It is remarkable to me that they make the comment like that dude did and not realize we did the very same thing with the “mother country” and they cant make the connection.
Then, they do not know this, that US Grant would have sided with the south IF, they would not have attacked Fort Sumter. When they did that, he opposed the south.
There are a lot of people that immigrated up here from Alabama and Miss when Grant turned them loose after capturing Vicksburg. Those boys had enough and went north looking for work and my folks gave them that work-later (after the war) sold them property so they could farm and build their own places for their families.
This guy is a known idiot. He argues that anything southern is just a racist white person. He’s a total left wing liberal. He once claimed killing all southern people is justified. He forgets his beloved north also had slaves, started the slave trade, and held slaves through the war.
