Is Voat a fed nest?
Very possibly. Particularly in the system subs where brigading is possible. But this sub is an oasis from it. Their downvotes will have no effect on your CCP here.
We reserve the right to ban anyone we deem to be disruptive without notice.
If you are observed calling another poster Jewish on Voat you will be banned in this sub.

As a Wisconsinite, we're sorry but some of us did Riot against the Draft

My German ancestors from Southwestern Pennsylvania fought for the Union. We are very proud of the fact, because we were doing our service to the federal government. We are upset though that Lincoln betrayed us in this regard and emancipated the slaves.

Germans made up about 10% of Union ranks with immigrants generally making up a little over 23%.
It's notable that the US military outnumbered the Confederate forces about 2-1. Southerners have occasionally also said the North invaded America. As in a foreign invasion. A lot of these German soldiers could not speak English.
