“I don’t venerate an age; I venerate the truth, and the truth has not been told about the north’s war on Southerners — which continued for generations after the fighting stopped. “
The northern war against the South began as early as the election of Thomas Jefferson, and the Essex Junto’s threat of New England secession. There were decades of hatemongering of the South that predated the outbreak of gunfire, not to mention northern funding for John Brown’s campaign of murder.
The best source for this ante-bellum campaign is Thomas Fleming’s “A Disease in the Public Mind: A New Understanding of Why We Fought the Civil War”. Well worth your time.
Shot in the back.
Sic Semper Tyrannis.
