Based black man talking about Daisy Duke now <:nervous:359009898115104770>
IE needs a black confederate at the next conference
He can be our trumpeter.
Not going to lie civil war nostalgia hits hard, I think its burned into the American Genome
The real victims of the civil war were the Irish
*America
Literally slaughtering each other
@metasophocles
True.
It's legitimately still a source of friction in the South
No more brother wars
The war should never have happened. The North should have conquered Canada and the South should have conquered Mexico. And if they couldn't live together after that, then both nations would have been plenty self-sufficient and could have separated.
It’s absolutely still legitimately a source of friction in the south
My mom continues to catch flack for marrying a New Yorker
As she should
@Wood-Ape - OK/MN And 750,000 Americans wouldn't have died.
@Axel If some black asks you for reparations, tell them 750,00 of our fathers and uncles are their reparations (not to mention all welfare spending)
And demand a "thank you"
@ophiuchus My Step dad is from Illinois, and my Mom's side of the family still holds it against both of them, some 30 years later.
The resentment is real
I just wish we would have actually done the same as Britain and had the government just purchase all slaves at market value and deport them to a nation to fascimile the origin
It was literally a brother war. Literally brothers on opposite sides of the civil war often. I have ancestors who fought for north and south I believe
@metasophocles That would have been best.
Sigh, hindsight....
@metasophocles man is that what they did
That’s seriously brilliant
God I wish that were us
The only diversity we need is for northerners and southerners to join houses <:4dchess:439923932062154782>
Yeah, Britain only paid off the debt of freeing slaves around 2014
So modern Britons ended slavery directly
Many heroes on both sides. Unnecessary conflict. A costly lesson.
Whether you live in the mountains of Arkansas or Maine, they're coming for us all.
Imagine what we could've achieved if neither side lost their great men <:sad:366743316475281408>
Chances are we wouldn't even be having this discussion right now
A really great series of stories came out of the Spanish American war, when former Confederate and Union soldiers fought side by side to build essentially the American Golden Age of Empire, led by Theodore Roosevelt, the son of southern and northern families
Dude, Imagine if
-The best parts of the North, industrialism, and calm witted resiliance...
Mixed with,
-The best of the South, rugged independence, stubborn desire to fight for every inch of their freedom
America would have been a juggernaut.
So...America from 1880 to 1914
America was a juggernaut
@missliterallywho Wait, did you suggest it, too? Because I remember Server Admin making it shortly after I said we should.
Reconstruction did suck though
@metasophocles I would contend that the culture of the south was mostly destroyed during reconstruction.
America from 1880-1914 was run almost exclusively by NorthEastern Elites.
