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.

MODERATORS
Texas was created for slavery.
Oklahoma has its panhandle due to slavery. It used to be part of Texas but Texas gave it up rather then give up slavery.
They had two civil wars over it. First when México outlawed it and again when the USA did.
West Virginia isn't really thought of as being the nicest of states, but they were the only state created explicitly to combat slavery - so that's pretty cool.
