Virginia is red, the Northern parts are never going to like Trump though
it's an entire region that's built upon "the way things always were"
dating all the way back to the Civil War
Mars
yes lol
that would be retarded
they evacuated a few times
their sessions were in DC most of the time, it was only twice they had to move North I beleive
Lee's intent was to fight a defensive war, back when that was the advantageous military tactic (pre-Franco-Prussian War)
a lot of his success was due more to the North's failures than his own grand strategies, the majority of great US generals stayed loyal
Once the economic plays didn't come to pass, and US exports were stymied, defeat was likely inevitable, even had the war entered a stalemate phase
given historical knowledge now, I do think the North would win 7-8 times out of 10
but we live for that other 25%
I mentioned this in VC a couple months ago
this is my favorite never-taught part of the civil war
where DEI lost the North a major battle
they had sappers tunnel under the Confederate army, and explode cache of tnt, creating a huge crater
but then because they wanted the headlines to be about African Americans earning a major victory, the order of battle was to have the all-African regiments charge to the top of the crater and then shoot into it
but instead they all rushed into the crater, fell into it, dragged more normal soldiers in with them
and then were decimated by Lee's army
Unit after unit charged into and around the crater, where most of the soldiers milled in confusion in the bottom of the crater. Grant considered this failed assault as "the saddest affair I have witnessed in this war.
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131
Never realized how similar crater is to my name until now. Fuck you spooky I can’t unsee
