    1. History is important, even history we disagree with. Especially history that some current ideologue wants to hide
    2. These people being killed left suffering for their family and friends, a missing generation was a huge problem for their community
    3. Most soldiers were likely fighting for their friends and communities. Maybe I’m overstepping for things I’ve never experienced, but I would be willing to bet that very few individual soldiers chose to be there to support slavery, or had anywhere near that amount of abstraction in their motivations
