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.

That's OP's point. They disagree with the treatment the traitors received after the war.
OP is saying they should have been executed summarily. I am saying the reconciliation strategy Lincoln used was the right one even if they deserved death.
Summarily!? No, of course not!
After treason trials.
Presumably, with a non-corrupted panel of judges presiding. 🤌🏼
"It's a jury trial!"
"Oh, good!"
[12 Black jurors walk in and sit down]
"Oh, fuck"
That also would be acceptable.
Yes, we are in agreement.
My confusion. I'm glad we are in agreement.
