People from the South old enough to have been taught excellent history about the War of Northern Aggression or the War of Tariffs before it became known as ‘The Civil War’ have a pretty good idea of how both sides dealt with that period. As for Germany or Japan, as targets of their aggression, we won and we didn’t occupy; we have rebuilt where we can and could over the years....name me one other country that does that.

we won and we didn’t occupy

We certainly DID occupy both Germany and Japan after WWII. We made damn sure that the Governments in place were favorable to us before we gave them even nominal control back. And we still have military bases in both countries.

Do yourself a big favor: go back and brush up on your history before you comment next time.
