The South was not sufficiently punished after the war
We lost the political will to finish Reconstruction the way it should have been done.
All pro-Confederate plantation owners should have had their land seized and redistributed to former slaves (I would say that plantation owners who were loyal to the union should get to keep a share).
There should have been lifetime voter disenfranchisement of all Confederate soldiers, politicians, Confederate government officials and sympathyzers.
Military occupation of the old Confederacy for the next 30 years.
The civil rights act of 1875 should have been enforced.
Jefferson Davis should have been charged and tried for treason and hung from a sour apple tree upon his conviction.
The Freedmen's Bureau should have been funded, and used to educate former slaves.

If this DUmmie got their wish, the Democrat Party would not exist. Unfortunately, most of their proposals would violate the US Constitution.
-
The DUmpmonkiez really don't understand history.
-
DUmmie wishes the Dem Party would have been forced to disband.
If they were from any other country that we had defeated besides our own, they would have been forced to disband.

19. Lincoln's take on that, from his second inaugural address.
With Malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds.
Abraham Lincoln

36. Agreed. If only they could have used the Allied example of 1918 as a template
You should really punish and forever cripple your defeated enemy, so a tragedy of that magnitude never happens again.
pretty sure that was sarcasm.

57. Indeed, this is why Lincoln is one of the histories greatest disappointments to me.
We had those scumbag traitors by the cajones, and that fool just...let them go.
EVERY confederate officer of the rank of colonel or higher should have been hunted down, tried, and executed. All his holding seized and re-distributed to freed slaves.
ALL plantations seized, and handed over to freed slaves.
ALL civilian members of the southern parliament captured and exiled, with their property seized and re-distributed.
ALL members of the confederate army and government disenfranchised for life.
Any city that resisted, and Lincoln could unleash Sherman on them again.
A cesspool of slave-loving rascists, reconciliation with the South was a ridiculously naive idea. If Lincoln had fully committed, he could have ensured mostly African-American representatives and crushed American Apartheid; instead, he choked and failed. And now we have the mess we are in today.
That would have ensured the war going on another 30 years. In 1864 there was already a Democratic push in the north of Peace at any Price! The Democrats would have seen to country destroyed in 1864 if they would have had gotten the chance.

It was the punishment inflicted on Germany that helped lead to Hitler's rise to power.

Of course, holding up the Democrat Woodrow Wilson as an example of what is right in the world of reparations. Good God, these idiots get stupider every day.

Opposed by? :banghead: :banghead:

It's so obvious, only a (D)Ummie couldn't understand it.

Well, you wouldn't happen to have a time machine in your back pocket, would you idiot?

From the people who have done more to undermine Military success than any force ever arrayed against us, since WWII. :bird:

In any other context, you'd want him executed as a war criminal. :thatsright:

This DUmmy thread is less about rewriting history, and more about what they would do to us if they ever get the 2nd amendment overturned.

Maybe the reason they so love the muzzies is not just a common hatred for the west in principle but a shared blood lust.

I think it's both, with more of an emphasis on the former for the Left in the U.S. I'm thinking that if the 2nd Amendment were ever repealed (pretty much impossible, because you'd need two-thirds of the States to sign on), most gun owners would refuse to comply--and 35% to 40% of LEOs would refuse to enforce it. The DUmp would get their 'civil war,' and they would not like the results.

No kidding, Sherman was so good at total war that he wouldn't have made it past captain in today's Army. And that's being generous! The DUches reveal their Fascist, totalitarian side in these posts.

The Union Army came through here burning, looting, destroying everything in their path.....then setting free people who had had everything furnished to them for free, food, shelter, healthcare, clothes.....wait a minute.....Blacks need to be set free again.

What an idiot.
If he thinks there is any resentment concerning Reconstruction in the South NOW, it would have been 100 times worse if he had gotten his way.

Here's this idiot again.

1. Excellent point. I am always saying cant we please publicly shame them, but it needed to
be done back then.
There's that "shaming" again. It's their new toy. I believe they were even suggesting that if we shame ISIS, they'll behave. :mental:
Here's a response to the question of bulldozing confederate graveyards:

DUmmies are against "fat shaming", and they're against shaming single moms or people on welfare.

:banghead:
Like the others above, I'm pretty sure the DUmmie was sarcing the other idiots. Wilson, despite his numerous failings, was actually the one voice for moderation at Versailles, although of course he was completely blown off by the other great powers who wanted ruinous reparation payments, near-total dismantling of Germany's military and naval capability, and assorted land grabs.

That drew DU-blood!
Maybe there was no way to make everything good during Reconstruction, but much that was done fueled Jim Crow, lynchings and the KKK (not that the KKK was solely whites hating black or solely in the former Confederacy). Much as the Versailles Treaty fueled Hitler.

Funny how they're against shaming when it affects them, but it's okay when its some dead people. And those icky red states. God the disconnect is amazing.

No one is doing that as far as I know. DUmmies engage in shaming all the time.
