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.

The war of southern aggression. Only started because the south wouldn't let us free the enslaved people who entered northern states.

Wasn't that like a decade before? When the "states' rights" states had the federal government enforce their laws in the free states, via a supreme court ruling?

Yeah but it was a grievance that increased escalation on our part. Basically a "if you don't respect our right to be free we won't respect your right not to"
