Yes to be honest. The leniency and amnesty with which they were treated gave legitimacy to their treasonous behavior. That false legitimacy has persisted until today, paving the way for the right-wing extremism we see flourishing in the U.S. The idiotic notion that the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia represents some kind of cultural "heritage" worth respecting can be traced directly back to the decision to collectively let these people off the hook. I would argue that leniency is at least somewhat responsible for January 6th. Eerily, we have seen the perpetrators of Jan. 6th enjoy similar leniency.

The historical documentary "Buck Breaking" actually informed me that the civil war was started by Bussy Discipline Enthusiasts

Part of it is kind of right, but the destruction of the south's economy during the civil war, the Reconstruction era as a punishment, and carpetbaggers created the perfect conditions where the confederacy was venerated and the KKK was tolerated. Over zealous morons looking for punishment, like everyone in that thread, made the south what it is. And now we have a second wave of carpetbaggetry happening with thousands fleeing the coastal states and moving south and bringing their same dumb politics that made them leave in the first place. They're turning southern cities with unique culture and history into "generic American city for liberal white women #52"

frick the confederacy and frick yo family

Shouldn’t be so hard to comprehend. I have ancestors who I found out fought for the confederacy and died. My immediate reaction was β€œok. They deserved to lose”. My life isn’t damaged one bit by not celebrating people generations ago. Heritage is no excuse for this bulltnsit. Frick the confeds.

I think for any normal person their reaction would be that they'd find the war unfortunate or something. It's pretty funny how the average redditor has more sympathy for middle eastern terrorists than their own ancestors in this scenario. Somehow their brains shut off because the subject is the confederacy.

Also lots of talk about insurrection and treason in that thread. There's just something about when confederates and nazis enter the discussion where these people always pretend to be patriotic warhawks.
