Not Southerners, Yankees in the South. See yourself as an example.

To think one doesn't have the option to own another is niave.

Did this sound clever in your head? You’ve been making an arse of yourself for about 24 hours now. By all means continue. It’s a pleasure to watch.

No, not really.

Maybe in some parts of the world.

But not here, not legally.

You can come close, like Keith Raniere did with the NXIVM cult.

Sherman learned everything from Grant. His March to the Sea was inspired by the scorched earth policies Grant initiated while his army was marching toward Vicksburg.

No. It was a question.

Either it is, and you're a retard. Or it isn't, and you have an excuse unlike the other retards.

If you look at popular media in the 1860s, it was a common fear.

Grant was a fine general, Lee was just a lot better than the generals he’d faced off against in the West, and Grant found himself unable out to outmaneuver Lee. Grant was also facing a tight deadline. He had to have quick victories, Lincoln needed them to survive, and so Grant fall back in his two key advantages, manpower and firepower.

The Civil War was the first warning signs of the Yankee agenda that America still suffers from today.

Confederates wanted freedom and peace, but the Yankees blood thirst was too much. Innocent lives were lost due to Yankee arrogance.

It's a big mystery why the South brings up the rear in education.

I would not as Sherman never commanded an army in a truly major engagement. The biggest battle he participated in was Shiloh and he commanded a division in that engagement.
