Are Confederate soldiers considered US vets?

[SmarterthanYou]

I mean, this is where we're at. Not even a full year into Trump's tenure.

His supporters vehemently arguing for the honor of a treasonous army that fought to preserve one of the most evil & damaging institutions in history.

every post now you are making yourself look more and more like an idiot leftist instead of one of the few who had braincells. congrats.

The leaders of the confederacy were completely unambiguous about preserving slavery and keeping "the negro in his place" as significant reasons for fighting the Civil War. Secessionist statements from various states also clearly indicated that preserving slavery was paramount. There was no confusion about it.

You'll have to do better than "idiot leftist" to rewrite that history.

Just because they became American veterans retroactively doesn't mean they should be celebrated with statues. When people in your country fight for an ideal as bad as slavery do you really want to honor their "sacrifice"?

not just because-yes, but the statues showed the previous generations desire to honor the soldiers.

That coupled with them being US vets, and the fact they were quickly integrated back into society shows the statues should remain,and the vets were honorable in service

I'm convinced now that there is no rock bottom for Trump supporters.

I never thought there was, it's like, how low can we go.

Chris Cantwell has stated more people will die, there is now a warrant out for his arrest. He is crying over it, not such a tough guy now. I wonder if he will have a cell by himself till he can get bail? Wonder if he will wear one of his cute little tshirts?

they keep repeating the lie that slaves was the only reason the south resisted

they ignore the fact that our great republic was born of rebelllion against oppression and tyranny

It should be noted that Lee was slated to be hung for treason when US Grant saved his ass and gave him a reprieve.
Under US law Lee was considered a treasonous criminal and a traitor to his country.

This is bullshit.

Was Lee a white supremacist, or not?

Not.

Would he have been hanged as a traitor were it not for Grant's intervention?
Apples and oranges are both fruit.[/QUO

No.

[philly rabbit]

The iron-clad case had been made that he was a traitor and a military enemy to our nation, to the United States of America.
Only Grant's magnanimous reprieve saved Lee's traitorous ass from the gallows.

You're lying. The confederacy was never convicted of treason in a court of law ... never.

[philly rabbit]

They were all traitors to the United States of America...
That is my nation ...so they were our enemies, in no uncertain terms.

Were they ever convicted of treason in a court of law?

In fact .. did the confederacy ever get it's day in court after the military accused them of treason?

[Русский агент]

they are bent on rewriting the history after they tear down the physical proof of the south, no doubt

WTF are you babbling about? It's a core issue of how the US gov't views Confederate soldiers.
Nothing to do w/Trump

( the links above are edited. The first goes more into the C flag and the 2nd then goes into opinion.
the sources say the same about the law)

He's turned sub-Deshian!

You should be hung, drawn and quartered.
