The Union took the worst possible course with “reconstruction”: it placated and allowed the rot to persist, grow and self-govern again while having equal voice so quickly to states that didn’t attempt to secede. The north should have either just let the south secede, or finished the job with a full-scale cultural annihilation that would have taken decades. We have been fighting the civil war since 1860, the civil rights movement a major battle but have now ceded government power to a group who wants to finally kill the union and get revenge on those terrible folks who took away their slave labor.
Reconstruction should have been a New Deal/Marshall Plan level reimagining of a new country. Instead not only did we let things rot and fester while pretending much was solved, but any sort of reparations would make more sense while the actual last generation victims were alive.
Every Confederate officer and member of government, or highly decorated enlisted needed to be hanged. Every single one.
CSA culture was just slavery. It was all slavery, the same way the Zionists today are all genocide. There’s nothing else. The white confederates needed to be exterminated, and we’re still suffering from having not.
I know we won’t, but I would like us to learn a lesson from history a single fucking time. Just one fucking time.

It’s never too late to go after the recipients of stolen money…
