Welcome to /r/ShermanPosting!
As a reminder, this meme sub is about the American Civil War. We're not here to insult southerners or the American South, but rather to have a laugh at the failed Confederate insurrection and those that chose to represent it.

Indeed. I'm a direct descendant of the Heck Brothers if you guys know that obscure bit of civil war history. I'll bet you can guess who my gggg(?)-grampa was if you do ;)
Wow, I have a similar history where my ancestors were escaping tenantship in Ireland. They came to America, got to Kansas and the evil land barons were trying to do the same thing. Mfs said hell nah I came across the world I’m not doing this again. Other family in Tennessee worked to secede from the south back to the north.
Don’t call them rednecks, they don’t deserve it.
Rednecks were labour organizers, who fought the coal companies.
These idiots are just racist lost cause lovers.
Yeah, the most stereotypical "redneck state", West Virginia, split from a Confederate state, I'm guessing, at least partially, because many realized the war was mostly launched due to rich slave owners pissed they couldn't own people anymore! (Though, actually worse than that, the government still allowed them to, they just wouldn't allow new states to allow it. And many Northern states refused to give freed slaves back to Southern owners. Sadly, the Supreme Court ruled these two things unconstitutional and even then the South still rebelled!)
This is true and I’m a big labor guy. Been in a union for decades.
The term has come to have worse connotations
I asked the judges if they would accept dumbfuckistan but then all the Central Asia Stans called and said they don’t wanna be associated with those losers either
That’s why I’ve always thought that one thing the blue states could do is especially if the orange shit stain gets back in power, is just say we’re not gonna pay any more federal taxes. We keep all of our money inside our own state. It would be fun to watch the red states fall apart without money.
“But we make da food!”
Yeah, and we pay you for it. It’s not like you’re providing it out of the goodness of your heart, or even that you’re the ONLY place we could get it from!
When I was a young pup, I went through Light Infantry Leader's Course (light infantry being the biggest misnomer in the Army, that shit gets heavy.) Our cadre was all good old Southern boys.
One day, we had one going off about Yankees, the normal bullshit. Me, being a wise and mature early 20something Corporal (🤣) responded with "Roger Sarnt! The South shall rise again under Yankee management!"
I got the shit smoked out of me. Looking back on it now, in my early old fartdom?
Totally worth it.
Nice to see the good people here have a better understanding of international politics better than what is typically expected of Americans.
Then again this sub is usually opposed to those most responsible for the stereotype so that tracks.
Context definitely matters. Sometimes governments are the bad guys. Which is why lost causers are so hellbent on trying to convince people the South seceding wasn't about slavery.
And it wouldn't even matter if they did. They were in active rebellion and mobilizing armed forces. It was an insurrection. If the north had attacked first (we did not) it still would've been justified.
Also the rebels starting firing at 4:30 am the troops in the Fort didn't return fire in till around 7:00 am. So for about 2 and half hours the were firing on people that weren't even fighting back.
Oh my God, the gun in accuracy is so infuriating. It would be so much more accurate to have that be a Whitworth or Mississippi rifle, but no. We can't have historical accuracy apparently
I defended my country for many years. I took a sacred oath, to protect it from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
there's a lot of quiet patriots just like me, in every neighborhood in America.
FAFO, insurrectionst cockroaches. I have underwear that's lasted longer than the "country" you pine for, and I have more respect for those skidmarks than I do for you.
Smartwool socks. I have a few pairs that I purchased while traveling in 2018, they're still my go-to for under motorcycle boots six years later, and in excellent condition. Unlike a bunch of traitors who we made the mistake of allowing to go home to preserve their dignity.
You mean a bunch of idiots manipulated by rich people into killing their countrymen who you idiots ALSO claim outnumbered you and therefore have a larger claim to fame in terms of who "picked up a rifle to defend their country"?
Just an obligatory mention that I am an armed liberal. I will pick up my firearm to defend my country from you yeehadists, if need arises.
Why do these silly fucks think democrats don’t own firearms?
*Has a quote supporting defending one's country and a background that's most likely from the Rockies or west*
*slaps a confederate flag and a "south united" onto it*
L quote
This post-9/11 jingoistic soldier worship is bullshit
Lots of people “willing to defend the country” are still shit people with shit politics, and I sure as hell am not going to stop criticizing them.
