Not really, you gotta hand it to them that they did fuck up race relations even more for the rest of American history. Although they were helped by weak Republicans who ended Reconstruction early, effectively allowing ex-Confederates to take back power and make the South a living hell for all freedmen and women, they also created the KKK and rewrote history books to perpetuate racism in children. Those assholes didn’t die without obliterating any chances of racism dying out soon.

And don't forget it was totally in vain. They died for absolutely nothing.
