indeed. they were a bunch of racist traitors who tried to breakaway and failed miserably. and yet for some reason to this day people still worship the flag of failed uprising like its the shroud of turin itself. they were basically american nazis and i laugh everytime someone tries to act like they were anything but.
You're 100% right. I once believed this "Lincoln was a dictator" nonsense, then I did something amazing........ I read what actual confederates in high positions said about the war.
Funny thing is that the one thing the neo confederates got right is that the war wasn't just about slavery. The difference is the leaders of the confederacy talk about the natural state of the "negro" and that it is clearly inferior and therefore they have no rights. Sure they bring up states rights and tariffs, but the selective amnesia on the blatantly horrifying racism doesn't help our movement one iota.
The other amazing twist of irony I've experienced dealing with the neo confederates is that a lot of them call Lincoln a dictator but in the same breath, called for Trump to "cross the rubicon".
History is filled with wars started by foolish people who believe they will win simply by showing up. I fear the dangerous place the left and our own neo confederates will be pushing us into if we don't start using some real logic. Keep up the good work fren, the truth is worth taking the arrows.
thanks fren. i'm a big history buff, so i've probably done more reading and research into topics like this than what you would get out of the average history class. and i agree with you that the most outspoken and hate-filled people on our side and the left are leading this country down a dangerous path, but for the most part i am an idealist and believe that most of the right and left are actually moderates who simply disagree on what is best for the nation. history is filled with examples like this, where the loud minority hijack the platform and get the majority into trouble. it is even worse in the present day due to the amplification effect of mass media, social networks, and the internet having all these little echo chambers where there is no dissent (and let's be honest, as great as this site is, it IS an echo chamber...go against the grain in the slightest way, and you immediately get called a shill, or worse), so everyone thinks they are right, because nobody is disagreeing with them, when in reality it is because dissent has been silenced.
Fuck the CSA. Worthless sacks of shit
