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

Went through school in the Deep South, the state actually had us take a course focusing specifically on the civil war, think it replaced a semester of social studies and was separate from the standard curriculum. I forgot about it until now, but yeah, it was a pretty dry overview of that time period, a lot of battle dates and very specific details that I can't recall now. Very point blank, "eeyup, we fucked up here, here, here, and here" kind of stuff. A bit surprising looking back at it now, considering how young and where I was at the time.
Weird to me you said it was "we fucked up". I would think they'd distance themselves from the losers and consider themselves the winners." They fucked up, and now their territory is back ours and we live here!"
