Explanation: There was something of an ideological divide in expat/immigrant Italians fighting in the US Civil War - many of those fighting for the Union were veterans of the forces of the great liberal revolutionary Giuseppe Garibaldi - and many fighting for the Confederacy were veterans of the Bourbon monarchy of Two Sicilies which Garibaldi played a part in defeating.

Do you take commissions for memes to be made?
Unfortunately, I don't even make the memes I post (usually)! I just spread other people's hard work
(gasp) where do you find them
Mixture of places. Some on other social media sites like Facebook or R*ddit, some on Google or Bing.
So you can say these are rescue memes.
