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

  1. 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.

  2. No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

  3. Follow all Lemmy.world rules

Explanation: In the US Civil War, the secessionist Confederacy began hostilities by besieging Federal forces in Fort Sumter, and after several days, opening fire on the fort.

Yet in order to play the victim after getting their slaver asses kicked, many Confederate apologists to this day call it "The War of Northern Aggression".

Shitwits.
