Why would a college in Maine bestow such and award anyway? Last time I checked Maine is the most Yankee, least Southern state there is. Was there a Down East Confederacy that I don’t know about?
You are viewing the Civil War thru a distorted lens. You've bough off on the fairy tail about the war to free the slaves BS. That lie was promulgated to justify MR. Lincoln's unconstitutional war. Contemporary peoples, even of Maine, new better.
Aren't you supposed to be trashing Trump these days?
