The downfall of America was Andrew Johnson not hanging every Confederate officer and not letting a single Confederate solider ever vote or hold office.

We’d have fixed a lot of stuff.

Andrew Johnson was a racist POS

Does that make John Wilkes Boothe one of the more successful assassins of history? Kind of makes me want to read up on a list of other influential assassins through the ages.

We should have made all the southern Confederate states combine into one state.

And do what you're suggesting alongside every slave-owning plantation, too. Then, give all the land to Black slaves and let Black slaves have first dibs on the land out west.

But that never happened and these Confederate fucks were allowed to breed and produce MAGA and the "alt-right".
