Where we meme (joking in tone and detail, serious in sentiment) about General Sherman, the Civil War, and how the secesh traitors had it coming.

RULES

  1. No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.

  2. No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

  3. Follow all Piefed.social rules

Explanation: Dixie is a pre-Civil War Southern tune. During the US Civil War, it became popular as an unofficial anthem of the pro-slavery Confederacy, while the anti-Confederacy North dropped a fire variant for liberating the South from anti-democratic slaver shitheads.

If you hum Dixie, and it is a good tune, be careful that no one mistakes you for the wrong kind of Dixie enjoyer!

As Abraham Lincoln himself said, slightly tongue-in-cheek, at the conclusion of the war...

I have always thought `Dixie’ one of the best tunes I have ever heard. Our adversaries over the way attempted to appropriate it, but I insisted yesterday that we fairly captured it. I presented the question to the Attorney General, and he gave it as his legal opinion that it is our lawful prize.
