It's unreal that they got away with commiting treason and received zero punishment for it. If I attempted a Coup against the American government and killed several soldiers, I would've been thrown in prison for years. Meanwhile they got a slap on the risk and clearly learned nothing. It's unreal.
>retards in 2023 are more mad about the Confederacy than Union veterans ever were
Yes because we know their rebellious spirit is still there and that they need er learned their place. We know now that they aren't people. They are wild animals who will always fall back to their violent, backwards nature the moment you sleep on them. Literally all they had to do was leave the black people alone and stop slowing down progress all the time. They can't even do that and won't until they're taught a lesson.
>slowing down progress
I actually laughed. South Carolina was the richest state in the union, why do you think it seceded? It was paying for everything and getting nothing
Most federal taxes before the war were paid on imports at the port of New York.
>why do you think it seceded?
Muh wey uhf liaf
it didn't even secede over slavery, it seceded because lincoln was going to crank up taxes on them to build a transcontinental railroad which they eventually just printed all the money for and put it in the North
Cope. Your way of life is objectively inhumane.
>Source or bullshit.
Yup. Rich man’s war, poor man’s fight.
That’s revisionist bullshit. Read the different state’s articles of secession. They’ll tell you exactly why they were traitors.
A-fuckin-men! Can you imagine where our country would be without all the shit the South had dragged us through? Grant should have arrested and summarily executed every member of the confederate government and the traitor state’s’ governments above a clerical worker, and every confederate officer above lieutenant, then left their bodies unburied on the smoldering ashes of their traitor governments’ buildings.
>Can you imagine where our country would be without all the shit the South had dragged us through?
Congratulations, by ranting about your hatred of secession, you’ve justified secession.
>progress

Remembee when Europe left Africa and it became the richest most developed continent without wypipo terorizing them with roads and schools an shiet

it was actually a pretty mutual peace, Robert E Lee said that if he knew what they were going to do after peace he never would have surrendered until he died. Saying this automatically gets you accused of being a racist spreading propaganda so it's probably true
That was mostly tough talk from Lee. Grant had him surrounded and would've just kept tightening the noose until Lee either tapped or the entire Army of Northern Virginia was nothing but corpses.
It's not that he thought he'd win, he'd just rather be dead
Why does Canada look weird?
The War Nerd was right about that. Thankfully, at least the shrines and idols to the Confederate generals the neoconfederate religion worships as gods are being smashed and cast down from public spaces, and the Lost Cause propaganda taught in fewer and fewer schools. It put a big smile on my face seeing them melt down the statue of that whiny slaving bitch Robert E. Lee.
Don't worry, they don't teach people the truth
>War Nerd
People over 15 still read that shit?
Another day, another limp-wristed leftist whining like a bitch about the South.
May they cope into inner peace.
Your Grandchildren will hate you.
Let's face it, in the rare chance they have reproduced their kids already do. Niggas will blame ~~*DA JOOOOOOOOOOOOOS*~~ and everything else on the planet before acknowledging nobody likes their Rush Limbaugh routine at Christmas dinner.
Hey you can't say they didn't at least try to be annoying
Southerners died so rich men wouldn't have to do their own chores, Northerners died so black people didn't have to do chores for free.
I'll bite. You are right in that the Confederate leadership should have been executed. But only with blacks also being forcibly sent back to Africa. The abomination of "America" was founded by traitors. If you want to be against a division of the former 13 colonies, fine. A united America is better for Southerners than being Confederate separatists with slavery. However, not sending blacks back to Africa was far and away the greatest self inflicted mistake and tragedy in the history of the United States. Blacks and the whites who are chalet to their wickedness are the antithesis of civility, and prosperity and all this is decent and good.
Slavery is wrong, but in only in that is takes away from the prosperity of the poorer members of ones own people, which is exactly what the garbage slave owners of the South wanted to perpetuate at the cost of poorer whites.
you know it was actually rich southern planters that came up with the idea of liberia, not lincoln as people claim, actually the richest slave owner in the south was pro union. Also the compromise of 1850 was written by southern secessionist planters that wanted to preserve the union even thought the north had stolen california from them
If your ancestors were Unionists or even Union soldiers, you better hope there is no afterlife because if there is then truly you have caused then great shame by taking the entire reason they fought the war and flushing it down the toilet. If Abraham Lincoln saw that his victory would lead to unamerican trash such as yourself bitching and whining about a War the side you support won, he would’ve called it quits and told Jeff Davis they were free to leave. Ancestors cry
The radical republicans wanted exactly what you posted but fortunately for everyone they weren't an actual majority.
What is boils down to is that the war was not as popular in the North as it's often portrayed, and there was lots of discontent in places like New York and the Midwest over the duration and man power requirements of the war. Not only that but you had several border states that were still on the fence. There was a very real fear that harsh and punitive measures against the South would not end the war but would just turn it from a conventional, limited war into an unconventional, generational guerilla war from which the North would be forever pouring endless amounts of money and men into policing a perpetually pissed off South.
The South was already economically and socially completely destroyed by this point, and the Union figured that cutting their losses and offering a general amnesty and getting whatever legislative concessions they wanted was preferable to a forever war that was already beginning to tear the fabric of the Union.
Also it simply wasn't numerically feasible anyway. Aside from the fact that there really wasn't any way to prove who actually was or wasn't a "rebel" (the CSA burned most of their documents and to this day, Sons of Confederate Veterans uses family records for the most part), there were millions of white Southern Men and only around 500k or so Union troops policing the South. If you just started hanging every white Southern male who supported secession, those guys would have seen the writing on the wall, and suddenly you're fighting several million pissed off guerillas in a rugged and heavily forested environment. The Union was already war weary and people were already pissed at how much the Government was taxing them to continue the war as it was. No one saw the South as worth that much effort.
except then you'd have a guerilla war in the South worse than what happened in the Reconstruction period, and that at the time was the most valuable agricultural land in the USA
Everyone was fucking tired of war at that point.
Missouri was a divided state and Jeff City barely had any power over the state and was quickly overthrown.
