I agree with you Bill. The Nazis, Japanese emperor worshipers were decimated and they rebuild form a clean foundation. As one GI said, 'when I got to Berlin there was not one Nazi to be found'. The South merely regrouped, gradually rewrote history with the Daughters of the Confederacy and so the malignancy persists.

Ike made sure that Germany saw what was done in their name. The praising of Hitler ceased. The cult was eradicated - almost. But like anthrax spores, some lie in wait.
This ignores SO much actual history. In Japan, for instance, there is the Yakusuni shrine which commemorates the deaths of over 2 million Japanese soldiers from all the way back to the 1800s but absolutely includes all the war dead of Ww2 INCLUDING those like Tojo who were executed by the US after war trials. The shrine is highly controversial but the Japanese have never considered closing it and it remains a highly visited spot. Animosity towards Japan from China and Korea (North AND South) continues to this day. And while Nazis were mostly dealt with in Germany, many got away often to South America and some have even survived (although most are now VERY old if not dead).

And plutocrats deliberately fanned the embers of the Civil War in order to divide and conquer, just as they had fed racism to keep the serfs divided.
