Is Loudermilk a Confederate sympathizer?

Why do I get the feeling Jan. 6 had at least something to do with the Civil War? I remember being at Ft. Bragg in the 60's and the southerners were still fighting it. I noticed southern accents on that video released the other day too. Trump seems to be a Confederate hero.

White supremacy runs through the Civil War and WWII.

You think Jan 6 was about the Civil War? Maybe you saw some Confederate flags there.

Wonder why they named a base after him. He probably did more for the Northern cause by being such an awful general than he did for the Confederacy.

I met a guy from South Carolina in the Army who hated yankees. The hate, the propaganda, was passed down through the generations.
