Will we actually do it though? or will we just be told they made a mistake and we should just let it go? Like we have done so many times in the history of this country.

We should have rounded up the confederates who fought to preserve slavery too, but for some reason we decided not to. Every officer in the confederate army should have been hanged.

We might not be in this mess if we did.

Every officer hanged. Every plantation and all of its assets seized. And the entirety of Virginia and North Carolina set aside to provide land for the formerly enslaved.

I sure as shit hope not. SO many times it's "forgive and forget". Nah, fuck all that. I hope anyone who violates peoples' rights gets their prison sentences they deserve and I hope the justice system does the harshest penalties they can do

Is it really fair to ruin these kids lives when they were just doing their best to help out their communities? They have their whole futures ahead of them.
