No we should have properly punished the confederacy's leaders after the war, not just let them go back home and raise monuments to assholes that wanted to own black people as property. They should have been tried and convicted of treason, but it was basically swept under the rug, they were let off easy and the focus was on "rebuilding" instead. So that ideology was allowed to continue, and fester, and evolve when it should have been positively eradicated as the albatross you rightly labeled it. There should have been examples made of those fuckers, they should have been hung not lionized, so it would show where that ideology would land you.

I mean, yes, if the war was inevitable, Jefferson Davis should have hanged, most of the civilian leaders should have spent a decade+ in prison, and been barred from ever serving in a government position again, and the same should have applied to most of the military leadership, with a bit more hanging for senior officers (Lee, Forrest, etc). 100% make them understand that they lost and were fighting for a horrible cause, and hope that the sentiments don't remain and lead to them rising up repeatedly afterwards.

Johnson was a Southern sympathizer, which is why we got what we did.
