    It's called facts, boy.

    If you want me deported, I suggest you get off your ass and start the process instead of running your dick sucker on this forum.

    And another example of the SJW's trying to hide a low point in our history. We have a statue of a union soldier looking north in our town. I guess we should tear it down because it reminds us of the Civil war and slavery.

    The destruction of historical statues was done by the Taliban and ISIS.

    Repost: had to revise several links

    This issue reminds me of the republican loss in the last election, the topic is constantly being rearranged into something other than what it was. We could include the Iraq invasion too, as it was a constant redefining of motives values and reasons. But when the south lost because of their attachment to slavery all sorts of Pandora explanations spewed forth into the history of made up whys. Today with cyberspace the reasons change and grow in all directions on a weekly basis. As Soviet radio once reported "We cannot predict the future, but the past is changing before our very eyes." After listening to the republicans yesterday, they can do the past and the future. Global happiness follows close behind their new budget. Weird how now they are on the right track, or is this the same track spun magically new?

    The south wanted slavery, same as the republicans today want power and corporate wealth, nothing has really changed. All that changes is the influence of money and paid for revisionism. The new revisionism is a mea culpa history. Below are a few links that tell the story if you can see it or the harder part, accept it. If unanimity existed, history would be so easy but ignoring the fundamental reason is dishonest.

    This piece covers the topic of why. "Her conclusion is that the Americans who fought the Civil War overwhelmingly thought they were fighting about slavery, and that we should take their word for it."

    https://forum.nationstates.net/viewt...p?f=20&t=44785

    =================

    "Benjamin Franklin, in a 1773 letter to Dean Woodward, confirmed that whenever the Americans had attempted to end slavery, the British government had indeed thwarted those attempts. Franklin explained that . . . . a disposition to abolish slavery prevails in North America, that many of Pennsylvanians have set their slaves at liberty, and that even the Virginia Assembly have petitioned the King for permission to make a law for preventing the importation of more into that colony. This request, however, will probably not be granted as their former laws of that kind have always been repealed. "

    I could almost understand it if the SJW's were doing it on religious grounds. But their excuse is it offends some people. I guess 21st century people are more offended than 20th century people.

    Whether the Civil War was fought over slavery or destroying the union, does not matter. It was an attempt to destroy the US. It was not a heroic battle for values. It was an attempted overthrow of the government. They are all in Benedict Arnold's class.

    It was a peaceful attempt to leave that was met with violent resistance by the Union troops.
