No matter how they try to twist and turn, they CANNOT escape the plain and simple fact that it was the racism of these Old Dixie people that caused them to setup the Confedaracy and subsequently Jim Crow, the same ideology continues today in many forms.Sounds noble, but they still profited off of that slave economy that was the overwhelming majority of Southern GDP
Those noble farmers eagerly joined a Confederacy built to ensure slavery…..The “Cornerstone” of their nation.
They came home, enacted strict Jim Crow Laws and joined the Klan to keep their newly freed negro neighbors in line
We can see some of this in the rhetoric spewed by many, if not all, MAGATs on this very forum.
