BTW, instead of associating the uniform of a confederate trooper automatically with the minority of rich slaver owners, he should have realized that most people who wore and died in this uniform were young poor frightened fellows thrown into Hell, starving, who had to see their friends blown in pieces by cannon fire, shrapnel and gatlings. And when all is said and done, he as survivor in terrible times of the ZA, everytime he felt hunger, pain, everytime he was scared, had more in common than he'd ever believe with a white southerner from poor background of the civil war era who died before his time after seeing his friends die absurd and cruel deaths without understanding very well why he had to fight.
In the winter of 65, we were hungry, just barely alive...
I loved Rebecca for telling Mike how stupid he was to even think she would care in her situation.
He pissed me off so much there. Serious… morely, acting like a confederate coat is something so evil and repulsive he would rather freeze to death than wearing it...
We're in the f*cking Zombie Apocalypse, surviving one day after another is the only thing that counts, there are zombies everywhere out to kill and eat humans and most of the few survivors have turned into predators to other survivors, everyday is a nightmare, but "oh my god a confederate coat stop everything, this is wrong, like, the worst thing ever". Eat shit Mike. Glad you were likely shot by Kenny.
I'm from the UK and at my school they never covered it, from what I remember history was heavily based around Roman, tudor times, plague, great fire of London and the world wars lightly in primary school then mostly about english civil war, WW1 & WW2, Agricultural & Industrial revolution Year 7 to 9 of secondary school. Then if you took history for GCSE from what I was told it was mostly focused on the wall street crash and other topics of recent history but not the civil war... I think it really depends from school to school and what topics they choose to cover. I was never taught about the civil war (from what I remember) at school, but taught myself because I enjoy history.
Same I just did a few comment above yours in reply to someone, saying what we was taught about and that it really depends what topics schools decide to cover. They're not all the same.
Unless you know every facet of whats going on in the middle east than you're a damn hypocrite. Not everyone is going to know every thing about history.
I was much younger when I played Mortal Kombat. Give me a break! Kids are going to do what they shouldn't be doing its natural!
TWD is a game rated 18+ "Younger" shouldn't be a part of this equation and this should be common knowledge. Not understanding this referenc… moree proves you're too young for this game.
If you're under 18 and don't know the COLOURS that the Confederates and Union wore, you need to re-prioritize your life. Even if you don't read a lick, you could learn this from the fucking Simpsons or any number of well known movies.
He deserves to die because he was being sensitive about a touchy subject?
I agree that its the zombie apocolypse and that should be the last thing on their minds but you are really butthurt that a black person would have an issue with that coat.

The people doing face palms and insults need to stop. Not everyone is born in America or taught American history. It was an important note in history but not everyone is that into history. How many of you know about the Cold War or the Mexican Revolution or the damn Chinese Civil war? Thats right! China had a civil war and it was in the 1920s-1940s.
Hypocrites don't know about that shit? Than STFU. It shouldn't be required to know it or I can call you an idiot for not knowing those wars I mentioned! The willingness to learn about history is whats important not that you don't already know it!

I'm confused, are you still refering to the American Civil War? I'm not sure how that's one of the most deadly, what with it being based in N.America, rather than across continents, like the world wars or Crusades, etc. I'd call them more deadly in terms of scope and lives lost, personally.
That's still the same continent. Why would countries on the other side of the world automatically study it? Especially when there's a good chance they have their own country's history to prioritise, and probably their own country's civil war (many have had at least one).
I'm Canadian and I knew this. It's one of the most well documented wars in history. It was covered in my history classes in elementary schoo… morel.
I have a hard time believing that other countries don't cover it in history class at all. It's an extremely important event.
Well, you don't have to be American to know about the American Civil War. This sort of thing should be common knowledge. I'm British and know all this... Shame people don't show an interest in history despite the fact it's a big deal, really.

Same here. I know a bit about my country's (Australia) recent history, such as the Port Arthur massacre, but I find myself more interested in American history.
The South believed that land owners had the right to own slaves.
And the Union wasn't alright with that.
Plus the South was making a killing in cotton, and the Union wanted a piece of the action.
Anyway, the whole idea of Slavery, was why Mike and Bonnie thought Rebecca might object to the confederate coat.
Which, considering they were in freezing weather, was completely ridiculous.
She ended a coat to keep her warm, period!
Lol Mortal Kombat. Oh no! Pixilated blood and boobs! And can you believe they can say "bitch" on TV now? What is the world coming to?
M-R… moreated games from the 90s are a joke now. They're primitive compared today's offerings. Don't let nostalgia blind you.
One of the major reasons being that the Confederates invested a lot of money in owning people and making it illegal to own people would end up severely damaging their economy. Not only would they lose a majority of the money they invested buying the people they'd lose a majority of their "workforce."

Seriously, this is starting to get racist.. Just because America is a huge nation does not mean we all have to re-prioritize our lives and learn about it in such details before other things.

^ I especially love it in the Stick of Truth game where Canada is literally an 8 bit old school RPG and you can walk across the map in seconds
You have dire AIDS.... You know its just like AIDS... but more DIRE
Well, not every country teaches American Civil War History since not everyone needs to know that.
No need to call people retarded or stupid for not knowing the history of your country.

Wasn't it basically economics
I JUST LIVE HERE FOR THE NACHOS AND THE FOOTBALL

The economics of the Confederates losing their slaves.

im sorry i can't hear you over the wars that were a lot more deadly
you don't have to be a prick about it. not everyone learns about the american civil war.
yes i agree with you +1
I've heard the song before, so don't think I'm talking about it when I say that that was beautiful.

Most people here are still in school...
American Civil War history isn't common knowledge, thank you very much.
A joke added to lighten things made you pissed with that character?
Lol Mortal Kombat. Oh no! Pixilated blood and boobs! And can you believe they can say "bitch" on TV now? What is the world coming to?

Ooooh nice! Lets blatantly ignore my point so you can look better than me.
it was a lot of factors, which ended up where the south left the union because of upcoming pressure from the north.

I didn't understand it too. Because I'm from Europe
I'm not American and I know nothing about Civil War. Now I feel ashamed
Same, I'm from Israel so I don't know a lot about the civil war :l
Where are you from?
Tell me Israel's foundation year and I'll agree.
@TheWalkingSheep @Welcome_to_Woodbury lol
Speak for your own country though, WW1 and WW2 seem more important to most education systems around the world if I'm correct.
That's 100% untrue, most countries do not learn about the American Civil War.
"/facepalm"
MURICU FUKK YEEEE
Seriously, this is starting to get racist.. Just because America is a huge nation does not mean we all have to re-prioritize our lives and learn about it in such details before other things.
Ignorance.

Muricans... We have to know everything about them, or else we're just doing something wrong, don't we
I'm not generalizing all Americans, but it's true lookng at a lot of comments on this thread.
They both are in Germany as well. Especially WW2.
Lol, same with the Nazis, WW2 and the Holocaust are really important here.
I love that game, lol.
No, don't.
Yup.
