Or its just another case of overblown hysterics by the left. More phoney outrage about a stupid flag, and a fantasy that a bunch of racists were conspiring to insult black people. But once again, the facts stand in the way of the progressive narrative.
You are somewhat right though, us conservatives always catch a break, because the facts are always on our side.
Must suck to be a progressive shitstain.
Can you be proud of the flag flying after the massacre? Can you be proud of that flag?
Why would I be proud of a flag that I have nothing to do with?
Just because I don't buy into phoney outrage that makes me proud?
The only reason this is a story is so progressive shitstains can ***** and complain and accuse everyone who doesn't agree with them of being racists.
You must then betotally ignorant of the meaning of that flag. What it means to the African Americans who are terrorized by it and the meaning of the White Suprmacists who continue to glorify it.
The Confederate flag brought death to far more white people than it did to blacks. Despite attempts by progressives to rewrite history, blacks were not freed by black slaves overcoming their masters, or by their struggle. It was accomplished by white people fighting other white people.
If anyone should be offended by a Confederate flag, it should be descendants of Union soldiers that were in that war.
The civil war was won because the Southerners are a crappy army and as a result the slaves were freed and BTW the civil was was fought for much more than ending slavery.
What caused the civil war?
There were many causes of the civil war, including differences between northern and southern states on the idea of slavery, as well as trade, tariffs, and states rights. The lazy lowlife Christian Southerner thought that it was their right to own other human beings. That's all state's rights meant to them.
Lincoln did the South a favor by invading. Had Lincoln not occupied the South the slaves would have rebelled like they did in Haiti and killed off all the Christian slave owning pigs. Had that happened the American gene pool would be purged of the white trash gene.
Wow, what a garbage post that one is, and I am a Yankee from New York State.
The crappy Southern Army you posted about happened to be led by two of the most talented warriors in American history, Robert E. Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson later replaced by James Longstreet. Routinely and consistently outnumbered, the Army of Northern Virginia, out fought the Army of the Potomac consistently until July 1-3, 1863 at Gettysburg, ending their second invasion of the North, the first ended in a bloody battle that was a draw in 1862 in Sharpsburg, Maryland (also known as the Battle of Antietam). Losing 27,000 soldiers at Gettysburg, Lee had to withdraw back into Virginia, suffering his first defeat ever to Union forces, where his army would continue to fight and bloody the Northern forces for two more horrendous years of warfare. Such was the "crappy" fighting ability of Lee's army, numbering at its greatest strength, 80,000 men, against the North's 100,000, and that was just in the Eastern theater of the war.
To win the war, the North had to invade, conquer and control the vast American Southern territory composed of what they called the Confederate States of America.
To win the war, the South had only to defend their territory, and bloody the Northern armies to such an extent, and hang on for as long as it took, for the American public in the North to tire of the war, and demand a peace settlement, allowing the Confederates to go their own way - leaving slavery intact.
Slavery is the first and foremost cause of the America Civil War. It dominated our entire political landscape from the time the Constitution was written, until the Southern states seceded in 1861. Tariffs, manufacturing, fishing, industrial strength, and manpower, all favored the North. None of these latter things caused the American Civil War. It was the South firing on Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor, a Federal fort, and seizing Federal property throughout the South, that led to force of arms, and Lincoln's decision to hold the Confederate states in the Union by force.
Although the coming industrial revolution probably would have led to the elimination of slavery, what were Southern landowners with slaves going to do with them, when machines like the cotton gin could do the work of 100 slaves in the field? However, it the entire history of slavery in America, there are very, very few incidents of slave uprisings occurring in the South. Southern landowners with slaves did not register their birth's; sold them without warning breaking up families; hung them for trying to escape and refused to teach them to read and write because that creates ideas.
One slave uprising in Virginia actually scared Southern landowners so badly, that they sent to the West Indies for one of the most ruthless, murdering slave master - Thomas Lynch. His methods of putting down slave revolts and uprisings, and he did so on numerous Southern plantations, was so brutal, that the term "lynching" is actually named after him.
President Lincoln did America a favor by saving the Federal Union at great cost in blood. He didn't interfere with slavery when he became President; he didn't attempt to end slavery as President. But he did insist that the states only became states once they had joined the Federal Union with the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, and that was where state's right's came from. Once in, they couldn't dissolve the Union and Lincoln's legal opinion about that was absolutely correct. That the war, fought mostly by Whites to free enslaved Blacks, ended slavery in America, and allowed Lincoln to pass the 13th Amendment outlawing slavery and involuntary servitude in 1865, was the result. Although large number's of former slaves enriched the Union Army recruitment quotas, it was the white American's who fought the war to free them, also enriched by thousand's and thousand's of Irish; Italian; Polish; German immigrants, who came to America seeking freedom. No slave population in the Southern Confederacy was ever capable of overthrowing their white master's by force, ever.................get your bigoted facts straight..............
