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.

I don't think that's accurate. Lincoln was personally against slavery, however he put ending the war and reuniting the country above that. Kinda gross but I think it's the more accurate take.
Until it became clear to him that emancipation (of only the slaves in the South) would be a tactical advantage in the war, at which point he did it. But he had to be convinced and pushed to that point.
