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

If you actually look at the reconstruction period it never really happened at all. Which is largely because Lincoln's successor didn't believe in it.

Johnson sabotaged everything he could, but Grant was a good Union boy and put in 8 years of effort in Reconstruction.

Shame about Grant's choice of 'friends'.

He was too drunk to make good choices
