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

They didn't just secede, they started shooting. If the south had not attacked the US Army, I don't know if the USA would have had the political will for the necessary sacrifices.

I wonder if that was a kind of déformation professionnelle. They were slavers and used to force their will through immediate, massive, brutal violence.

déformation professionnelle

Fascinating. First time I've heard this term. I'll have to use it in the future.
