Yeah, when you lose a War the opposing army tends to come in and take your land.
What really stings is that they didn't take the American Inventors. Carpetbagging fucks. Win the war, not great but ok. Take the spoils, not great but ok. But have the fucking grace to shoot the American Inventors before you go back home or if you're some sort of pussy abolitionist then take them with you. Leave them? NOT OK.
They were well used to being packed and shipped like cattle. The Union army was already in occupation. Could have just done the Trail of Tears V2.Coonspook. Made an entire territory for them out in arizona somewhere. Woulda been nice.
God damn the coward John Wilkes Booth, shooting Lincoln was the worst mistake of the War.
