Look at the modern situation with racial issues, and tell me a large part of the black community didn't see it as a war, one that isn't actually over. The corpo's and politico's who inflame it would not have a fire to begin with if not for what happened during Reconstruction. I thought the...

You forget lynchings were a thing? Saying it was just 'abuse' in the South during reconstruction is really underselling what happened for the black community down there. Some of the first 'gun laws' were used to disarm newly free slaves, which enabled the Klans shit. Some times new paradiagms...

People seem to forget we did hold trials for a lot of Japanese officers, or at least the ones who didn't kill themselves. Yes, we didn't go hard on Unit 731 as much as we should have, and the Emperor...that was complicated, because it was only his power that made the surrender possible at all...

At that point the war was over and the focus of the 'Union' politicians was elsewhere (namely the Indian Wars and the West). A lot of them didn't really seem to care about the newly freed slaves being abused by thier former masters, because they weren't interested in putting in the effort to...

Did you just fucking say we shouldn't have held the Nuremberg trails?! Holy shit, just when I thought you could get any scummier.

The people who took the surrender didn't know about Jim Crow laws or the Klan that would form; we do. Just because generals and officers were able to reconcile doesn't change the horrors the the CSA's legacy would inflict on the nation for decades to come, or how disgusting the CSA's goals...

No, the reasons for the Cvil War were very simple; people pretend it's complex to try to make the Confederacy 'less bad'. The South wanted to keep slavery going, and growing, in the new states that were being added in the West, because the economy and lifestyle of the plantation class depended...

I did a book report on the actual Valkyrie plot in middle school, long before Cruise's movie came out, so yes I know very well what happened there. Are you trying to compare the CSA to the Valkyrie plotters, or the CSA to the Nazi's, or the Valkyrie plotters to people like Sam Houston who...

That this thread is even a thing is disgusting, and really only exists because some idiots are obsessed with try to make the CSA into something it honorable and respectable, out of backlash against current events. The only good about the Confederacy is that they lost, and stand as an abject...
