Such as the great history of the C.S.A. fighting a war of treason in order to violently destroy

BTW Trump knows nothing about the Civil War does he even know about Antietam and if McCellan
had followed Lee after that battle the war could have been over or that Grant had won control
of the Mississippi River all the way to New Orleans and with that and a naval blockade the south
was doomed.
