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

The axe one at least is pretty well-sourced. A ton of people saw it and they all remember it the same way, because he did it quite a few times. Some of the others have definitely grown in the telling. The one about the wrestling match has about 30 different mutually inconsistent versions, I just included it because there's probably some kind of grain of truth in there, and it's fun.
