A period image of Union General William Tecumseh Sherman, famous for his Civil War ending "March to the Sea" overlaid with the meemish text "Happy Confederate History Month? Clearly I didn't burn enough shit." You sea, neo-confederates, slaver apologists, and the racist governments of the former southern Confederacy have declared that April as #confederateheritagemonth to commemorate the birthdays of losers Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and all the other traitors who betrayed the United States of America to form their own failed country dedicated to the preservation and perpetuation of chattel slavery. At least, that was the claim. In actuality it was ecause they were all butthurt over the establishment of Dr. Martin Luther King day as a national holiday and couldn't stand having a black man or any black person so commemorated. April 9th 1865 was the date that Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox Courthouse, marking the functional end of the Confederacy after only four years of malignant existence. Your heritage is slavery, mine is burning your fucking house down. #ACW #americancivilwar #19thc @sonsofliberty.bluesky.social

Welcome to Absolute Chaos Wrestling, this is "Dantastic" Dan Cappelletti speaking, Nick Capper by my side in commentary. We just saw Marcela DaBast entrance, and she can't possibly be 100% after the vicious attack se suffered moments after being crowned the first ever ACW World Champion.

DDC- ...and her opponent, for this elimination match, The Human Zamboni! NC- He seems to be quite pissed with the way Johnny Basura took him out of the World Championship Tournament last week. DDC- Wouldn't you be angry as well? NC- Honestly, if you can't take a pair of brass knuckles to the face, you are not champion material! DDC- Thanks for the insight, Nick.

Cover for Bruce Catton's Terrible Swift Sword, part two of his Centennial History of the American Civil War. Pocket Cardinal edition, 1st printing, 1967.
Bruce Catton's second volume of his Centennial ACW history is very good, and covers the heyday of McClellan (post-1st Bull Run to Antietam) while also giving good coverage of everything else and noting the steadily mounting pressure on slavery. #ACW #history #book

Cover of the Diversion Books edition of Great Britain and the American Civil War by Ephraim Douglass Adams. This is just the Project Gutenberg version put into Amazon's Kindle format, and loses footnote linking in the process.
You'd think a book full of diplomatic correspondence would be dry, but this examination of British ACW diplomacy is pretty good, *if* you're ready for the weeds. From 1924, you should go get this from Project Gutenberg. #books #ACW #history

Cover of Doris Kearns Goodwin's Team of Rivals, seventeenth printing. Has a quote from Obama, a NYT bestseller endorsement, and note of Spielberg's movie, Lincoln.
Even though I still need to see Spielberg's Lincoln, I have finally gotten to reading Goodwin's Team of Rivals. Expanding her scope to the four leaders of the 1860 Republican Party is a good idea, and makes this a strong book. #ACW #books #history
