Are you ashamed of your heritage?

... A man who felt his honor had been damaged would challenge another man to a duel and show up on the day, even if he was certain he was going to die. ...

Well, not usually.

 

[longly]

Well, not usually.

Much depended on the social class a person was born into. In many aristocratic families, children were raised and indoctrinated into a strict code of honor. A man was expected to show respect, courage, and self‑discipline; if he failed to demonstrate these qualities, his own family might turn their backs on him. He could be rejected socially, denied business, and treated as someone unworthy of association. Even speaking respectfully to a lady of the same class could be taken as an insult serious enough to provoke a duel. In other words, anyone who failed to uphold the code became a social pariah. Not everyone lived up to these expectations—some men ran away in disgrace.

I mean not usually because most of the time the guys in the duel had no intention of actually hitting each other.

Then the confederates should have thought about that before they declared secession, adopted a constitution that stipulated slavery was their main cause, and fired on Ft. Sumpter.

No, the damn yankees should have thought about that before they started the War that cost at least 800,000 lives.

Slavery was legal. Why shouldn't it have been the main cause? The South did nothing illegal. The damn yankees coming against the South did.

My heritage is Southern. Of which I am not ashamed. I am and won't be reconstructed. I fly the Southern Flag, the Stars and Bars, the Confederate battle flag, etc. etc.

We still exist.

Who cares? This was almost two hundred years ago.
Anyone arguing here should be more concerned with what THEY DO, not anything about their great great great great great grandfather.

You like to put an emoji of 'fake news' because you don't have to back it up. Typical.

Oh, a lot of people care. Especially those who love to demonize the South. Those who love to tear down our flags and statues. They care very much.

But if the Southernor protests, then assholes like you come out and say 'why should anyone care'? Typical liberal yankee bastards.

... yankees ... they started the War ...

WRONG.

You were wrong. You lost. Let it go. Move on.

 

[Quantrill]

WRONG.

Don't say 'wrong' without saying how the South started the war.

 

[Quantrill]

You were wrong. You lost. Let it go. Move on.

Typical yankee bullshit. You say we were wrong and then want to move on. Like your word proves everything. Your word proves nothing.

The North started the War. Lincoln and Seward started the War. The South had no reason to start the War. The South was always defending itself from the encroachment of the North.

You would like the Southernor to 'let it go' because you don't have shit to stand on.

This has been hashed out a million times here. If you really don't know, go back to elementary school.

You're late to the party, kid. Go play with the search function.

In other words you have nothing, hoping no one wants to push you to present something. I understand. I see it all the time.

Better late than never. Just pay attention to the posts and questions.

In other words, this has all been covered many, many times here. Go play with the search function. It should keep you busy for a few hours.

In other words you have nothing. I don't care how many times it has been covered. I have covered it many times also. Big shit. It always has to be repeated because silly yankees keep bringing it up. And then they get upset when the Southernor responds.

If you got something, then show it. But you and I both know you got nothing.

Having lived in multiple states, I never actually found anyone who cared in person, only on the internet.