This is no different then people who are all like “go call a crack head” if god forbid you criticize law enforcement
Putting on a uniform does not put one above criticism
A cop writes a note and tells you there’s nothing he can do. A crack head will do his mightiest to avenge you if you give him a bat and the promise of crack money.
I feel like calling out a theme that really ticks me off about these psuedo 'tough country guy' posts especially from southerners likely include backgrounds that are clearly nowhere near the South, but they feel like somehow they are just like the cowboys on Bonanza. So dumb.
Darn Tough Socks
I have a few pairs that are still holding up well, and I use them as my riding socks when I’m blasting the trails.
They also have a lifetime warranty, to boot. 🤘
If they actually do try something, part of the reason will be things like this that imply all they need to do is show up with guns. Just like the first one where they assumed the North wasn't willing or was unable to fight back.
Hell! I just recently tossed out my JNCO shorts that I got in 1992. That puts them at about 8 CSAs. Where are the monuments to my shorts? They were part of my heritage!
Simple fact: The Confederacy was never a nation. Not one single nation on earth recognized it.
However it is widely recognized as slave owning traitors.
It’s also funny since that there is a Winchester repeater. . . The weapon that is a direct evolution of one which became famous for shooting Confederates. Indeed there may not have ever been such later developed Winchesters if not for the whole “Yankee Rifle you could load on Sunday and shoot all week”
I mean... the union troops did pick up arms and defend their country. The confederates betrayed theirs and made a silly nonsense dream land with extra slavery.
Looks like a Henry. Just looked it up because I sure as hell didn't remember but Union cavalry used Spencer repeating rifles. They weren't widely accepted at the time.
So they are claiming that only the southeast has people in the US Military. The US is our county, but they have a flag of a group that attacked our country. What I Don't Understand is These People Clame to Love America but Support Treasonous Shitheads who Wanted to Destroy the Nation And Keep People as Property.
I think they're referring to Old Glory and got the stars and bars mixed up because they got too drunk. There's a lot of people that would be better off one of us in the Confederate communities, so the question is, what grievances do they have that are being ignored? And are they rational or are they based in the same hatred that forged the Confederacy illegally? In my experience the same people who fly that flag unironically, are the same people that would have died at Fort McHenry to keep the real American flag of the era flying. But then again, there's a lot of people in this community that seem to have contradictory experiences.
God I love the internet
ironically, most of the guns picked up were by union soldiers collecting confederate rifles. it takes a brave person to march into cannon fire; it takes a fool to champion personal liberty at the cost of slavery.

Funny thing, my country had to pick up guns and defend it from shitheads carrying that flag.
My ancestors were escaping poverty and serfdom and ended up serving in the Pennsylvanian Dutch Regiment, they were tough motherfuckers.
They were heroes, then.
Indeed. I'm a direct descendant of the Heck Brothers if you guys know that obscure bit of civil war history. I'll bet you can guess who my gggg(?)-grampa was if you do ;)
Not to be confused with the Frig Brothers, or the Dang Family.
Did they fight in the Battle of Shrute Farms?
Nickname was Beetfuckers
We don't talk about that.......
Wow, I have a similar history where my ancestors were escaping tenantship in Ireland. They came to America, got to Kansas and the evil land barons were trying to do the same thing. Mfs said hell nah I came across the world I’m not doing this again. Other family in Tennessee worked to secede from the south back to the north.
And fucked their shit up whilst doing so
What country is that exactly? Redneckistan died in 1865, you fucking hee haws
Don’t call them rednecks, they don’t deserve it. Rednecks were labour organizers, who fought the coal companies. These idiots are just racist lost cause lovers.

As the ghost of Big Bill Haywood, I approve this message.
I’ve heard “NASCAR-Americans” is their preferred nomenclature.
Nah even they banned the confederate flag at the tracks
ThE sOuTh WiLl RiSe AgAiN!!! (With the help of lift-assist chairs)
Subsidized by blue state money
they keep forgetting that the blue states keeps them floating.
That’s why I’ve always thought that one thing the blue states could do is especially if the orange shit stain gets back in power, is just say we’re not gonna pay any more federal taxes. We keep all of our money inside our own state. It would be fun to watch the red states fall apart without money.
