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

I suppose I can see those definitions.

I would still not call slavery terrorism, if only because terrorism is not slavery. Terrorism is a tool used by people who promote slavery.

I suppose I would say, more clearly than the meme, that American slavery was an enterprise which inherently involved systemic terrorism.

But I didn't make the meme myself, and even I did, I would probably find that too wordy to clarify anyway, and just have said something close to the meme as-is. :p

I'll buy that for a dollar.
