Solid Sonic 06/07/20 1:38:55 PM #51:	Because I remembered my American history wrong, okay? I had this recollection that Johnson's presidency was full of harsh anti-South rhetoric that resulted in an extremely slow climb back up for Confederate states and seeded bitterness in the citizens of that part of the country that Lincoln was trying to avoid before he was killed. Things like carpetbagging were going unchecked and leaving people who just wanted to rebuild their lives with a strong sense of betrayal. When any regime falls I imagine there would be holdovers who want to try to fight for the fallen empire (that's who the Knights of the Golden Circle were) but I was under the impression that Lincoln was accounting for that and would try to work against it had he been able to remain president in the post-war era. --- "It feels like I'm always wrong."

Solid Sonic 06/07/20 1:44:43 PM #54:	Would you stop fucking insulting me? I'm trying to concede gracefully by explaining where I came from and how I accept that I'm wrong.

Things like carpetbagging were going unchecked and leaving people who just wanted to rebuild their lives with a strong sense of betrayal.

Most of them were put up alongside Jim Crow laws, the founding of the NAACP, the 2nd resurgence of the KKK, & the Civil Rights movement.
