(849 posts)What punishment needs to be meted out to the states that seceded from the union in 1861 that would make the current spate of 'off with their heads' crowd happy ?
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas, Arkansas, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia according to detractors have not been punished enough in their eyes. Of course this was over 150 years ago and no living person was around back then, but that doesn't dim the clarion call for what ? Reparations, revenge ?? None of the offenders are alive.
Maybe they could kick these 11 states out of the 'United' States. But wait, That's already been done 154 years ago in reverse when the 11 states left the union.
So what to do to make these states residents atone for their sins and actions ? But wait, the current residents had nothing to do with any of it. So who to punish ?
Take their flags away, their memorials away, their memories away, It's the murican way.
Sheeeeesh ! Ridiculous !!
