In the deepest of the antebellum south ... there were black slave owners, city slaves with all the rights of a free man and many patriotic slaves that defended their good masters and land from the yankee invader and Sherman’s murderous rampage

Slavery was a system rigged against black and poor white alike, and it needed to die ... and the war was inevitable ... the scotus made sure of that with the Scott decision ...

Like all wars to follow, soldiers fought gallantly and politicians fucked it up royally ...

ALL WARS ARE BANKER'S WARS

That’s just retarded ... and I can prove it

Me: all wars are ((banker)) wars right ?

Adolph: yes

Me: ok what if your peaceful country was being invaded by a evil ((country)), should you defend yourself ?

Adolph: yes, but it’s different because it’s our war

Me: would you need war bonds, currency inflation, taxes and special war appropriations to defend yourself?

Adolph: yes, but we are the good guys, our bankers are better than their ((bankers))

...

A old woman in Serbia was asked if she desired peace, she responded “yes of course”, the interviewer then told her than she must then “peacefully cohabit the land with Muslims”, the old woman responded “with those animals?, never! I would gladly die getting us rid of them” ...

War is part of the human condition and bankers or ((bankers)) are too ... you are an idiot that doesn’t know how the world works and is condemned to repeat the worst mistakes in history

Sorry, I'm retarded. I was conflating "war is a racket" the book by smedly butler with the film "all wars are bankers wars" by mike rivero. Similar content.

What’s your point? Hitler has his own bankers? How does that disprove anything

War is part of the human condition, and you don’t need a grand conspiracy of bankers or ((bankers)) to explain it.

It is retarded to resign the forces of history to a myth

Lol, it's a book title. Written by smedly butler. It's a reference to the global elite always profiting off of both sides of a conflict. Not quite as simple as the catch phrase leads you to believe. It was specifically focused on us foreign policy during 1900-1950ish

it needed to die

This is where Southern apologists always get it wrong.

Yes, states were allowed to secede so yes technically the North did start the war. The Southern states acted within their rights.

However, slavery was not a worthy cause for secession.

No, that’s simply wrong

The slavery issue was a problem not because there was a overwhelming interest in emancipation, but because the compromise that had held the union together up to that point (slavery for the south but not for the north) was broken when scotus opened the door for slavery to be enforced by the federal government in northern states and the western territories

Imagine if you will if scotus suddenly decided that the NY state gun control was now enforceable by the us Marshalls ... everywhere !!

It wasn’t emancipation, and the north up to that point had tolerated slavery just fine ... the south and scotus both drew first blood by fucking up the “let’s just ignore the slavery question” strategy that had worked for 80y