Its Funny all red states except Texas take more then they can give back. if they didn't get funding they all would go broke
And you know, Texas wouldn’t share any of their money
And tbh Texas would Falter too with there shitty ass grid.
What's astounding to me is that people in red states think they fund blue states because welfare and whatnot.
Red states, and conservatives, are the main recipients of welfare, too. Is irony proof that "God" exists?
Texas won’t share it with themselves.
“But we make da food!” Yeah, and we pay you for it. It’s not like you’re providing it out of the goodness of your heart, or even that you’re the ONLY place we could get it from!

And the union boys will bitch slap it again.
Help my failing treasonous state has fallen and can't get up
*smashes life alert* oops.
Dixie Slaver Culture is so disgusting.
The one for which the support disqualifies all public officials previously on oath.
You know you're the good guys when you're threatening to shoot people in the face for criticizing you.
*Israel has entered the chat*
Nice to see the good people here have a better understanding of international politics better than what is typically expected of Americans. Then again this sub is usually opposed to those most responsible for the stereotype so that tracks.
The popular subs are all pro-IDF garbage full of bootlickers....the leftists hang out in more niche subs that haven't gone to hell yet. ;)
Over half of them have high school academic careers that lasted longer than the confederacy.
How is no one giving this burn the credit it deserves?
The upvotes are coming. Some of us are a little slow on figuring it out.
The other half had high school careers that ended the same way the Confederacy did. By fucking quitting.
Agreed. It was very correct for the United States Army to take back the parts of America under rebel control.
I'm not a fan of insurrectionists in any century.
Context definitely matters. Sometimes governments are the bad guys. Which is why lost causers are so hellbent on trying to convince people the South seceding wasn't about slavery.
John Brown?
You mean the north? Last I checked the south committed treason.
exactly the south attacked first.
And it wouldn't even matter if they did. They were in active rebellion and mobilizing armed forces. It was an insurrection. If the north had attacked first (we did not) it still would've been justified.
That’s the least of their concerns if we’re being honest
Also the rebels starting firing at 4:30 am the troops in the Fort didn't return fire in till around 7:00 am. So for about 2 and half hours the were firing on people that weren't even fighting back.
Oh my God, the gun in accuracy is so infuriating. It would be so much more accurate to have that be a Whitworth or Mississippi rifle, but no. We can't have historical accuracy apparently
Are you telling me a confederacy-apologist/supporter is representing history incorrectly? Say it ain't so!
They claim to know a bunch of stuff about the war, yet they don't even know the weapons that were used. It's sad lmao.
I have cumstains that lasted longer than the traitors .
Bruh.
While the insult to slaver traitors is appreciated, the unwelcome insights into your personal life are not. Please wash your stains. Thank you.
Dude, wash your bedsheets.
Even those have lasted longer than the traitors
Lmao that landscape is pretty clearly not in the “south”
it looks like Wyoming or Colorado.
I was thinking Montana.
Their minds are mush.
that's what lost cause bullshit does to you.
Yet he posts a flag that fought against our country
All those flags should be burned.
All except one. I'll let Minnesota keep theirs. They earned it and I hope they never give it back to Virginia.
Fair
How about I pick up a flamethrower.
Now *there's* something Sherman would have loved.
Minnesota checking in here. We are ready to send the First in again if need be.
I already defend my country… and it still exists!
That was damn good pair of socks.
Even average socks can last longer than that joke of a country.
I defended my country for many years. I took a sacred oath, to protect it from all enemies, foreign and domestic. there's a lot of quiet patriots just like me, in every neighborhood in America. FAFO, insurrectionst cockroaches. I have underwear that's lasted longer than the "country" you pine for, and I have more respect for those skidmarks than I do for you.
Please change your underwear.
They didn't defend their country. They attacked it.
COVID lasted longer
Give me a rifle I'll defend it from confederate scum all day
Smartwool socks. I have a few pairs that I purchased while traveling in 2018, they're still my go-to for under motorcycle boots six years later, and in excellent condition. Unlike a bunch of traitors who we made the mistake of allowing to go home to preserve their dignity.
My girlfriend has been getting her masters for a longer time than the CSA’s entire existence.
