"Important reminder in this chapter that the Union soldiers were, alas, also really fucking racist, but after 90-odd pages of describing the antebellum South as what I will charitably call the most shit-headed and small-minded society imaginable the Yanks still come off as philosopher-kings in comparison" — Jul 07, 2026 03:47PM

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
