At times definitly and that is obviously very important. I think his larger point is that, everything does not have to be viewed through this lens........ Yes these issues are real, yes the realities of a given culture are reflected in everything that culture produces, art/entertainment are no exception, but maybe…

or ice or a glass

Or maybe he would rather just be open about it before people start attacking him for being a fanboy.... maybe get that out of the way and see if there can be any legit disscusion, clearly no.

If they went that radical though it would have stirred up to much decent among the former power holders and led to tensions and violence in a differnt way.

but no wholesale punishment of regual citizsens, they where given an opprotunity to reestablish their economy and lives (at least the free part) a large part of why it worked out. That whole fuck everyone over thing was tried in WWI, didnt exactly workout.

This exactly, they think it took a long time to get through Jim Crow and to the Great Society. My God if they went the harsh rt there might still be a guerilla resistance, nevermind the fact that America would have been to divided to become a super power by 1918

100%... Reconstruction would have lasted well into the 20th century (leaving us unprepared to become a world power in 1918), Jim Crow is probably still alive in well in the South, if they went the punative rt,

Thats probably why they formed a Republic with democratic features rather than a true Democracy, although the distinction is all but lost.

The credit goes to Johnson, punishing them would have exdtended reconstruction well into the 20th century (who knows how this plays out in WWI and America becoming a super power, unlikely), led to contiued resistance, possibly to this day, and Jim Crow would still be alive and well

It definitly could not be along political lines, regional and economic similarties possibly.

Did you forget about the tech growth in the sun belt? Norther states have a good bit of dead weight right through the middle of the country... the economy functions because each area makes up for another shortfall so i agree with your point, just for differnt reasons.

Is that a joke? So Union troops would have to occpuy the south for God knows how long and face an open guerilla rebellion for years and years after? It took at least a century as is to get past Jim Crown and The Great Society, with a somewhat appeased South... we would still be in fucking reconstruction if he took…

Lego games..... my girl loved em

Whoa angry much?? You go girl.... I didnt say anything about being slaves I was simply pointing out there’s a distinct difference between the irish who where oppressed, slavery is not the only form of oppression, and the irish who allegedly raped your ancestors. wich was kind of part of your point since you know you…

Your aware there is a huge differnce between Irish Catholics and the Protestant Irish/Scots-Irish. The first are the ones with a long history of being oppressed, the latter the ones doing the oppressing and giving slaves their names

Actually it is not since they have a close relationship with the Seminole tribe, who approve of the schools use of their name and imagery............ and no I’m not FSUa fanboy, fuck them. Go Eagles!
