On April 9, 1865, the Confederate army surrendered to the Union.
During their retreat, the Confederates burned down their own capital, the city of Richmond, VA - my current home. They burned 90% of the business district, all the warehouses and goods. The citizens were left destitute and homeless.
I need you to remember this when you're fighting white supremacy: these people will turn on everyone else to save themselves. They're cowards who believe in nothing but their own self interests.
