Why would any american figure he/she gets anything to say about what goes down in Germany?
To Fenton Lum: From the same place every parasite freak in the world gets to mouth off about this country.
Where is Hitler on display at in Berlin?
To Asclepias: Lighten up. Get with the premise.
I see every reason. Thats why they are getting torn down.
To Asclepias: They are being torn down to appease every envious loser who were never slaves. Ninety-nine percent of the mouths are not even descended from slaves. Most of the true descendants are doing real well at the public trough today.
I don't recall the revolution being fought to maintain slavery.
To TheOldSchool: Nor was it fought to abolish slavery (cheap labor). It was fought for INDEPENDENCE —— the very thing you and your kind would surrender to global government in a heartbeat.
The official reason for the war was to maintain slavery as far as the southern losers were concerned. Personal objectives are not a reason overlooking the official reason.
To Asclepias: Wrong again.
The fact is that Lincoln saw the Constitution impeding his will. Naturally, the Civil War would have been unnecessary had the South surrendered their Rights instead of defending them.
Americans celebrate Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, but H.L. Mencken correctly evaluated the speech, "It is poetry not logic; beauty, not sense." Lincoln said that the soldiers sacrificed their lives "to the cause of self-determination -- government of the people, by the people, for the people should not perish from the earth."
Mencken says: "It is difficult to imagine anything more untrue. The Union soldiers in the battle actually fought against self-determination; it was the Confederates who fought for the right of people to govern themselves."
