                LBJ was the turning point for the democrats and the south, ghosts of the confederate past. They left the party, but obviously didn't drop the old time beliefs.

                There was no de-confederatization program in 1865. Sherman tried his best though.

                    Sherman should be the model for cleaning up Chicago, Seattle, Portland, etc.

                        No confederates to steal jam from and burn cotton.
