re: #278 HappyWarrior

i’m fine with “slave owner bashing”. I don’t want the roads and memorials that my tax dollars fund being named after assholes who started a Civil War because they were butthurt that an opponent of slavery got elected.

We don’t give participation trophies to insurrectionists who fought to preserve the institution of slavery *and lost*.

If you’re butthurt because statues to goddamned Confederates who fought to preserve institution of slavery and took up arms against the Union, you’re not a patriot - you’re siding with the enemies of the United States of America. You are supporting those who took up arms with the enemies.
