      …trust me on this. Even the reconstruction and Jim Crow eras weren’t equivalent to what was going on prior to the Confederacy. I know from personal experience that the south is a shithole, but you got to give them credit where it’s due.

        I’m not trusting anyone who says “trust me.”

        I know it was bad. I said what I said.

          You don’t have to trust me. The information is available on Wikipedia. You are objectively wrong. The government imposed on the south after the civil war is substantially different than the one that would have formed if the Confederacy had won.

            I know what carpet baggers did, and I still don’t support neo-slaver, rewritten revised history narratives.
