Yeah, all those Union soldiers from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Maine, etc. who had only recently "come over on the boat" from Scandinavia, Ireland, etc. - and who died gallantly in battle to defeat the Confederacy - they benefited. And their great-great-great-grandchildren should be forced to pay reparations!

Sorry to interrupt, but weren’t many Union soldiers immigrants from Germany?

There were even, or so I have heard, military units of the North in which German was spoken, and even the officers commanded their men in German.
