Abstract
This essay examines the development of the social memory of the American Civil War in the first fifty years after the end of the war. During these decades, three major narratives emerged: a reconciliationist vision that emphasized the common heritage of the North and South and the valour of all soldiers; a white supremacist vision of white racial victory that championed terror and violence and eventually became a component of the reconciliationist vision; and the emancipationist vision, borne of African American remembrance and which conceived of the war as a rebirth of the Republic and the liberation of blacks to citizenship and equality. Moving chronologically through fifty years, I analyze the role of reconciliationist and emancipationist intellectuals, politicians, and organizations as they contested and shaped the enduring memory of the Civil War.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
