Back in thr US Civil War 160 years ago, the loyalist side was called "The Union". So people are jokingly pretending your meme was about Union victories there

Oh shit, totally missed that, thats absolutely hilariously awesome. Didn't realize I was accidentally Sherman Posting.

That was honestly what I read it as, first and only then it clicked that they were of course talking about the recent union victories
