HeavenlyPossum (@[email protected]) Many people in the US grew up seeing maps of the US civil war that depicted a sharp and clear boundary between the Confederacy and the Union. These maps, of course, paper over lots of historical nuance, everything from the federal occupation of Maryland to Kentucky’s internal civil war to the existence of southern Unionist insurgents to the participation of Indian Territory, but they do convey a real historical truth: The US civil war was fought between two polities that were internally cohesive, claimed specific and defined territories, and whic fielded coherent conventional militaries against each other. 1/ https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/union-confederacy/ https://kolektiva.social/@HeavenlyPossum/115361140605633489
