Where we meme (joking in tone and detail, serious in sentiment) about General Sherman, the Civil War, and how the secesh traitors had it coming.

RULES

  1. No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.

  2. No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

  3. Follow all Piefed.social rules

I mean, you could argue in Bleeding Kansas he was a terrorist, but his actions in Bleeding Kansas are more controversial even amongst his supporters than his actions at Harpers Ferry, which are a more 'conventional' attempt at an uprising and the source of his everlasting fame and glory.

But yes, I agree, his actions in Kansas fit the definition and the brutality of it should not be downplayed. "A terrible remedy for a terrible malady"
