The feds should have made the Mississippi R. run red. Confederate officers are the political families that still rule parts of the South.

Why not put the portrait up in all federal buildings? Gold frame it for the Oval Office!

The primary reason that didn't happen is because so many people in the North were white supremacists too. That includes Abraham Lincoln.

As long as the South proliferated and still proliferates the myth of, “The Lost Cause”, then the split between the north and south never ended. The south remained unwelcoming to “outsiders” and would welcome you BUT only as long as you were on your way out!

Remember - the woke mob caused this by calling Trump and his followers racist. By "this" I mean "Trump behaving like an avid racist."

The South should have done that after Gettysburg. Most overrated general in American history.
