    I think for the confederates it was different. There was an actual war fought, not a single event. Since reconstruction was about returning the south to the fold, they went easy on some things they probably shouldn’t. But, I don’t think any of the high level confederates really fought to get higher office.

    Which, really, is the same situation here.

      People died on January 6. Someone was shot storming our nation’s capital building.

      It is a clear and decisive event just like the civil war.

        Hundreds of thousands dead versus, what, 10? Maybe?

        You can’t equate the two.