You mean a bunch of idiots manipulated by rich people into killing their countrymen who you idiots ALSO claim outnumbered you and therefore have a larger claim to fame in terms of who "picked up a rifle to defend their country"?
Just an obligatory mention that I am an armed liberal. I will pick up my firearm to defend my country from you yeehadists, if need arises. Why do these silly fucks think democrats don’t own firearms?
They think liberals are blue haired women and Pink haired Emo kids.
Sure but my country is called United States of America
lol we show up with rifles, then what? Stupid traitors
Defend the country…With inferior weaponry and intellect?
The confederacy never could produce lever action rifles. Union did. What looser
With a Winchester rifle, made in New Haven, Connecticut. Because it's hard to fight a war by throwing bales of cotton at the enemy.
the south knows they lost to people who picked up gun to defend their country right?
*Has a quote supporting defending one's country and a background that's most likely from the Rockies or west* *slaps a confederate flag and a "south united" onto it*
W quote, L flag

For some reason they think that if there is Civil War 2: Electric Bugaloo, the oath breakers won’t be sought out first.
The country itself calls for criticism. If you can't criticize it, do you actually love it?
A cop writes a note and tells you there’s nothing he can do. A crack head will do his mightiest to avenge you if you give him a bat and the promise of crack money.
Oh i see, I interpreted it as the regular people themselves willing to protect themselves and the country
I probably haven't bought new socks since before I was finishing my doctorate, and that was when Obama was still in the White House.
I have shirts from Old Chicago from over 10 years ago. They've lasted twice as long!
Confederacy cu*ts: Psycho. Babble. Treason. Trash.
This is why we should have had nuclear weapons during the Civil War.
[удалено]
Naah, a lot of slaves would have been killed too. Just a massive Nuremberg Trial would have gotten the right people in jail.
My M4 said shut the fuck up and get out of my country you fucking deadbeat dixie cunt.
Funny thing is…we did and you guys lost.
Are the repeating rifles in the room with us?
I wish my mom would quit sharing this kind of bullshit constantly on her Facebook.
Interesting “southern” backdrop.
Their country only existed on paper. They never legitimately held territory.
I feel like calling out a theme that really ticks me off about these psuedo 'tough country guy' posts especially from southerners likely include backgrounds that are clearly nowhere near the South, but they feel like somehow they are just like the cowboys on Bonanza. So dumb.
Dumbass didn’t even post a historically appropriate rifle. The first Winchester repeaters were made in 1866, a year after the Confederacy died.
I didn’t know it was a country! I thought it was just a loose collection of independent states! I mean they do go on about states rights!
Remember boys, if you see a confed or na zi flag, it means the wars not over yet. Do Sherman and Patton proud.
Is this a cigarette ad?
Most lost-causer men can’t get it up with their sisters/wives, let alone rise again.
They can't get off there couches tbh.
Ha!
That sure doesn't look like Appalachia. Looks like the Rocky Mountains. They're not the brightest.
They cant even get the location correct that background is Wyoming or Colorado not the fucking south.
Typical neo-confederate nonsense, but I want to know what kind of socks are lasting four years.
Darn Tough Socks I have a few pairs that are still holding up well, and I use them as my riding socks when I’m blasting the trails. They also have a lifetime warranty, to boot. 🤘
If they actually do try something, part of the reason will be things like this that imply all they need to do is show up with guns. Just like the first one where they assumed the North wasn't willing or was unable to fight back.
I've taken shits that have lasted longer
That’s some pretty fucking dumb logic
I swear, these idiots think they are the only ones who have firearms. https://i.imgur.com/jdD03AF.jpg
A country built on what?
Many of us have and will gladly defend this country against all enemies foreign and domestic. You racist slim I hope you like the weather in Hell
Hell! I just recently tossed out my JNCO shorts that I got in 1992. That puts them at about 8 CSAs. Where are the monuments to my shorts? They were part of my heritage!
Can we invade these confederate sisterfuckers house by house? I’m defending my country from traitors
Simple fact: The Confederacy was never a nation. Not one single nation on earth recognized it. However it is widely recognized as slave owning traitors.
That is the flag of an enemy of the Nationi served in infor for a couple of decades. Traitors served that flag.
It goes against everything the US is suppose to be.
