How would you have treated confederate leaders?

had them shot for treason.

2. Break up plantations and give land to both poor whites and blacks.
3. Permanent federal troops.
4. Anyone under the age of 12 gets sent to northern boarding schools until they come of age.

For once MasterJedi comes up with some good ideas!

I'd also institute a lifetime ban on the right to vote and own property for all Confederate veterans. I'd also send federal troops around to destroy and desecrate every Confederate graveyard, and at random select some dead veterans to be dug up, have their bodies cut to pieces and have the pile be left at their family's doorstep.

Ugh. What is it you want to accomplish - keeping the flame of secession alive for ever? Really man, that's disgusting.

Not to mention that idea 4 would have been entirely unworkable.

Well that's probably why I'm not a leader, just some random person making musings about what happened a century ago.

But I really really hate Confederates. That's all it comes down to. The same attitude would be found among most people in Minnesota and any other state that fought against the Confederacy too of course.
