    There also still Americans, which is what makes civil wars more complicated.

      No, they quite literally left the Union, which makes them not Americans. They viewed black people as property and were willing to go to war to maintain that status quo. Personally, I wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire.

        The union said they weren’t allowed to leave and won, so technically they didn’t leave. That’s what makes civil wars difficult, you have to find a way to live with the losing side after.

          The law says you’re not allowed to murder. So if you kill someone and are arrested for murder, did you technically not murder anyone?

          Wrong. We should have eradicated them when we had the best chance. Imagine a world where we got rid of all those people. 🥰
