I’m super stoked to say I’ve got some pins on the way. They’re going to be pretty limited because cost is still a factor for me. But in the meantime, I wanted to do a giveaway. They’re still in production, so you’ve got plenty of time to get in on it.

Here’s what I’m looking for. Shoot me a picture of my stickers covering racist/homophobic/traitor graffiti or maybe other places you deem fitting (wink) and you’ll get a chance at a free pin. Shipped with tracking, on me.

Send me your best pictures in a chat here on Reddit, include your previous order number, and that’s it. I’ll be picking a few of my favorites and entering the rest into a lottery.

When the pins arrive I’ll send them out. There also might be some other goodies with it, depending on how other things play out.

Happy hunting out there, everybody.

We are all here because of our love for the Confederate beating, General William Tecumseh Sherman. Of course, how could we not?

However, there’s been a number of recent posts that make me think/realize that for many of you, your knowledge or care of Sherman starts with the Civil War, and ends there.

These posts make a nod to more contemporary history, claiming Sherman would’ve been on a specific side. It completely ignores the fact that Sherman would have been happy had the war ended with a peace that left slavery to exist in the US, and then proceeded to oversee the Plains Indian Wars in the succeeding years.

So, no… Sherman, for all the good and bada** stuff he did in the ACW, he would not have been on the side of what you think he would’ve been.

Context: due to the American Civil War, the CSA needed to grow crops to feed its army and populous. However, due to several factors including A blockade by the US Navy, the CSA began to run out of food. As a result, food became incredibly expensive and the populace began to starve, and both factors led to several southern cities experiencing riots, The most destructive of which happened on April 1, 1863 in Richmond, Virginia. After supposedly being denied by President Davis and Mayor Mayo (Yes. The man's name was Joseph Mayo lol), several women, some men, and a few enslaved individuals began to loot Richmond store houses and businesses for food and clothing. Some rioters carried bricks, bats and pistols. Threat by the city militia calm them down, but they were still successful in their thieving efforts.

It’s such tired bullshit. Everywhere online now is “Lee was a here” “You’re and idiot if you think the civil war was over slavery” “they where the real patriots” it’s 2025. I thought we where past this stupidity.

It got so bad Bobby Lee banned self-inoculations for the army.

Get rekt johnny reb!

as i patiently await my suffer no copperhead stickers, i’ve been learning illustrator. i’m doing a series on civil war characters where i mashup their daguerreotypes with 20th century graphic styles. jewel tones look good on these dudes.

The Harbinger inspo: William T. Sherman (obvi), vaporwave, terminal classic Mayan murals, the Atlanta Campaign, contempt, fire

i’ve got more if you dig it.

First is the crossing of the iconic mighty Mississippi was a brilliant success and led to the opening of the river from the Midwest to the Gulf of Mexico. He crossed with 22,000 people and achieved perfect surprise as Washington did so long ago. How come we don’t get a pairing of that crossing it is. Currier & Ives do have a lithograph of the Vicksburg gun running.

Second the Rapidan a formidable crossing of over 100,000 soldiers almost in the face of an enemy. In many ways this is like Cesar crossing the Rubicon but for a better cause. Once Grant crossed that river whatever happened there would be no turning back. We do get a sketch of Grant after the wilderness by Edwin Forbes

Finally the crossing of the James River in a huge engineering feat thought by many at the time to be impossible and the longest pontoon bridge the world had seen After this successful crossing the fate of the rebellion was only a matter of time. There is a nice work “Grant crosses the James River” by Benjamin West.

It’s a shame none of these get the glorious painting that Washington gets
