Explanation: In the US Civil War, the First Minnesota Infantry performed an extraordinary feat of discipline and resistance against the Confederate slaver forces, far superior to the much-celebrated (amongst traitorous slaver scum) Confederate Pickett's Charge. Wiki puts the 1st Minnesota's achievement better than I could:
Don't forget the 28th Virginia battle flag they captured which to this day the MN historical society refuses to return to Vriginia. I can't remember the exact wording but last time Virginia asked for it back the MN historical society responded something along the lines of, "This flag represents Minnesotas history of fighting for its country and the freedom of all people. What part of Virginias history does it represent?"
This is the part of the story that makes me the most proud to be a Minnesotan. Not only did we capture their symbol of hate, we will not give it back no matter how many times they ask.
MN is the best state in the country and noone can convince me otherwise. Fuck the US but damn do I love our state.
It's almost as if fighting for freedom gives humans a reason to go hard.
