Why Does A Northeastern Yankee like Myself Hold Such A Strong Bond With The South?

Well, I notice that you are more upset about being gay than anyone else on this site is about you calling them gay. How's that working out for you?
 
We here in God's country find your irrational fear of us useful, insomuch as it keeps you out. More of this greatness for us.

Sure, there were plenty of Irish who fought on both ides. I'm not sure where you're going with this but that war wasn't fought over slavery and the Irish didn't discriminate because of the aristocratic planters class, the slave owners.

My post was about the Scots Irish and not the War For Southern independence per say except to mention that the Scots Irish made up the brunt of the Confederate army. Knowing that these people were poor to middle class farmers and merchants and were generally not part of the planters should suggest that they were not fighting to preserve the planters slaves or for the planters nor either were the Irish confederates.

In Oklahoma then called Indian Territory, there was an entire Confederate army made up of Indians and being led by a confederate Indian general who weren't fighting for the rich planters either.

I think it's hilarious that Philly got flushed down the toilet and came down the pipes into the waste depository that is the South.

The south should secede from PCTD territory and his girlfriend, Darla.

Let these secular collectivist socialists have the crap hole U.S.A

They hate the southerners, have kept them economically disadvantaged for generations on purpose, have used them as door boys to shovel in all their illegal alien Democratic voting bloc Hispanics .. something they would never do to a northeastern state, used them as their agricultural colonists, kept their wages down on purpose, left their lands desolate on purpose, and used them as racist punching bags in order to hide their own racist, slaver past.

No southerner should ever have to be forced to admit that PCTD or Darla are their supposed countrymen.

The south has it's own cultural identity and it's own national identity and has all the resources it needs plus a population large enough to sustain itself and with free trade, it can obtain all it's other necessities from foreign countries.

Any Scots-Irish that fought for their former slavers were duped. The fact is that Many in the South fought for the union and that's the primary reason why the Union won.

So you thought the whole thing was about slavery then.

I strongly disagree with you.

It was about slavery. Many Scot-Irish were conned into thinking it was about Northern aggression by the wealthy, influential slavers who had the legislature vote for secession.

Instead of telling the truth: "Hey, rednecks, who's ancestors we massacred, held as slaves and raped their women and children, fight for us so we can continue to have slaves and fuck toys, just a different color." Like the Democrats they are they lied and said: "Hey, noble warriors, fight for us to save your land and birthright from those bastard Northerners".
 
See Philly, to understand the political history of America you have to understand the political history of the Civil War, then work bacwards and forwards from that point. Democrats since Hamilton lost the argument of having a social elite ruling over the great unwashed who could be easily manipulated into keeping them in power. The Republican form of government won, which allowed an educated and involved legislature to decide public policy. The Democrat side has never given up their dream at destroying Republicanism. They fought it physically during the Civil War and lost. They are still fighting against our Republican form of government now, having succeeded in destroying public education and taking over the elite media.
 
DS, Hamilton was a Federalist, in opposition to the Democrats of his day. The last Federalist was John Marshall, who's final legal battles were against Democrat Andrew Jackson.
 
The Federalists believed that the federal government had all powers that were not denied to it. Hamilton's concept of government gave birth to the modern Democrat Party.
 
That, of course, is bass-ackwards.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Party_(United_States)


The Democratic Party evolved from Anti-Federalist factions that opposed the fiscal policies of Alexander Hamilton in the early 1790s. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison organized these factions into the Democratic-Republican Party. The party favored states' rights and strict adherence to the Constitution; it opposed a national bank and wealthy, moneyed interests. The Democratic-Republican Party ascended to power in the election of 1800.
After the War of 1812, the party's chief rival, the Federalist Party, associated with the disloyalty and parochialism of the Hartford Convention, lost much of the favor it had previously enjoyed, and eventually disbanded in the late 1820s. Democratic-Republicans split over the choice of a successor to President James Monroe, and the party faction that supported many of the old Jeffersonian principles, led by Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, became the Democratic Party.
