Thanks, I came from a different POV, the US meddling to install and support dictators in Latin America is well known and documented, and yet, today, the US government says it can not ask or make El Salvador return the innocent American resident sent to its prison
This ignores things like slave catchers who ventured across state borders into the north to catch free men (illegally) and the south by seceding was taking hostage those people and other Americans. West Virginia exists because the government of Virginia decided they wanted to secede but the people didn’t
Also states don’t get to vote on laws and just leave and get their way anyways if the vote doesn’t go their way. That’s the agreement they made, and the only basis they had for seceding was they feared a law that would make them unable to own slaves.
The confederacy also started the war with the north by attacking fort Sumter
It is a joke about the Confederacy in the American civil war
The joke is that when southern states seceded from the Union the northern US went to war to force them back in which set off the US civil war.

Oh, I thought it was about the '60s–'80s with regimes like Pinochet and Banzer and the series of military dictatorships in Brazil.
This. It’s specifically a joke about El Salvador.
It is a joke about the US civil war (El Salvador is not involved as we are taking 1860s timeframe)
