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

  1. 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.

  2. No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

  3. Follow all Lemmy.world rules

The reason Texas seceded from Mexico is because Mexico abolished slavery.

Wasn't that not also the reason why Texas gave up some area to Oklahoma because above that latitude slavery was illegal?

Yes, you can still see the cutoff latitude on current state borders.
