re: #18 palomino

A relatively small, but loud, number of southern dead-enders have to relive it because they can’t get over it.

The winning side doesn’t usually hold a grudge 150 years later, as they’ve moved on. Which is why there’s not much outcry for an actual Union Kicked the Confederacy’s Ass Month.

The grudge is partly fueled, IMO, by the fact that there are quite a few people who have some ancestral ties to those who fought that war, and they are looking for some way to honor those folks.

Check out all the “Daughters of the Confederacy” and “Sons of the Confederacy” that exist. Members have to show some connection to someone in the war, if I recall correctly.

There are other ways to do it.
