Town officials in Hope Mills, North Carolina, are fielding calls from irate residents after the town's 4th of July parade featured an antique farm tractor flying a Confederate battle flag and towing a watermelon-filled trailer with a sign reading "White History Month: Hug WTE PPL." For some reason, the callers said they thought the display might be racist. Town officials are considering instituting tighter rules on parade entry applications, possibly including a line about "no racist bullshit allowed, and don't pretend your dogwhistle bullshit isn't racist, you moron."
In their civilian lives before the Civil War, the men who would become Northern soldiers to a great extent believed the mythology propagated by Southern slaveholders and their friends in the churches--you know, listen to those happy darkies singing their spirituals as they bale up the cotton.
Then, when they "invaded" the South and saw the true, brutal face of slavery, and how it debased everyone it touched, and heard the stories of slaves who fled to them at every opportunity, they became strongly opposed to it. And at that point, if not before, the compromises everyone hoped would prevent or shorten the war became impossible, and slavery in America began to die.
But its vestiges are still with us in eastern North Carolina, apparently.

I suppose a burning cross would have been a fire hazard.
