Lmao how does pointing out things that Lincoln actually did make me a lost cause fag? Is it simply because I’m from Virginia and am pointing these facts out?
Learn real history, my guy. Lincoln wasn’t a saint like Common Core history wants you to believe. Everyone is flawed—even historical heroes
From up north myself, but totally agree. I think attacking Sumter was an optical mistake - would have been better to truly let it start as a War of Northern Aggression - but the South had every right to secede. That's 100% independent of slavery being an evil institution. Hell, Lincoln himself commented to the effect that he'd allow slavery if it kept the Union together.
It's disgusting to see the erasure/white-washing of US history now and the smearing of everyone who fought for the South. Even anti-slavery authors like Twain are censored now because of things like N___r Jim - who was a noble character given as en example of the wrongs of slavery. Anyway, it's these times - dumb down the history lessons and demonize everyone from the past who didn't live up to your current standards. Ridiculous.
Habeus corpus being suspended during the civil war and jailing political rivals indefinitely makes you the “good guy” now?
Lost cause fav
