Of course I don’t assume that. You guys assume everyone born north of Maryland is a liberal wanker.
You guys just seem to forget that the south had slaves. Just because your family did not, doesn’t make defense of the government that upheld it right.
And the arguments that it would have petered out are just obscene. How long, exactly, is petered out, or withered away?
Slavery is and was indefensible. While it may still take place in Africa, I am proud that my great grandfather and his family took a walk south and stopped it. You can be proud that your people defended their homes...I get that. But please do not pretend to be proud of defending slavery.
I guess in the end, that is all the CSA folks need to admit—and most folks could agree with the states rights thing.
“Slavery is and was indefensible.”
True. Let the Confederacy be judged for chattel slavery, the norm when it was adopted, and let the Union be judged for abortion, a radical abomination from case law and a selfish culture.
54 million since Rove v. Wade.
Hurrah for the Union, hurrah boys, hurrah.
“But please do not pretend to be proud of defending slavery.”
I won’t if you won’t.
Only a liberal bigot from the North assumes the South was the only one with slavery and was defending it while the north was fighting to get rid of it. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The north did not in any way start or fight the war to end slavery. In fact, you yankee bigots claim the south started the war, so how could the north have possibly fought it to end slavery? I mean, is that an admission the north was about to invade the south to end slavery, because according to you bigots the south wasn’t going to end it so the north had to.
