I don’t agree with slavery, it should have been abolished. It’s an abomination.
I also don’t agree with destroying history, or those monuments that force an ideology that the US civil war was all about slavery. It wasn’t all about slavery. Most of those that fought on both sides fraught for reasons other than slavery. Most of the soldiers in the south never even owned slaves.
Re-opening the wounds of the civil war will NOT lead to better healing. It will no enlighten those ignorant to the causes behind the war in the first place, slavery being only one of them. It will NOT strengthen the nation and it will NOT drive bigotry and racism from people hearts.
More Obama racial garbage, the division of the people of America into groups, instead of all being Americans with a history. The great divider and his minions continue a plan that IMHO weakens the nation, results in violence, and addresses none of the problems facing the people trying employ or stay employed.
It’s almost as if Obama hates America and wants to fundamentally transform her.
‘Most of the soldiers in the south never even owned slaves.’
completely irrelevant; they were fodder for their politicians, who certainly made no secret of their intentions backing secession...to the extent that they benefitted the confederate cause they were aiding the extension and continuance of slavery...
‘It will no enlighten those ignorant to the causes behind the war in the first place, slavery being only one of them.’
there was one cause of the actual war, without which there would not have been any war; secession...if you need any enlightenment of the reasons backing secession, read the declarations of cause for the states of SC, GA, TX, and MS...
