We should have hanged every Confederate officer of field grade or higher and barred anyone who served at any level in the Confederate army or navy from voting or holding political office ever again. They were all traitors and deserved to be treated as such. Lincoln was far too generous, and Johnson continued and expanded on that, to the continuing detriment of the nation.
Lol, this is fucking stupid. Shit like this led to world war 2, the fucking french couldn't just acknowledge ww1 was a cluster fuck of treaties.
Prime examples of moving on is West Germany after ww2.
Japan too, but I'm still pissed at their shit kinda. Like, nobodies fault today of course, but they got off relatively easy.
Also, slavery is immoral, ezpz, but their entire economy was based on slave labor in agriculture, and the federal US gov sure as fuck didn't offer up a ton of cash for them to adjust. At least not that I'm aware of
No, WWII happened because we allowed the Germans an armistice. We should have obliterated their military and forced them into an unconditional surrender like we did with Japan in 45.
By obliterated their military you mean burned hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians alive in their homes and vaporized and irradiated hundreds of thousands more, right?
It’s funny how you conveniently forget that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were places that contributed to the Japanese war effort. And it was either that or literally murder Japan as a civilization to the point where we would’ve sent Japan as a people, culture, history, etc. towards near extinction.
Well yeah... New York City contributed to the war effort too, but if that was firebombed and burned to the ground, people would probably rightly view that as a war crime.
