and killed rebel scum
This guy liked to do that too.
I read your post and I have to admit, I've made a complete 180 degree turn in my opinion of the history of the War Between the States. Thank you. You are right, the Confederates were nothing more than traitorous scum who started the war just to hold black folk down and annoy the hell out of Lincoln. I ,therefore, being about 5 generations removed from that scum, am treasonous rebel scum too. Could be worse I guess, you could have called me a Yankee. Under that same logic, with you being one generation removed German, you don't exactly have the moral highground here. At least all those thousands of loyal American patriots the Confederates killed were armed and could fight back.
