Where we meme (joking in tone and detail, serious in sentiment) about General Sherman, the Civil War, and how the secesh traitors had it coming.
RULES

No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.
-
No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

Unironically, while I'm not a big fan of RDR2 in general (just not my cup of tea), it was a fantastic choice to have Arthur positive towards women's suffrage because he's cynical towards democracy ("Women voting? Shore, why not. Anyone dumb enough to vote should be allowed to."). It makes his views non-hostile towards the modern eyes of most players without making his views tonally inconsistent with his background or time period.
Lots of men in the time period saw women's suffrage as a positive thing, so I don't think it would be that inconsistent even if.
Wouldn't have happened if there weren't broad support, even if a vocal minority.
