Hegseth defends returning Confederate monument to Arlington National Cemetery

[OODA_Loop]

These are the memorials that should have been erected after the Civil War.
Towns and cities throughout the south should have celebrated the freedom of 40 percent of their population…….NOT those who fought to keep them as slaves

Davis was right

Those who still support those principles had been hiding in the shadows.
Today, they proudly display their face

Those who support the principals of Constitutional due process? You betcha.

Slaves never received due process
Neither did blacks in a Jim Crow south

They did. And the Constitutional rule of law and Federal law was they were slaves.

Putting monuments to the enemies of the nation in the national cemetery.

What's next? Statues of hitler?

I agree, we should let them remove and destroy every piece of history that references slavery, in 100 years, slavery will have never existed because we would have erased it from our pubic view.

Grats democrats!

Very true…

1857 Dred Scott v. Sandforddecision, declaring that blacks, enslaved or free, were not U.S. citizens and had no right to sue in federal court, famously stating they "had no rights which the white man was bound to respect"

Even after the 13th and 15th amendments gave black Americans Constitutional protections, southern states just ignored those rights and denied the right to vote, due process and equal protection

 

[ThisIsMe]

The inscription on the statute implies that the confederacy had the proper moral cause in the war.

Which is to enslave people.

It’s a memorial to white supremacy.

Yep, a reminder every day of the dark stain on our country, but a motivation to do better.


But I agree, let’s just remove every piece of evidence and reminders that slavery ever existed, and soon it will have been forgotten…..

Our history of slavery needs to be preserved.
It is an undeniable stain on our country

Today, we have Trump trying to whitewash our history and has ordered the Smithsonian to remove any references that make our country look bad

Abolitionists didn't have the rule of law or the political support..........so they started terrorist action and to ignore the law.

Southrons said "then were out" - there is no Constitutional compact.

WTF are you babbling about his time?

No one has suggested anything like that.

Abolitionists did not have the rule of law behind them

But they held the moral high ground that slavery was evil.
Over time, they convinced the public and government eventually gave in and those laws were changed

Only after provocation into war at Ft. Sumter and decimation of the South.

Very true
The south paid a heavy price for seceding

If they had remained in the union, slavery would have probably been gone in 20-30 years and they would have been compensated.

Secession led to slavery being gone in four years with no compensation

It was the South that pushed for a revised history of the Civil War.
They pushed a Lost Cause view of the war. It was not over slavery, it was states rights.
Slaves were not treated that badly.
Lee, Stonewall and Davis were heroes while Grant and Sherman were villains

States Rights in the context of Constitutionality and rule of law.

10th Amendment.

Leftards will say the most retarded shit and stand by it, no matter HOW ******* retarded it makes them look.

THey are utterly soulless sociopaths.

You are such a MAGAT, your eyes are orange. maga is dying a slow death.

10th Amendment.

It all comes down to slavery
The issue of slavery had been brewing for 40 years and came to a boil with the election of Lincoln

States Rights came down to a states right to allow slavery

10th Anendment was a states authority to allow slavery.
