I thought you MAGA guys claimed to support winners?

Seems contradictory that you’d celebrate some of the biggest losers in history if that’s the case

The north attacked the south. The south had that right per the constitution to succeed. Lincoln was a tyrant. He would have a Bernie Sanders or kamala type politician if we're alive today. It's sad that so many southern are so ignorant of southern history. All they can do is cry Jim crow and slavery.

There were both pro-union and southern in east Tennessee. I'm sure a globalist, socialist like you would proclaim the union side

One of my great-great uncles, from Tellico Plains, served in both armies. CSA until captured in 1863, then joined the Union Army in Cleveland, TN the same year.

I am also descended from the Fletcher family of Irwin County, Georgia. A genealogical book I have shows what a horrible effect the war had on the generation born and came of age during the conflict. Males were decimated.
