Confederates? WTF are you talking about they were the first to have balls enough to stand up the the Nazi federal dictators in Washington. History has only been unkind to them because to the victor goes the spoils and the globalist cabal in D.C. gets to write all your history books.
Well, here's the thing. For the South, the War Between The States wasn't really about slavery. Yes, that's how it was recorded, yes, slavery was a real thing and yes, Lincoln was a good man to want to put an end to it. But the War Between The States cannot be confined to just the issue of slavery. It was about the South's determination that the states should rule themselves. Most of the Southerners never owned a slave in their lives; they were predominantly dirt farmers, sharecroppers, etc. Yes, there were plantations but those were not limited to the South. The Southern man bore arms to stop the Federal Government from encroaching and usurping the states' rights to govern themselves. I wish men today were as willing to stand up for these rights.
That contravenes the reality of federal laws forcing the northern states to capture runaway slaves, scotus upholding the practice and us Marshall arresting northerners for protecting slaves and even drafting them for slave hunting posies
Add to that the intense lobbying to make the new territories slave holding states and on top of that the effort to nationalize slavery
The “state rights” story is actually a Nixon campaign strategy to win the south ... and it worked!
I have been a student of the War Between The States for many years and I can tell you flat out that "states rights" was the rallying cry for many a Confederate soldier. Nixon may have capitalized on it but the South were resisting tyranny. That the slaves were freed is a good and righteous thing and I do believe God had a hand in that being the outcome of this bloodiest of wars, but to this day, a true Southerner has the same heart to resist the encroachment of his rights, particularly by an un-elected, rogue government. Perhaps you could have made your point without including Confederates, but you chose to (for whatever reason). Good luck with your thread.

This. Came here to pretty much say this. I'm from the "By-God" South; I'm a Confederate and I don't apologize for it.
They despise the South because they despise the cross. The South only lost a battle Jesus will win the war.
Lol ... civil war era of course ...

Because there was no slave state that could survive without a expansionist policy
