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.

As a white man who lived in Atlanta for a time, I can’t express how weirdly delighted I am that a white boy from Atlanta did this.
Maybe there is some hope.
I lived in Atlanta in the '80s, in a house on Confederate Ave. I recently tried to find that house (which was built in 1843, which was kind of cool) but I couldn't. Turns out they renamed Confederate Ave., which is also kind of cool.
The house was just a couple of blocks from Grant Park, and I always thought it was great that Atlanta had a park named after General Ulysses S Grant. Of course I'm an idiot and it was actually named after a different Grant.
"Of course, I’m an idiot... "
I don't know how many times I've said that in my life... maybe because I'm an idiot.
That's okay, Ohio has a Hitler Park. And Hitler road. Different Hitler(s) though. Dr Gay Hitler, a prominent dentist and son of George Washington Hitler.
Weird shit.
Of course Hitler Park has a disc golf course! The one I found is Martha Hitler Park -- Gay Hitler Park would be a bit too much to ask for.
