William G. Brownlow
I have recently learned about William G. Brownlow, a man who knew how to deal with the traitors that tried to destroy this country. If only he'd dealt more harshly with those who only understood violence the South might be a better place today. Instead though we let those traitors act up and clothe themselves in the garbs of righteousness. However, traitors who fight to destroy America and defend slavery have no righteousness. So many of the problems we have today in this country stem from the coddling of Confederate traitors after the war.
No one serving in the Federal government today should proudly bear the name of traitors and yet many do, like Sen. Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, named after the traitorous president of the CSA and the traitorous general Beauregard who plotted to murder US troops and attempted to do so by bombarding Ft. Sumter and leading an army of insurgents in Virginia.
Today, people who plot to kill US troops get locked up on flimsy evidence. Back then men who proudly shot at and killed US troops got to retire to their plantations and build statues of themselves.
They complained about Northerners who migrated South and made money by working hard, but of course this was a lazy class of Southerners who didn't know how to work because they immorally forced others to do so, so we should not feel sympathy. Their descendants still benefit from the ill-gotten immoral gains and coincidentally many of those same descendants fiddled in Congress the last 20 years as our economy burned.
