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.

And by explicit, he means explicit. They state their new nation is about slavery at least 4 separate times in a relatively short document, with black chattel slavery named as a requirement of any confederate state that was foundational, and could not at any point be outlawed. Their states had no "states rights" when it came to slavery.
The confederate States foundation was not a rejection of the US that happened to include legalizing slavery, it was was a rejection of the Union in order to forever legalize slavery specifically, as its primary aim, and they were not at any point shy about that fact in founding their slaver nation.
And they succeeded in this with the 13th amendment.
