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 Lemmy.world rules

Exactly. The Civil War- era Constitutions of the Southern states ALL mentioned the right to keep slavery as one of their first, if not the first, reason for secession.

And the Confederacy actually forbid any of it's member states from ever banking slavery.

So "states rights" was always a lie. The South actively fought against state authority.
