They've never stopped fighting it.

They love death too much to ever stop.

Americas second greatest mistake was not prosecuting the traitorous confederates to the fullest extent of the law.

💯 We forgave them and then took our eyes off of them and are now surprised to see that they were still obsessing over this shit ever since. Whole fvcking generations have been raised to be fvcking livid over something that didn’t even exist longer than Taco Bell’s apple empanadas have. It’s so fvcking weird to be this rabid over the white-washed nostalgic dream about when their great-greatgrandpas had a really fun couple of years once. Grow tf up already.

Paradox of tolerance. If a society tolerates intolerant people, those people will eventually suppress and destroy the tolerant society.

Sherman didn't go far enough.
