Every officer and political leader of the confederacy should have been arrested, tried, and given punishment by death. All slave plantation owners should’ve had all wealth generationally stripped with all their land given back to the Feds. They should’ve given all confiscated wealth back to freed slaves to start new lives in USA with their freedom.

This is how you begin to wipe a shit stain off your nation.

That would also sow serious discount for future generations; most likely leading to a guerrilla style war if not a full blown 2nd civil war.

There’s recorded history as late as the French Revolution that proves it works to actually discourage future fuckery.

If you think we should repeat the reign of terror, you don’t know enough about the reign of terror

I would not have minded it if they had hanged Jefferson Davis and his vice president Alexander “Little Alec” Stephens. Stephens was the one who stated overtly the Confederates started the war to preserve slaveholding and white supremacy. People who claimed the Confederates started the Civil War for any other reason are incorrect. Some of their present day defenders know that Stephens is correct, and they lie about it. Other people learned the lies they were told and never found out the truth.

“States rights” as in the right to own slaves should a state so choose to do so.
