Been listening to Ken Burns civil war documentary recently.

They frequently have narration of letters.

Mary chestnut a southern slave holder speaks about how brutal Sherman was to the south, burning fields, tieing railroad tracks, total war, etc.

Like bitch remember that time you owned and defended owning humans and treating them like cattle?

The dissonance is insane. Fuck em all. Sherman montages and these states right to what memes will never not bring a smile to my face.
