Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.

i mean she is right. the confederacy won the peace because johnson was a sympathetic racist(even for the time) dipshit who basicaly bent over backwards for them. grant did better but then hays let them do whatever to keep the peace and to win a contested election. but my guess is she means "racists never went away" . personally i'll give the show a shot because i need a new thing to watch after thrones ends and westworld is year out.

de-baathification failed because it made tens of thousands of Iraqi soldiers of every rank, along with almost the entirety of the iraqi civil service, unemployed overnight, simultaneous with American forces leaving almost all the Iraqi government arsenals unguarded

hanging every officer above lieutenant and every planter head of household, and dividing their land and capital among their former dirt farmer serfs and liberated slaves, would've been a completely different project, undertaken with an army totally different in both structure and purpose from the American invasion force in gulf war 2

you are right that the Yankees lacked anything resembling the political will to undertake such a program though, above all Yankees at every strata of Union society wanted to avoid granting freed slaves sufficient liberty to actually move north into the industrial cities

if the cowards had actually killed off the master class, the South would be a magnificent place to live

Silent white light filled the world. And the righteous and unrighteous alike were consumed in that holy fire.

I think what she's saying is that in the Prime reality, the Confederacy did win the war. So now--trapped in our shadow universe--we've created a television show that presents itself as alternative fiction but actually depicts the "true" version of history. Pretty ironic.

saying the confederacy won the war is a pretty big oversimplification. sure things could have (and should have) been much worse for the planter class who lead the confederacy, but the south went from nearly equal politically to barely holding onto relevance through quirks in the senate (there would not be an elected southern president for over a century, and it'd be LBJ), its economy was relegated to a total backwater, its infrastructure was gutted and never fully recovered until probably the new deal, and even during the worst of jim crow black people were significantly better off than they were under slavery.

I don't know how we'd be as a nation if we had just executed around 120,000 of those folks (I can get on board with the traitor leadership getting a noose though).

Some of you seem to know a lot more about this than I do, let me ask a question:

Wasn't the south producing cotton/tobacco/sugar for the north? Or were they exporting it?

I figure it was similar to today. You buy a shirt at the store and just try and forget that some person in a 3rd world country is making the stuff for you.

Both. Cotton was already being dethroned as a cash crop over the course of the war though, because Indian and Egyptian cotton which was being produced by the British had been driving down global cotton prices. But the planters wouldn't quit growing cotton even while they couldn't export it because of the Union blockade, and while the South was in desperate need of foodstuffs. They wouldn't quit forcing sharecroppers to grow cotton after the war either, even though it wasn't nearly as valuable anymore.

Had the Confederacy won the war they would have created a slave empire stretching from Florida through the Caribbean into Venezuela/Colombia, Central America and probably a big chunk of Mexico.
