As a young child, you learn the Civil War was about slavery.

Later, you learn the Civil War was about a lot of complicated things.

Ultimately, you learn that the Civil War was about slavery.

Edit: And remember, Juneteenth is fairly close to commemorating this, especially with the current state of southern politics.

I am very grateful that Juneteenth is now a federal holiday. Of course I appreciate the day off work, but I also appreciate the reason for that day of celebration.

Perhaps they simply were trying to thank this community-recognizable contributor. Thank you, ZeroCool. I, too, loved Hackers.

God bless Matthew lillard
