Abraham Lincoln gave mass amnesty to Confederates. Apparently he thought tracking & imprisoning every soldier was impractical. 🤷♀️ In the context of today, people think this set the tone for people to idolize the Confederacy, but they ignore that amnesty was a condition of the Confederacy's surrender.

Do you think White Southerners when they lost the Confederacy had even one iota of empathy for Black people? No they didn't and they don't and they never will and that is one of the major tragedies of this country – total lack of empathy decency fairness
Empathy in America has been dying for 60 years, at least.

No, it's not as neat - in the Civil War, the ratio of black soldiers was about 100% Union, 0% Confederacy, not the 69-31 split of 1776. And yet, that one side had 69% and the other 31% should make it clear which side was overall the side of freedom.

Being Republican is a cultural thing going back to the Civil War ..people's Relatives fought for the Confederacy and still do by voting Republican..it's not hard to understand..but it is up to the rest of us to stop them.

drag acts. At college he was a member of a fraternity that celebrated the confederacy and prominently displayed its symbols and flags - and he (still) supports the Confederacy. Lee can now add "dispenser of cruel and unusual punishment" to his foul CV. Naturally he's a 'good Christian'.

There's not a single cabinet member that would sign on to the 25th amendment. This Confederacy of Dunces is empowered because he's so addled. They can run their agenda without him just as long as they kiss his ring.

The confederate constitution also has some wild examples of this. The states that seceded and joined the confederacy basically gave up their own states rights to make decisions about slavery, in exchange for a guarantee that slavery would be safe from government interference no matter what.

The biggest violent insurrection in American history was the confederacy which had the objective of expanding slavery. Not only did it fail but it resulted in emancipation and the devastation of the south for generations while the north grew wealthier and more prosperous during the war.
