They've had 160 years to get over it.

As opposed to tens of thousands of Irish who escaped famine and war and survived a journey across the Atlantic, only to be handed a gun and sent to their deaths to subjugate a part of a country that wanted to be independent? The Union army didn't fight to free slaves. They fought for the centralization of the American government.
