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

Don't ever stop. The War Where The Slaver Cunts In The South Were Little Bitches And Got Their Asses Kicked was a righteous endeavor. (lemmy.world)

Edit: also, this quote was pre-war, not post-war. He said it in 1858.

My point in pointing out postwar relations was not to assert that 1858 was postwar, but to present a time when slavery was very much abolished and public opinion was very much against slavery, yet a racist hierarchy still existed - ie presenting what Lincoln said in '58 as wholly compatible with an anti-slavery stance, even if not one we would find laudable by modern standards.

Fair enough.
