Sherman stopped too soon. He should have gone down to Austin and headed east then north until he hit D.C. He should have left no building standing and no crops growing. Then every confederate leader should have hanged by the neck until dead.
I’m assuming that you have never lived in the rural South. The people who disproportionately suffer from the impact of the Civil War and reconstruction are poor and black.
I’m with you on hanging traitors, but a more devastated South would not have been good for anyone.
Well they let the rich white people keep power. Of course they legislated the burden onto other people, but it literally never had to be that way, it wasn’t a foregone conclusion.
