The Union was far too forgiving of the South after the war & allowed these people to remain in power.

It was forewarned then that being too magnanimous with the CSA traitors would give birth to this Neo Confederate nonsense.

"Their social power must be destroyed. When traitors become numerous enough treason becomes respectable".


The proud monuments to these traitors confirms this quote.
