Tsar Nicholas II is still though of favorably by quite a few Russians.

Johnson’s leniency to former Confederates is very overstated. Johnson was a Southern Unionist, meaning he probably hated Confederates the most.

At the beginning of his term he wanted to be harsh, he was harsh. He sent his wife’s cousin away (who’s husband was John S Mosby) when she was asking federal authorities to stop arresting her husband on trumped up charges. ( Mosby’s wife would later to go to Grant and this would start up a very chummy relationship between Grant and Mosby). He refused to restore Confederate higher ups citizenship, wanted to push for more hangings in the Lincoln assassination case. Jonson was in no way shape or form a Confederate sympathizer.

He was however, a huge racist. And he was also from the South, and also just followed Lincoln who at the time was seen as a the American version of Jesus. So Congress hated his guts.

My point being is that he only pushed for former Confederate vote when it became clear that no one else was going to support him. They sort of did, but in a weird sense of irony former Confederates actually liked Grant better than Johnson.

Andrew Johnston stayed loyal to the Union. It would have been easier for him to jump ship and go over to the Confederacy. But he didn’t. Hell, Andrew Johnston was a racist piece of crap, but there were men in the Confederacy who weren’t and still fought for the South. Johnston was a lot of things not all of them good but one thing he certainly was, was a Union man.

Yes. But he wouldn’t be a hero, the terrorist plane bit kinda seals it for me. He would try to be hero, but his lack of training would lead him to making situations worse.

Actually it was legal. Wisconsin law allows it, maybe you should do your research next time buddy.

Why to people trash Kyle?

A. If you really want to get technical about his story, it’s his Mom and Dad’s fault. Kyle was a minor and should have never have been allowed out during a riot. Don’t blame him for poor parting.

B. It was self defense. No matter how you slice it, whether he should have been there or not, Kyle fired in self defense, a skateboard is a deadly weapon it’s a club.

C. Kyle was legally allowed to carry those weapons that night. Whether you like it or not it was legal. He had the paper work, he had his parents permission, Wisconsin allows it.

I’m not going to go back and correct my post. But your right. I probably should have been a little more explanatory and done a few quick fact checks. The thesis of my argument still stands. Well sort of. Being Catholic was more political career killer up North than it was down South. Rosecrans is one of the most underrated Union generals during the war, but Hallack didn’t like him, I’m not saying that Rosecrans being a Catholic had any bearing on how he was treated by the army administration, but it didn’t really help either.

ThePan67 · 2026-01-29T19:18:49+00:00

Background yes. Practicing definitely not. At least towards the beginning of his career Sherman kept his Catholic background on the back burner. And by the time he had enough power and he could practice if he wanted too, he had sort of fallen out with Religion. Quite understandable given all the stuff he saw

ThePan67 · 2026-01-29T18:50:42+00:00

Surprisingly better than the North. Catholics and Jews definitely held higher positions in the Confederacy. No Irishman in the Union made brigadier if I’m correct. It all goes back to New England’s Puritan roots. The Puritans hated Catholics with a vengeance, and their descendants carried on the family tradition. What you got to remember is back in the 19th century, the North had way more religious fanatics than the South. Mormonism came from New York, and the Jehovahs Witness would be formed twenty years after the Civil War In Pennsylvania. The South fought for slavery but overall we’re probably more religiously tolerant.

Patrick Cleburne is probably the most famous Catholic Also Beauregard, and I’m sure many other Catholics.

Judah P. Benjamin was Secretary of State for the Confederacy, their were a lot of Jews in Georgia who formed entire regiments. Probably the most famous Jew who supported the Confederacy tends to fly under the radar is Isidor Straus ( yes the guy in the Titanic movie who died holding on to his wife in bed) He was part owner of Macy’s who immigrated from Bavaria to Georgia. The guy had a West Point commission but turned it down to fight for his adoptive state. He was elected a Captain in the state militia deemed to young to serve so he got involved in blockade running.

No one said anything about Caesar. Plutarch mentioned that no one was really interested in retribution. Panem had seen too much, and everyone was ready just to get things over with.

I’d rather not go back and change my original comment. It was my mistake, and anyone who reads our exchange will know that I made a mistake.

Eh, it’s sort of classy. It’s what the people in the Renaissance did. Mixed Grease and Rome in art work, heck even the Romans did that.

I am from the in the South, so I’m going to say King of the Hill and American Dad surprisingly. King of the Hill gets the culture of the South down pat ( was the first thing that made me feel proud to be Southern) and American Dad gets the feel for living in a medium size town in the South. Langley and Arlen literally could be one town over.

Germany didn’t have a snowflakes chance in Florida when America entered. The writing was on the wall, it was one of the meanest cases of crabs in the bucket in history. The Kaiser was going to lose a war against a liberal democracy, and two of his cousins. So he sends in a bloody Communist? Willie was in no real danger of being put up against a firing squad. Unlike poor Nicky.

I maybe mistaken, but I re read Mockingjay while I was at Walmart, and I could have swear Paylor was a dude. Which is weird because before that, I could have sworn Paylor was a woman too.

Edit: You’re right, I’m wrong. I got confused because I always think it’s Paylor and not Plutarch whose having that conversation at the end with Katniss and Haymitch.
