RULES
-
No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.
-
No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

I always love when a "It's my heritage" person argues the US Civil War was about "States Rights".
I always ask, "States rights to do what? Many of the states expressed a desire to own slaves in the seceeding documents and in their states constitution."
Also ask, "my heritage" or "party of Lincoln". Which is it because it can't be both.
