    The entire concept of the "we don't stop marching" aesthetic is that it's such a blatant display of oppression.

    "At least it's my King oppressing me, not those dirty French."

        Listening to the War Nerd Civil War series has been wild. The numbers of men then sent up an open hill to be killed by cannons.

          Yeah but the US civil war was especially bloody for a war at the time, partially as they had only recently started using automatic guns

            Yeah, post Napoleonic Wars technology advancement is nuts - all the arms manufacturers were stoked by the AM Civil War.
