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 was an American civil war between two sides of Americans, the Union and the Confederacy.
Separatists and in this case especially those with family history of separatism can have those different identities, as part of the grander "nation" and that of regional separatist one. I haven't heard of CSA having a separate sentiment from that, thinking them completely separate from the American identity that encompassed both prior to the civil war. From what I know it was more of a political affair than feeling like the south was a separate "people".
You uh.......you stupid?
Solid argument
I concur, you estupid
I would've rather had a discussion about this since there seem to be a disagreement but I can't really expect everyone to bother with that.
