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.

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

Punish, and rebuild, for past slaves and the South in general. Coming in full force to liberate and then just leaving things to simmer never works... it seems to be what we do though.
There was a pretty robust plan. Unfortunately, Andrew Johnson sabotaged it, and then the 1876 Presidential election dismantled the 8 years of hard work President Grant put in and handed the South back over to white supremacists.
Its all we do. We haven't won a war since WWII. At the end of it we would have left things as they were and came home except for Stalin.
