How exactly would you define "every last Confederate"? I guess this means Jefferson Davis and high-ranking Confederate officers, but does it include all the rank and file, including everyone who was drafted after April 1862? Are all Confederate civilians included in this as well? Millions of people?

whenever i get into historical details about the reconstruction era, i always come away with the same feeling: they should’ve hung every last confederate. now we live with the actual, spiritual, and ideological descendants of evil who men who were welcomed back instead, and its poisoned this country
