Yup, boarder towns in red states are going to start stopping women as they travel through their towns to make sure they aren’t pregnant.

The Union should have scorched earthed the South and executed all of the leaders and ex-US military officers who defected to the CSA. Instead, you allowed them to live and fester like moldy spores. Now the contagion is fruiting again.
Doesn’t work. The only time scorched earth ever works is if you literally kill or displace every living person there. Otherwise, the survivors will hate you and will raise their children to hate you.
Well it sure as fuck doesn’t help if you not only fail to seriously punish rebel military leaders in any meaningful way, but also later allow people from a bunch of rebel states to erect monuments to rebel leaders and politicians, and otherwise glorify a defeated rebel government whose core reason for being was to enshrine the policy of enslaving people.
Yeah. The response to Germany and Japan post WW2 was ideal. Ban the symbols and idols of the past movement, but throw money at the population to help them rebuild.
Edit: and execute the leaders
Germany: yeah, pretty much.
Japan: …not really.
Seems to me they did that anyway.
That’s what I’m saying. The North waffled. They should have either gone full Marshall plan or full genocide. And note that I don’t think genocide was or is politically palatable.
That’s what happened when we gave traitors a free treason pass too, though. Seems to me the only choice is in how many traitors hate us.
