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
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.
No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.
Follow all Lemmy.world rules
I'm an audio editor / producer for a family-friendly radio drama program, and we made a story on his life a few years ago. The dude really was awesome, it was one of my favorite stories to work on.
It's not free to listen to (unless you happen to catch it on the radio when that episode happens to be airing), but you can listen to a 30-second snippet here. (It's the first story on the album, "From Slave to Hero".)
