Further, the South was actually our brothers.
It was a terrible war. Lincoln tried to mend things as best he could in the short time he had before he was killed.
The idea was to treat the South with a modicum of respect, so things could mend.
Now, over 150 years later, some bright (not really) people want to punish the South more.
This people make me think we should bring back whipping.
This is asinine.
For me, it’s okay for the South to revere their heroes.
To show black people to "know their place"?
No.
To show that 50 years after a Civil War, that we are all AMERICANS after all.
End of story.
