We should’ve fucking HAMMERED the American South after the Civil War ended. It would’ve done this country so much good.

Generals, governors, high ups; all should have been tried and executed upon conviction and then go after slave owners and supporters. Our country was waaaay too soft on ignorance and hate afterwards.
