Your disdain is praise for the rational man. In fact, though I'm no specialist in Civil War history, I've read a shit-ton of U.S. history and am well-read compared to pretty much everybody I ever meet, and I can't help but notice that you included no citations for your completely ignorant apologia. Southerners, with their fucking "pride and honor" refrain, rewriting history so they don't have to admit that a lot of people died because some of them didn't want to give up slaving.

Also, it's "unresearched," which is especially hilarious not just because it's not true, but because you called me a "dipshit" and can't even fucking spell all the words in a seven-word sentence correctly.

I typed it quickly because I don’t respect you.

LOL. You really are a closeted leftist. Your pisspoor spelling WHILE you're calling ME a "dipshit" is somehow MY fault...

Can't you at least appreciate the irony of your own self-pwn?

I take full responsibility for not respecting you enough to type accurately on my first whack.

Yeah, that's not what you said, and nobody cares about your respect, Nancy.

Is that supposed to be your history reference? An article on Medium? There aren't enough LOLz in the world.

Here; it's more nuanced than most assessments, and it isn't the selective reading of a guy whose main purpose in writing was to argue that Trump is an illiterate dumbass who shouldn't impose any tariffs:

HW Brands is an extremely prolific historical biographer. YOU WOULD KNOW THAT IF YOU EVER READ ANY HISTORY

I'm a prolific shitter; that doesn't mean my output is worth consuming. Cardi B records lots of songs, etc, etc. I know who Brands is; he's not the goods.
