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.

It might also ve been something to do with superstition. I once read in a book, that back in the day they always buried something living when constructing a new dyke on the north sea coast. Like a stray dog or something, just built it into the dyke. Because they believed it would make the dyke stronger.
I've done a lot of old house renovations, but this was the only time I ever found rats in the plaster.
