Only the Dakota experienced that level of mass execution. Mankato, 1862.

Exactly. History of Reconstruction as taught in school continues to downplay this.

Did you say you have FOLLOWERS? You're a pompous nobody.

Okay, you're right. I like the 1st/27th Tennesee Vol. Infantry flag myself.

Jefferson Davis was their brother-in-law.

You are a mindless alpha dog defending your pissing ground, judging from how your droppings are all over this site. Is there any issue other than slavery the southern states were truly interested in? Never ever heard of your instructor, but I didn't attend college. You aren't in touch with current ideas regarding…

You're obviously a pop culture savant.

The intention of the seceded states was not necessarily to form a new nation.The southern states wanted to maintain a system of exploitation of labor, and they achieved their objective, though lives, and money were lost on all sides. Oh, and the war didn't end with Lee's surrender.

I wouldn't mind.

Is there any such place? Tom Hayden urges a non-violent termination of the white race.
Zappa said I'm not black, but there are a lot of times I wish I could say I'm not white."

Well, okay. It was a white rectangular flag with a little square rebel flag on the corner. It was thought to look like a white flag, so it was replaced by a similar flag that had a red stripe down one side. I don't know what it was called. The stained banner?

This "rolling back" commenced almost at the inception of reconstruction. The Confederate constitution was not exactly the center of policy—certainly not what white southerners were fighting for. Witness the lynching of African Americans in northern cities: the racist ideology the south fought for came to dominate…

Taylor's son Richard was a Confederate general.

The Stars and Bars flag was used early in the War, but was thought to bear too much resemblance to the US flag, and replaced by various other flags, mostly with square St.Andrew's cross emblems. The crappy flag is actually the Army of Tennessee battle flag. Don't get me started.

What if Groucho joined the Xmen?

What if Rome had never fallen? Or, what if instead of falling in 476, it had lasted until 1454, when the Empire's last vestige was overcome by an expansionist Muslim Empire? Imagine!

This more like it!

Don't know where you got these notions, but you're almost totally wrong. Both sides didn't stop fighting by mutual consent. Wars of the era were bloody (ever hear of the Lopez War? Almost the entire male population of Paraguay died in that one). No, the North actually defeated the South militarily. The South won by…

The South, in fact, DID win the Civil War, a fact known to any reputable scholar of 19th century American history. The southern states were able to reestablish political hegemony, reimpose a racist class system via Jim Crow laws (such a quaint name for a barbaric system), and completely destroy reconstruction through…

Imagine someone devoting time, and energy to memorizing historical events, and figures, say, of Early Medieval Europe, Byzantium, or Yorkist England.
