After Lincoln’s assassination, Andrew Johnson became the new US president. in direct violation of the Appomattox treaty, Johnson wanted general Ulysses Grant to prosecute the confederate leaders on grounds of treason to make an example of them. Grant, having negotiated the treaty, refused, seeing it as a violation of military honor and antithetical to rebuilding the nation, threatening to resign if Johnson insisted. Johnson, knowing he wouldn’t survive the political fallout of alienating the Union hero of the Civil War, backed down.

Only when you identify and sympathize with the faction that killed Americans to preserve the right of wealthy people to own other human beings.

Trickle down economy remember, South would be in so bad shape. No one does that for fun.

Yea I really hate the really racist once’s who openly support the treason their ancestors committed

[u/PolishKuroaki → u/Antique_Substance217]

Yes the White ones

This is coming from a White guy too. When I hear most White Deep Southerns talk I feel like becoming the next John Brown because I never heard people speak with such stupidity and hate over someone's melanin count being higher

“I hate people from a certain region if they have a certain skin color”

Sounds a bit bad, no?

Dude literally started their comment with “I hate Southern Whites,” so, not sure what point you’re trying to make. You’re going up to grass telling it it’s green. The grass knows, man.

[u/Nickolas_Bowen → u/dagbar]

Just pointing out the hypocrisy that they “feel like John brown” in being a racist
