The reason the southern states left was that a candidate with open abolitionist sympathies earned a clean majority in the electoral college despite being on the ballot in exactly zero of their states. The 1860 election was a 4-way race with two parallel campaigns in the slave states and free states.

It’s true that the Union didn’t start fighting with the intention of freeing slaves. However, it turns out that abolitionism served dual purposes: not only was it good PR in the international English-speaking press but it also ensured the rebels couldn’t build up their wealth to pull that stunt a second time. Excellent way to dunk on them (and cause good in the process).

Is this what they mean when they protest teaching CRT to our fillies about the War of Northern Aggression? Why did the Crystal Empire get involved in the first place?

This is a red flag, I like the design, it’s beautiful :3

My Little Pony lasted longer than your “country” did. Start a war to protect slavery, get your face beat into the ground so hard that 200 years later you’re still a sore loser about it.

Neighbraham sure did have a weird understanding of “Union”.

Neighbraham Lincoln was a warmonger

Twist alert: this is actually the flag of the region Ponyville is located in and she doesn’t know anything about how the United States use it.

Flag of heros :)

Imagine if Shermane knew time travel spells and recruited Curtis LeMare to help finish the job.

The south will never rise again.

She took that flag as a trophy from a battle under Shermare. A lot of traitor blood had been shed that day.

The underdog is always way more charismatic.

Its amazing how much pride people can get from a flag for the losing team

Applejack has a great deal of pride in her family and culture :)

She’s showing her appreciation for the car from The Dukes Of Hazzard, what’s the issue here?

Will be very sad to see her OD on fentanyl in two years. Such is the way of those people.
