the white-hating race hustlers like Billyboom and Biff_Poindexter are using misunderstood history for their own race baiting today
Real accurate history comes from old John Wayne movies.
The term was Galvanized Yankee.

After the war it was not exactly common, but certainly not unheard of. Every Calvary Unit certainly had at least one. Probably a handful of former Confederates. Entire Infantry Units were made up of former Confederate Soldiers.
The people in question were Soldiers to the bone. And flourished under the discipline and hardships common in the military.
In other words. The people of the era did not hate the Confederates nearly as much as you do today. And this despite the fact that everyone knew someone who had died in that horrific war. For the people of the West. They did not care that the soldiers fighting the Indians were former Confederates.
It was you Northern Whites who started Segregation and kept it going after the war. The truth was shown in that movie. But you don’t care about accurate truth. You care more about what you think history should be. Not what it is.
it is said that those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it. I say if you are determined to rewrite history, you are certain to wish it had only repeated.
