People who think history get's written by the victor don't know about the Daughters of the Confederacy. My mother's history text in high school was basically written by Miss Millie.

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.

Specifically she fought to indoctrinate future generations by eliminating any books which did not support her views, writing to all schools and librarians, "Reject any book that says the South fought to hold her slaves".[29] She was willing to alter the historical record to make her point—in a speech in Dallas in 1916 she claimed that "the negroes in the South were never called slaves. That term came in with the abolition crusade."[30] Historian David W. Blightstated that she sought the vindication of the Confederacy "with a political fervor that would rival the ministry of propaganda in any twentieth-century dictatorship".[31]
In 1914, she joined the Georgia Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage and became a "vocal opponent" of women's suffrage and the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which was ratified on August 18, 1920.[20][32] She viewed suffrage as "not a step toward equality, but rather a way of robbing women of the only power they truly held – that of feminine influence and persuasion within their families. Rutherford never reconciled this view with the fact that she herself was one of Georgia's most publicly active and well-known women of her time".
Ah, the moral consistency I’ve come to expect from American conservatives.

What a horrid cunt
"Why is America like that?"
Because shit like this should have been done 150 years ago.
Manhunt on Apple TV paints a pretty sad picture of what coulda been vs what was.
Yeah they treated the South pretty leniently. Should've gone Khwarazmian on their asses.
And nothing of value was lost.
You know what's beautiful? Once a loophole goes away, it very rarely comes back.
