Half the people that died were defending slavery. And the death toll doesn’t even begin to take in 100 years of Jim Crow laws, etc.

i was making his point the other day on here. an enormous number of people died over the issue. it hardly matters that half of them were defending the institution of slavery. nor does it matter that Sherman came through and cut the heart out of the confederacy. we’re not going to drop 50k in the laps of all black people in this country. we aren’t dropping 50k in the laps of all native americans. reparations is a just a cheap, feel- good slogan that will be an albatross around the neck of any Democratic politician that makes it part of his or her platform.
