    What they did is so much worse than repealing something. They crafted a new law making it illegal for local city/county governments to enact their own protections for workers during extreme heat. They literally took away these people’s agency to make decisions for themselves just to get some headlines before the election.

            He was hung by that bastard Lee, the failure of Brown was neither spirit or tactics it was method. He shouldve kept at bleeding the slavers and eventually he may have killed enough to succeed at starting a slave revolt. The problem is he jumped two steps ahead.

              He was hanged for committing crimes against the United States. He was one of the sparks of the war yes, but Grant would’ve executed him too.

              Don’t forget that the heroes of the civil war immediately went west to commit a horrific genocide.
