Understanding the motive of the Confederacy and appreciating what the Confederates did is really an American thing....you wouldn’t get it bud...and frankly you’re not suppose to.
I understand their motivations perfectly well.
Some rich assholes wanted to keep owning black people, and some poor assholes didn't want those black folks to compete for their jobs and fuck their women.
They were true fuckups, and the sooner we teach little Southern Children this is something they need to be REALLY ASHAMED OF, the better.
