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.

Oh, yeah, generally arbitrary hierarchies, and often even non-arbitrary hierarchies, end up poorly.
In general, human society is a question of balance of power. Once one group's power becomes overwhelming enough that its decisions can't be meaningfully disputed by the victims, increasingly immoral behavior tends to follow. The greater the imbalance of power, the greater the immorality, usually.
