(above: good men lie dead because Abe Lincoln was an asshole. He knew very well that the southern states weren’t violating the Constitution, or any law, by seceding. No union can be “perpetual,” regardless of what the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Texas v. White)
Like World War II, the “Civil War” is constantly recalled in popular culture. It has to be. White people need to be, uh, “properly educated” about certain historical events. You can see that that “education” has been very successful already: a president (Lincoln) wages unnecessary war on his own people for 4 years and a majority of the country calls it a good thing.
