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.
Follow all Piefed.social rules
OTHER COMMS IN THE HISTORYVERSE:
Blows my mind every time. A rhetoric teacher from Maine as the hero of the Civil War.
Honestly, as far as "Mass call-up to defend the nation" goes, "rhetoric professor" goes hard as an officer candidate. Morale is half the battle, and they're already used to herding unruly young men!
I don't think I've ever met an English teacher that I would follow into battle.
