The simplicity of their thought process is somewhat embarrassing, and reflects poorly on rural educations.So I assume since you see the evidence is so clear that the Civil War was over slavery...you think just calling them Democrats is supposed to let Conservatives off the hook?
I didn't know exactly where to put this......I have Stephen Crowder in my youtube feed and this video about a visit to a Civil War historical center points out....yes...the democrat party controlled Southern states left the Union because of slavery........they stated so in their documents and speeches when they left the Union....
The slavery issue comes up at the 1:30 mark.
Lincoln fired on Fort Sumpter? How did he pull that off?Lincoln started the civil war over the economy. HE FUCKING SAID SO.
The Civil War was over slavery bro..New Jersey was the last state north of the Mason Dixon line to outlaw slavery barely a decade before the Civil War. Lincoln is celebrated for "holding the Union together" but the fact is that the Union fell apart under his watch and he did nothing to prevent it. Racist mobs in New York lynched every black person they could find to the nearest light post during the "draft riots" of 1862.
"If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that.What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear..." - Abraham LincolnThe Civil War was over slavery bro..

The Civil War was over slavery bro......I don't care what Lincoln was for or against..."If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that.What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear..." - Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln's view of ''saving the Union' was to invalidate original intent.
He was a strong Hamiltonian who supported a strong centralized government. He didn't care about slavery.
In the future, you should if you can, build a time machine...and then go back to the 1860's and tell all of those confederate states to stop saying they are fighting the Civil War over slavery...Alright, then.
Have a nice day.
Compromise? He offered them slavery forever. And they still didnt come back. So lincoln started fucking with them.The Civil War was over slavery bro......I don't care what Lincoln was for or against...
I mean, they tried to make a compromise and let the South keep their slaves, but that wasn't good enough..it was almost as if, it was about the slavery bro.....thru out the western expansion, they wanted more slavery bro...
Nope, the Confederates were just pissed because they didn't want to establish the precedent that Congress can make laws about slavery.....Compromise? He offered them slavery forever. And they still didnt come back. So lincoln started fucking with them.
I never claimed they didnt secede over slavery.Nope, the Confederates were just pissed because they didn't want to establish the precedent that Congress can make laws about slavery.....
Again....all you have to do is find me a single Secession letter that said "Hey bro, this isn't over slavery" -- because all I keep reading is shit like what this guy said..

Abraham Lincoln...the first Republican President.I already made this point years ago...on this very message board...and the main people disagreeing with me up and down about it were -- you guessed it -- Conservatives....you know, people like you......
So I assume since you see the evidence is so clear that the Civil War was over slavery...you think just calling them Democrats is supposed to let Conservatives off the hook?
Cool....can you name me any prominent Conservatives back then who opposed the states' right to own slaves?? I'll wait...
BTW-slavery was just a symptom of the States Rights argument. Most Southerners didn't own slaves but most supported succession because they didn't want the strong central government that would be necessary to abolish slavery.By the way, the way most of us find these Neo-Confederate arguments trying to deflect from the fact that the war was over slavery -- we will be saying the same thing about "the election was stolen" folks...
One lost cause strategy after another....
