I don’t feel bad at all for what happened to the Indians. They fricked around, they found out.

Lincoln was a tyrant. The civil war wasn't about a moral fight over blacks.

Patton was right

The only reason Japan didn’t try to invade the west coast was they saw the large number of hunting licenses distributed. They knew it would be a death sentence.

The Deep State has always existed and puts people they can blackmail and easily control into high government office. It wasn’t until the Internet age matured that independent people finally had the tools to expose these candidates. It’s why some areas struggle to put a candidate on a ballot that isn’t immediately exposed.
Not sure if this is a hot take, conspiracy or fact.

The Civil War was actually the second Revolutionary War.

The US should have joined the UK and what’s left of Germany to steamroll the Soviets after WW2, starting with atomic bombing Moscow even though their leadership is there. The US don’t negotiate with terrorists.
No Soviets means no North Korea, no North Vietnam, no Chinese nuclear weapons because the Ruskies shared it with them, no Pakistani or Indian nuclear weapons. The world may have been too peaceful afterwards.
Hell I would go one step forward and ignored the Brits and just joined Germany to take the Soviets out. The Soviets only stood a chance because of US backing during the entire war.

At the height of slavery, according to the census that everyone filled out ( mail was fricking exciting) only 2% of Americans owned slaves. 1-1.5% of free blacks owned slaves.

The United States had over 100 commissioned aircraft carriers by the end of WW2.

Because a big part of the original population foundation was criminals, convicts, and whores Louisiana has always been destined to be a corrupt shite hole.
But damn it it’s our corrupt shite hole.

I don't like how promises were made and consistently broken. It was a dishonorably thing for honorably men to do.
My hot take, you can't understand American History if you don't understand World History.

Texas should have been its own country. Obviously.

Which part? The part where they seem to have a monopoly on overseas customer service centers or the part where there are 1.4 billion of them in the world? The kama sutra?

It wasn’t. It was about states rights, and the southern states’ argument that they had the right to tell their residents it was ok for them to purchase and own slaves. Those slaves happened to be black.
Why do you believe Lincoln was a tyrant?

I'll add that the entire point of burning Atlanta was to tell future generations not to mess with the federal government. Their power has only grown since then, while states have gotten weaker

We didn’t join WWII to save the Jews like a lot of people think.
