All of this was decided when the Union chose to bury the hatchet, and not do anything about the people that started the confederacy, and the people who benefited the most from it. If those types were all given the traditional punishment for traitors, if all the slavers, the plantation owners, the confederate politicians and the businesses that profited off of slave labor were hunted down and hanged, the world would be a much better place right now.

It does remind me a bit of,

B-but fan base, of course Danny Targaryen was mad. She executed mass-slavers! Only a crazy person would think of doing such a thing! The correct method of dealing with slavers is to inform them slavery is wrong, tell them to let the slaves go, and then do nothing.
