Where we meme (joking in tone and detail, serious in sentiment) about General Sherman, the Civil War, and how the secesh traitors had it coming.
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.
Follow all Lemmy.world rules
Explanation: "Stonewall" Jackson, often considered to be one of Lee's most competent officers, was shot by his own men when returning from a recon on Union lines. He correctly identified himself to the pickets, but their commander, suspecting a ruse, ordered his troops to fire anyway, killing Jackson.
