The Confederacy was an Evil Empire

[eagle7-31]

For over a hundred and fifty years, the legacy of the Confederacy has been sold as a noble Lost Cause of states defending their states rights.

The reality is that the Confederacy was an Evil Empire. One of the worst nations in the history of mankind.

The Confederacy was built on ensuring that the institution of slavery would exist forever,
The Confederacy kept 40 percent of its population in bondage.
The economy of the Confederacy was built around enforced free labor. Labor enforced by whip and chain.
The Confederacy used women for breeding and then sold the children.
The Confederacy considered human slaves as no more than livestock

By any valuation, this was pure EVIL and should never be defended or honored in todays society.

hard to take anyone seriously about evil who basically condones Stalin and Mao,

No, that's your goal, but you can't get away from YOUR past no matter how hard you try.

What past is that?

Did you see a Confederate statue today that skeered you?

The confederacy still wasn’t an “empire.”

Don't play dumb.

No need to be, just be able to follow along.

Hard to argue with that.

You are, however, dumb. It’s not acting.

 

[MarcATL]

All peoples have an "evil" history.

Let's pretend this is true. Do all peoples CELEBRATE their evil history?

 

[rightwinger]

The confederacy still wasn’t an “empire.”

Yes it was

Think Darth Vader only worse

Name one person who celebrates slavery besides the countries who still practice it.

I'll wait.

Those who celebrate the Evil Empire that was the Confederacy

You cannot separate the Confederacy from the institution of slavery

You got it right. Trump is right there with Stalin and Mao if he gets a chance.

Sure you can.

Same as democrats separate their party from slavery.

 

[rightwinger]

Sure you can.

Same as democrats separate their party from slavery.

There was no need for a Confederacy without slavery
You can’t separate the two

You can’t claim…..Except for slavery, the Confederacy was a good thing

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Sure you can.

Same as democrats separate their party from slavery.

160 years later? Like Goldwater and the entire GOP southern senators and representatives opposed the VA and CRA?

160 years later, DukeU. You are Qanon.

I can claim what I want same as democrats do.
