Judged by today's standards then everyone back then falls short.
Because if the put yellow armbands on the people they hated, their intentions might become a bit too obvious.
"...Hold off a few weeks.
I'm going to Montreal in October..."
Wow, truly the world is a better place for having removed an old, rusty-looking plaque by which one whole person was bothered.
Many freed slaves assumed the Yankees were a liberating army and approached them begging for food and assistance. During the march to the sea, this became a bigger and bigger problem as Sherman penetrated deeper into the South. He was known to enact a rule that any negroe had to keep a minimum distance of 2 miles from his army.
Judged by today’s standards, all of human history must be wiped out of memory.
The little snit should look in his own back yard to find something to be offended by. CANADA honors it’s own rebels! There are statues and memorials to LOUIS RIEL and the Metis rebels in several places.

The issue of slavery was an afterthought to the civil war.
Interesting contrast between the people who forced the yellow armbands and the way the old South treated its Jewish citizens (sending some of them to the U.S. Senate at a time when that would not have been acceptable in the less tolerant North.)
On the whole question of forced conformity:
I did not know that. Thanks for informing me of this.
As a citizen of Canada, born and raised, I have mixed feelings on your comment. If Montréal is able to get a new ‘Expos’ MLB franchise, then “Non Monsieur!”
Riel is considered a hero now among the French and Natives, and in the Province of MB.
No problem...years of being a history buff, and all that knowledge is finally becoming useful! Lol
Private company, private decision.
None of our business.
“The issue of slavery was an afterthought to the civil war.”
That is not what Alexander Stephens said.
That is not what that source documents claim.
Self-hating White boy strikes again. The Marxists in his schools did their job very well
Looks like he should still be in 10th. grade...
