Are you ashamed of your heritage?

[rightwinger]

I Post an article about Blacks Fighting on the side of The South, which is loaded with Documented Evidence, & You with Your shoe size IQ, call me a Racist.

You never grew out of Your Grade School, Playground Mentality did You.

And I'm willing to bet that before You ejaculated Your "Fecal oriented Comment" that You didn't even bother to Check out My Profile.I'm not a "Racist", in fact,... I have several Black Friends, who are Wonderful, Common Sense Filled, Patriotic, Hard Working, GOD Fearing Brother & Sisters who are Capable of "Critical Thinking",..... Unlike Your Sorry Self.

Enslaved Black people with Confederate armies​

• Tens of thousands of enslaved Black men were forced to accompany Confederate units.
• They worked as laborers, cooks, teamsters, servants, body servants, and builders of fortifications.
• They were not soldiers: they were not legally enlisted, did not receive equal pay, and were not recognized as combat troops.

Free Black Southerners​

• A small number of free Black men supported the Confederacy in limited ways, often under pressure or to protect family or property.
• There is no solid evidence they served in significant numbers as armed Confederate soldiers.

Confederate policy on Black soldiers​

• For most of the war, the Confederacy explicitly forbade arming Black men, because doing so contradicted slavery.
• Only in March 1865, when defeat was nearly certain, did the Confederacy authorize Black enlistment.
• Very few were recruited, and there is no evidence they fought in battle before the war ended.

Slavery was not the initial cause of the Civil War.

Slavery was the sole cause of the Civil War
WIthout slavery, there would be no war

 

[gipper]

The South attacked Ft Sumter

A stupid thing to do

Lol. Again with the sixth grade government school propaganda.

STOP LYING LIKE DON!

Once again showing how stupid the South was in listening to the war hawks and thinking they could actually win

Attacking a U.S. fort is an act of war
Did they really think the U.S. would not respond?

They were college students who attacked Fort Sumter, so probably not.

Lincoln chose war. The south wanted to peacefully separate. Your boy Dishonest Abe said **** off and die. Why would you support a mass murdering traitor?

Lincoln chose to save the Union

A union fractured by slave owning southerners afraid they would lose free labor.

They were led by Gen Beauregard at the request of the S Carolina legislature
A stupid action that provoked a war

It's counterproductive to be ashamed of history. We need to learn from it but not wallow in it. On the other hand, I see quite a few things that today's Democrats are doing that embarrass this country.

He knows that. He’s just playing dumb. He’s good at that.

Indeed he is.

Yes you can be ashamed of slavery
A nation built to preserve slavery is not something worthy of honor

 

[Quantrill]

Slavery was not the initial cause of the Civil War.

Slavery was not the only cause, but it by far was the cause that provoked both sides to war. It is the one that fueled the fires.

I have been to Ft Sumter. Saw the National Park version of what happened and why.

I came away wondering…..What were they thinking?

The fort was no immediate threat. No urgency on why you couldn’t negotiate a transfer.
Just leave it, allow soldiers to visit Charleston, supply them with food and provisions to show good faith

Attacking was an act of war that the South could not win

Stupid

All causes lead to slavery

Without slavery, there would be no war

Explain why the "Emancipation Proclamation" was enacted after the Civil War started & not before.

 

[rightwinger]

Explain why the "Emancipation Proclamation" was enacted after the Civil War started & not before.

Because it was targeted at insurgents taking arms against the US

So since you were at Ft Sumter…you know Lincoln set up events at Ft Sumter to justify an invasion of the South. So you know all other federal facilities in the seceding states transferred peacefully. So you know the South offered Lincoln full payment for acquiring federal facilities and their portion of the federal debt.

You know all this yet persist in pushing statist propaganda. Why?

 

[Zincwarrior]

Again, changing the Constitution stopped slavery. Not the secession of the Southern States.

In other words, the Emancipation Proclamation was bullshit Lincoln, and Lincoln planned for the war.

I agree.

Quantrill

Why do you care? You only post about the Civil War. That was 200 years ago. Your ancestors got their asses kicked. Who cares? My ancestors got their asses kicked all across Western and Central Europe and the US after kicking the asses of others. Who cares?
My ancestors owned slaves and fought Comanches. Who cares? Did yours? Who cares?

WHAT DO YOU DO?

You came away uninformed and still wondering. You probably got the silly Northern version they still teach in schools, if they teach it at all.

Is it stupid to defend yourself.
