      No, it is a response to make the world a better place. By allowing slaver officers to live, despite what our laws said, we allowed them to spin the lost cause narrative and take away all the hard won rights that freedmen achieved. We still suffer as a society from that horrible oversight. Think about how things would be different if black people had political and economic rights for the past 150 years.

      The same can be said about allowing nazi and Japanese war criminals to live. In many instances, they also took back power and continued to do damage to our world.

      They should have all died like Mussolini.

          I’d say the officers and politicians. Nazi officers and politicians are bad people. Slaver officers and politicians are evil people. Those power structures needed to be destroyed and the alive people propagated evil systems. You are the one doing the whole slippery slope bullshit.

          Without the officer class of the confederates we wouldn’t have had the KKK or Jim Crow. The lands that the enslaved folk worked should have been given to the people who worked the lands.
