Kulturraumstudien USA, Homework for January 9th

 ***Please be advised that our next and last class session of the semester will take place on January 9th.***

For homework, please read pp. 71-82 of "Why Do So Few Blacks Study the Civil War?" by Ta-Nehisi Coates posted in the folder "10. Week Ten Reading (Coates)" on Ilias. (Unfortunately, the files uploaded to Ilias in the wrong order, but all of the pages are there. The folder is also located directly under "1. Week One Reading" on Ilias.) What is Coates' answer to his research question?
