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.
Follow all Lemmy.world rules
Explanation: As the meme implies, the Union was supported by a broad range of folk, united against anti-democratic treason and the institution of chattel slavery. This united front included, however briefly, a very... eccentric adventurer who claimed to have been honored as a prince of Afghanistan for his prior military services in the country.
