They have a really blinkered view of history, don't they lol. Even the noble brown skins conquered other people and took slaves. White slaves, in several instances. Even the noble Muslims took slaves from Europe. The men were either castrated or worked to death while the women were made into sex slaves. Here in the US, The Navaho fought the Iroquois and the Apache fought them both.

The white folks of the time were doing pretty much what everyone else at the time was doing. They're biggest sin was/is they were more efficient at it than most. But contemporary liberals sit in the comfort of their computer chairs and morally condemn people for doing what, they themselves no doubt, would have done under the same historical circumstances.

And if they can't prove otherwise, we'll all understand, lol.
 
While perusing the GOP 1860 Platform, I found something interesting. Historians have always joked about how, after the causes of abolition and union, the post-Reconstruction GOP went looking for a new big cause, and settled on reforming the civil service. Well...

And who among us can read this without blinking?

Yes, but you have in the past made the argument that because Republicans were on the side of the African Americans in the past, and Democrats were not... that must be the same as now....


But alas, you don't agree with the Republicans of the past! Interesting!

No. I have said your side has tried to whitewash its racist past.

You are making a blanket statement. I think slavery was a horrible thing. I just don't think a war should have been fought to end it. It would have ended if it's own accord for many reasons.

I think Booth was a hero who didn't act soon enough

If the left condemn these wars then we must give back california texas florida and other states to mexico and the american indians. maybe taking out half of the gdp of the us in the process.
 
LOL @ literally justifying yourself by "might makes right". When Israel inevitably weakens and the Arabs conquer it and kill every one of them, oh well, it's a war right? Too bad, so sad.
