Were the Confederates traitors

[Unkotare]

You didn't answer the question. Why are you identifying with dead people from 160 years ago and not your fellow citizens?

I was in the Navy some 50 years ago. When the southern boys got together, it seems all they talked about was the Civil War.

Seems things haven’t changed much.

Here’s a suggestion: You lost, give it up.

I am a Southerner, a Texan. I was wrapped up in the Lost Cause Southern Pride crap in high school. Then I became older, moved around outside of the South and realized absolutely no one gave a shit.

I was IN the south some 20 years ago, on and off for a few years.


Never heard it brought up at all.


Did see one old guy who wore a hat with a confederate flag on it, and his famly warned us not to talk to hm about it, because he was very hot on the issue. No details beyond that. A patient.

You missed Quantrill's post 596
"Just let the blacks bring up the past in order to play the victim and be able to tear down the Souths flags and monuments. So stupid."

Even that isn't near as bad as rw was talking.

Nothing wrong with dismissing the whining of libs, though it is sad that he hasn't noticed it is mostly white libs that are leading this charge, not actual blacks.

Celebrating the Confederacy is celebrating slavery

Celebrating the Confederacy is celebrating slavery

No one is celebrating teh confederacy.

To the topic, I will nuance my opinion:
1) Legislature's that voted to secede? Definitely traitors.
2) Officers that gave up their US commissions to fight for the CSA? Traitors.
3) Private Johnny Reb that was drafted to serve? No.

In several Southern states, June 3rd - the birthday of the leader of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis - is still an official holiday.

What about those Southerners who took up arms AGAINST the traitorous “confederates”?

John Brown was a Patriot fighting for Liberty and Freedom

First to Die for DEI

He was hanged because, as history has proved, what he really fought for was welfare, Affirmative Action, and crime.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Yes, you just revealed your real intent and mindset. Good job bro. Keep that hood in the closet when neighbors come.

And you can keep your Antifa black mask in your own closet

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

I see no one will answer my question about where did they hang John Browns co-conspirators in their attack upon Virginia? As I said, they should have been hung just like they hung John Wilkes Booth's co-conspirators.

A certain group supporting and helping John Brown were called the 'Secret Six'. But alas, at Harpers Ferry Brown had all their names written down which was found among his stuff. Thus their secret was out.

They were: 1.) George Luthor Sterns, 2.) Gerrit Smith, 3.) Thomas Wentworth Higginson, 4.) Samuel Gridley Howe, 5.) Theodore Parker, 6.) Franklin B. Sanborn

1.) George Luthor Sterns--" He was chairman of the Massachusetts Committee which provided arms and other supplies to the anti-slavery elements. He was a financial backer of John Brown's activities and fled to Canada after the Harpers Ferry raid. Returning shortly, he testified before a Congressional committee that it was among the greates events of this age. Following the election of Lincoln, which he had supported, in December 1861 he became the treasurer of the Emancipation League..." (Who Was Who in the Civil War, Stewart Sifakis, Facts On FilePublications, 1988, p. 618)

How about that? Sterns felt the noose around his neck, rightfully so, and got the hell out of there to Canada. Then his people came to power, he returned singing a different song. Harpers Ferry was a great event of this age, he said. And he was rewarded a noteable position.

Co-conspirator with Brown in treason. Instead of being hung, he was rewarded. The traitors were now in power. Sterns was safe.

"Rebels Without a Cause" Is a Big Lie

One of the reasons LBJ escalated the Vietnam War was that he was afraid that Southerners would start another war here about Civil Rights for the Uncivilized, and that a war overseas would channel their desire to fight. Lincoln's Secretary of State had suggested the same thing: picking a fight with Spain or France so that the two sections would unite behind that. Almost-history can repeat itself as actual history.
