There it is again....blood lust.The Southern states had a right to secede for whatever reason. including extremely high tariffs
No, they didn't... that's why they lost.
The mistake was not hanging all the Confederate leaders, and then making it EXPLICITLY clear in the history books that they were the bad guys.
Thankfully, we are FINALLY starting to scrub our history.
Crazed Lincoln Cultists...still out for blood.
Not at all.
Let's look at why no one says, "Hey, let's try Nazism again." No one sane, anyway. Maybe some mutant on Stormfront who occassionally wanders onto here.
Well, it's because in the last 70 years, we took out all the Nazi leaders and hung their asses. We plaster the history books of pictures of what happened at the concentration camps. Displaying a swastika is a crime in Germany and considered in bad taste nearly everywhere else. When you have movies about world war II, the Nazis are ALWAYS the bad guys.
Imagine if we did that with the South? If we plastered the history books with pictures of how slaves were routinely tortured. If we hung Davis and Lee as the traitors they were. If Hollywood made movies about the horrors of slavery instead of shit like Gone with the Wind. If no one flew the stars and bars in polite company.
No one would talk about Uncle Beauregard who fought with General Lee.
