    TBF, Hitler got a lot of his ideas from the US. Germany was just a smaller and less ethnically diverse country than the US, so there was less resistance to fascism.

    Letting the South off easy after the Civil war was the big mistake.

      it was. it got us the nazis. letting a single confederate officer (who wasn’t a double agent or something) avoid the noose was such a huge mistake. not dispossessing everyone who claimed to own another human completely was also a mistake.

        Exactly. The government should have seized the land of every plantation owner that made a living from slave labor, and distributed it to former slaves as reparations.
