Time to once again re-educate idiot libs. The Civil War was NOT about slavery

So, in spite of the claims that the South is the most "pro-American" and "patriotic" region of the country, they are actually the most treasonous because many of them, to this day, support succeeding from the United State of America, an/or spend message board careers defending the Confederacy.

Well, that gets into the definition of patriotism - I'd argue and suspect you might agree that there is a false patriotism, based on symbols, something Michael Parenti wrote about in a book titles "Super-Patriotism", you can read some excerpts here:

Ya, I'm not saying the 'virtue of slavery' issue is anywhere near the middle - the North was vastly superior on that, and I agree with your concern about confederacy defenders.

What I was saying was in the middle was the issue of slavery as being the cause of the civil war. For example, reportedly some of the Union military was upset with the Emancipation Proclamation saying they didn't go to war to fight slavery.
 
Emancipation Proclamation President Abraham Lincoln decrees that all slaves in Rebel territory are free on January 1, 1863.
1865 Slavery Abolished
The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution outlaws slavery.

Why didn't he decree that all slaves in the US be freed on 1/1/1863 and why did it take 2 years for slavery to be abolished??

Reportedly??? It was a fact. Lincoln sold the war on the idea of preserving the union. None of the blue-bellies wanted to die to free the negros.
 
Actually around 750,000 Americans died not the 400,000 Northerners you keep harping on about. Oh, and up to a million blacks died from starvation and pestilence but who cares about that? The ironic aspect to all this is that you probably support the Catalans against fascist Spain!

Yeah, they don't like to think about the fact that the former slaves had absolutely no support system; after they were FREED.

Your racist friend TDAK is glad that another racist at JPP has taken up his racist argument...
Friend request sent, I'm sure...
Racists always stick together.

So anyone who is proposing that California secede should be arrested and charged with treason??

Prior to the Civil War, what Constitutional law was broken by the South seceding?

While you do have a good rant going and I can see how hard it is for you to remain on task; but your reply didn't really address the questions. :good4u:

The issue here is not what Lincoln did or when he did it.
The issue here is that UFREEDUMB agrees with TDAK his racist pal no matter how fucking stupid he is...
Racists will always stick together.
They have an unspoken code.
