It is really remarkable that Americans are now further from achieving Lincoln's dream of national unity than they were in 1890; there are people in this thread right now who feel more animosity towards the Confederacy than did many of the men who actually fought against it.
That most of you seem to view the civil war as 'WWII on American soil' is an indictment of the American educational system.
I don't know why modern leftists seem to think that all of the men who actually fought the Confederates and the Nazis would be on their side today.
If George S. Patton were alive today, he would almost certainly have a higher opinion of Trump and the alt-right than the modern left. Patton does not strike me as someone who would be marching in BLM rallies, fighting for ''LGBT rights'', preaching about ''white privilege'', etc. if he were alive today.
It was mostly white, working class Christian men (who comprise most of the Republican base today) that defeated the Confederates and the Nazis. I don't even think most of the men who served in the Red Army would be SJWs today. Just look at how right-wing Russia is nowadays.