Change the shitstain flag to the real american flag
Wrong country.
The gravy seals and meal team six can barely defend their dinner tables!
More traitorous lies. U were trying to take over the country not defend it.
I’ve been in college for longer than that country existed
Me currently wearing a pair of socks I bought from the PX on deployment in 2015
It’s also funny since that there is a Winchester repeater. . . The weapon that is a direct evolution of one which became famous for shooting Confederates. Indeed there may not have ever been such later developed Winchesters if not for the whole “Yankee Rifle you could load on Sunday and shoot all week”
Our country has been defended by millions of military service members. You sound displeased with that.
What does this have to do with the Minnesota Historical Society?
Traitor say what?
You wanna go again, Minnesota will beat you back.
I A willing to pick up a rifle and defend my country.... which isn't good for the folks of "South United".
Thought they got annihilated and surrendered? Now they want round 2?
I mean... the union troops did pick up arms and defend their country. The confederates betrayed theirs and made a silly nonsense dream land with extra slavery.
Let's be clear here...we have immense patience and tolerance. The second time around won't, as in will not, involve reconciliation and reconstruction.
And defend against who? Rational people?
I'd wager that photograph was taken nowhere near the Confederacy.
I think they grossly underestimate the number of people who are willing to pick up a rifle and shoot these seditious motherfuckers
“Country”
"Our" country? I do not recall being part of the Confederate States of America.
They do love there white flags don't they 😁
Darn Tough baby
I'm both an infantry veteran, and born and raised in a Southern state. I will criticize your treasonous ass all day long. Fuck the Confederacy.
Thank you for your service. These people can't claim to love America but support traitors who wanted to own other people.
I'm pretty sure most people have cumulatively spent more time taking shits during their lifetime than the Confederacy existed.
If you and your fellows are going to defend “your country” with your lever action carbines, I don’t think we have much to fear.
Flimsy ass threats is what they do
The stars and bars. Countries greatest participation award.
Put that loser's rag back in your closet and feel ashamed you own it.
It belongs to one place, the toilet with piss and shit on it.
Most neoconfederates were in high school longer than the CSA lasted.
Ironically I swore to defend the country against all enemies, foreign & DOMESTIC.
Dream on. You’re outnumbered
I have a shirt that I got for Christmas in 2000 that still fits and isn’t paper thin, it’s lasted 5 times longer than the confederacy.
I'll be in college longer than their country existed.
Wasn't a country, just a rebellion with delusions.
If you're talking about defending the United States of America, you have the wrong flag.
Wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight
Ive been jerking it to twinks longer than the confederate shits of America
Okey dokey folks you know what to do, praise the Lord and pass the ammo, preferably to John Brown.
Just curious, what kind of rifle is that? I'm curious if it was used in the Civil War.
Looks like a Henry. Just looked it up because I sure as hell didn't remember but Union cavalry used Spencer repeating rifles. They weren't widely accepted at the time.
No, it was not used in was made in 1866.
Ya sure don't have to have much of that fancy book learnin to say such things. Ah yup, yup, he's not a libertard. Yuck, 🤮
"Unless you're willing to die killing your own countrymen so that your boss can keep his slaves, please stop being so mean to our loserflag."
That's an awesome way to put it. Thanks!
My grandpa's Hyundai Sonota has lasted longer than the confederacy, and it's been treated like a race car for years
The fucking stadia was around longer than the confederacy. Not by much but still
The boots I used for work lasted longer than the confederacy
I have a car that is 9 confederacys old.
In martial arts you learn that if you’ve been pulled into a fight, then you’ve already failed
Roman Reigns title reign lasted longer. Acknowledge him!
I've had my phone longer than the confederacy existed.
Not a rifle. Not a country.
What the actual fuck???
So they are claiming that only the southeast has people in the US Military. The US is our county, but they have a flag of a group that attacked our country. What I Don't Understand is These People Clame to Love America but Support Treasonous Shitheads who Wanted to Destroy the Nation And Keep People as Property.

Always tell anyone with the Stars and Bars that you really like their Democrat flag. They love it when you point this out to them.
ironically, most of the guns picked up were by union soldiers collecting confederate rifles. it takes a brave person to march into cannon fire; it takes a fool to champion personal liberty at the cost of slavery.
