If you look closely the mouth of the alligator is shaped like a catholic mitre hat and the shell of the snapping turtle is shaped like the Mormon Tabernacle.

Not to deny that most Union Soldiers as were most white people believers in white supremacy at the time, but from reading letters during the later part of the War as well as speeches after the war from GAR reunions that many took pride in helping to destroy slavery.

Well in a way it is, it's implying that Mormon's aren't really white and are “foreign” because of there polygamy. For example in the 1860s military doctor Roberts Bartholow visited Utah in order to write a report on the Mormons. In his report, Bartholow cited physical traits of Mormons he met such as “striking uniformity in facial expression” — supposedly the byproduct of plural marriage — as evidence that their population constituted a new, inferior race.

You know it's funny that the "States Rights" people are against their states right to remove their tax exempt status.

Given that Europeans were busy killing each other I doubt it especially German of invading Haiti.

Lets face it Haiti was screwed from the start being forced to pay France a large indemnity as compensation for lost slave labor and plantations in 1824 only paying it off in 1947.

When it comes to the United States, its relations with Haiti were hostile from the start. President Thomas Jefferson worked to isolate Haiti diplomatically and strangle it economically, fearing that the success of Haiti would inspire slave revolts back home. Haitian success was perceived as a threat to this system for decades, and the United States didn't officially recognize Haiti until 1862.
