytco, a local industrialist.
 
Muktidham Temple, Nashik.

It has replicas of 12 Jyotirlingas, which have been built as per dimension of original deities and have been sanctified by sending them to their respective pilgrimage centers. The temple is made with marble from Makrana in Rajastan, and by Rajastani sculptors. Unique to this temple are eighteen chapters of Geeta written on the walls. Apart from the replicas of all the twelve Jyotirlingas, there are also idols of all major Hindu Gods and Goddesses.Devotees prefer to visit Muktidham Temple during the period of a famous fair “Kumbh Mela”.

It is believed that a holy dharshan of this shrine provides as much virtue as a visit to four holy places, which makes this magnificient shrine a crowded pilgrim center. This delicate piece of architecture with its glittering whiteness embodies its serenity and sacredness. Exquisitely carved interior walls with the 18 chapters of Bhagavad Gita, is worth mentioning.
