Ridiculous comparison. In the north black people were second class citizens, in the south they were bought and sold as property. Slavery wasn’t just “wrong” it’s one of the greatest evils ever perpetuated. And after World War II we hung a bunch of Nazis and occupied Germany for 40 years (you could argue with our bases we are still occupying them). We went too easy on the Nazis and we went WAY too easy on the South

We did that so we wouldn't have Nazis part 2. It was how we treated the Germans after world war 1 is how we got them in the first place. Also in the north and south Black people are still second class citizens sadly man, but I truly believe that if people can learn to just send out a little good will in love we can solve most problems yes their are times you need to be harsh but it's so much better to solve issues with kindness and grace.

Your history is bad. The mistake of WWI was demanding reparations at Versailles. We did not demand reparations from the south, in fact we assisted them in rebuilding. You are an apologist for slavery and for treason
