yep, every single officer needed to hang if we wanted to genuinely win that war. at least have their families banned from holding any government office, elected or otherwise, and from holding more than a certain amount of property, for a generation or two.
it was. it got us the nazis. letting a single confederate officer (who wasn’t a double agent or something) avoid the noose was such a huge mistake. not dispossessing everyone who claimed to own another human completely was also a mistake.
