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.

disagree entirely. they terrorised their own slaves to prevent uprising, and also, to make the gulf stark - no humanizing the 'property' - and how do you do that? random acts of violence to keep 'em separated and fearful.
Slavery IS terrorism. Just not the international terrorism you're used to.
Slavery uses terrorism, as I mentioned, yes. But the only thing it's trying to accomplish is itself.
Terrorism is an effort to make someone else do something.
