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.

Even if the dude never owned a slave, was a big anti-slavery advocate, criticized those who didn't own slaves, and wanted it abolished.... what he actually did was lead the army of the confederacy, an entity that only existed becuase they wanted to preserve slavery, that fought and killed hundreds of thousands of Union soldiers and sent hundreds of thousands of their own soldiers to their deaths in the defense of their existence as a slave-owning nation. He chose to "defend" slave states, not against tyranny or invasion, but against the rule of law that would provide freedom, rights and dignity to slaves and Black people in general. So... fuck him.
