    Better if it shows a Confederate soldier?

    We will beat them again. It’s just a question of how much suffering until then, and how much we actually root out the ideology.

        Reconstruction was never truly complete and allowed for a full range of “compromises”. The attitude and feelings remained the same.

        Quite sad that 175 years later and the arguments have changed very little.

        I didn’t do shit because I wasn’t alive then. And clearly they’re not gone, because here they are. But you may note that slavery is illegal now. Not enough but not nothing. If you want to doom keep it to yourself.

            What are you trying to accomplish here? Is your message to any Americans of conscience “no, you can’t beat fascists”? Don’t be a dick and don’t be defeatist

              The message is: “try harder this time and don’t forget to follow through”.

              Edit: oh and I’d like to add “good luck”. No sarcasm.
