That's not racism, Daniel, you fricking Klanner. It's just stating the facts.
Then, as now, the common man struggling to survive is only fodder for the rich and their wars.
More Northerners owned slaves and for longer than any regular Southern man did.
Yankees only ended slavery a few decades before it was ended in the South by the Civil War.
Additionally, regular citizen Yankee men owned slaves on small parcels of land and used them as personal assistants, helpers, and workhorses in their everyday activities. This was done on a massive scale. Just about every household had at least one slave.
A very few billionaires in the South had massive amounts of slaves and viewed normal Southern men, with just as much disgust and disdain as they did slaves. Normal folk in the South, for the most part, didn't own slaves.
That's hardly a moral high ground to plant your lsu flag in.
There were five Union states that allowed slavery, though not the slave trade, to continue. New Jersey was one of them, till 1865. The South has been demonized for far too long. And it wasn't the South that had little children and immigrants working as virtual slaves in factories.

I guess they forgot Sherman ordered cavalry raids of Confederate strongholds in areas surrounding Atlanta, Athens being one of them.

Athens should've seceded from Georgia, like Winston County seceded from Alabama

He did. And they were rebuked and split up before they reached Athens.
Like I said. He marched a lot of places. Athens wasnt one of them.

Interesting stuff. I've read that Sherman, Grant, etc. weren't widely hated by white Southerners until the early 20th century, when the Lost Cause mythos became more accepted with Birth of a Nation and things like that

Not sure how you figure this since many, if not most, of the folks in N. Louisiana have roots in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and the Carolinas. My grandfather graduated from the University of Alabama in 1888 and moved to Louisiana in the1890s. His younger brother also was a Bama grad who actually played on the first football team at Alabama, and followed him to Louisiana. Other cousins had already moved to Louisiana from Alabama. My mother’s father moved to Louisiana from Mississippi along with his two brothers. This was a common pattern both before and after the Civil War.

Well Grant certainly has never been popular in Vicksburg (or really anywhere on ether side of the river near Vicksburg). The 4th of July was barely acknowledged, and not really even celebrated in Vicksburg until the later part of the 20th century.
