Deo Vindici!
One flag was lowered yesterday.
One Hundred Thousand will be purchased in the near future because of that.
The communist agenda leftists NEVER think past one step ahead.

This answered many questions that I have had. Thanks for the mind opener.

Do you know who Chuck Baldwin is? What are his sources for this article? I would like to at least know that he knows what he is talking about before I go repeating any of it.

Oops! I posted the same comment twice. Got distracted.
OK, I did. There were fewer than 80,000 slave holders in all the Union states. Where did the other 220,000 come from?
...will not be found in that article.
Good post, and a good reminder of why I maintain the wrong side won the war.
I hope we see freedom again in our lifetimes.

Uh, the Confederate motto was 'deo vindice'. What a moron.
I’d have to research to refute many of the points made in this article but, unfortunately, the southern states did declare slavery as one of reasons for and primary to their sovereignty for secession.
See North Carolina.
Because they didn't trust him. Because they thought slavery would be safer if they had their own country.
The problem was Lincoln wanted the Southern states to pay the Union a 40% tariff on their exports. The South considered this outrageous and refused to pay. By the time hostilities broke out in 1861, the South was paying up to, and perhaps exceeding, 70% of the nation’s taxes. Before the war, the South was very prosperous and productive. And Washington, D.C., kept raising the taxes and tariffs on them. You know, the way Washington, D.C., keeps raising the taxes on prosperous American citizens today.
Tariffs applied to the whole country not one region. Southerners who didn't like the tariff increase could have stayed in Congress and blocked it. The initial increase was from 17% overall (ad valorem), or 21% on dutiable items to about 26% overall or 36% on dutiable items. The tariff went up further later to pay for the war. And no, Southerners weren't paying 70% or more of the nation's taxes in 1860.
Not only did blacks not riot against the whites of the South, many black men volunteered to fight alongside their white friends and neighbors in the Confederate army. Unlike the blacks in the North, who were conscripted by Lincoln and forced to fight in segregated units, thousands of blacks in the South fought of their own free will in a fully-integrated Southern army. I bet your history book never told you about that.
Have you shame? Or no brain? Try reading more than your own lying history book, Chuck.
The crime of the secessionists was to think that they could strip away every Constitutional right of every U.S. citizen living in Southern states and to think that they could strip such citizens of their U.S. citizenship. I have no power to deprive any U.S. citizen of his constitutional rights or citizenship. There should have been some hangings to clarify things, but Lincoln was a softy.
And, the truth is, there are very few people in the South or anywhere who now miss the days of slavery. Slavery is gone forever and it's not coming back.
Sounds fine — with the current will of the people, not as an affirmation of Dixiecrat dominance.
In all the brouhaha over SC, hardly anyone realizes that it was Dixiecrats that put this flag up at that particular location, during a time when they hated black people... and notice, that Democrats STILL hate black people, it’s now through AA and welfare bribery, the soft bigotry of low expectations.
