Forget modern Marxist ‘interpretations’ of the Civil War and just READ the Articles of Confederation.
The whole thing is about slavery—period.
“just READ the Articles of Confederation”
I’m confused...wasn’t that circa 1777?
Very few Southerners owned slaves, less than 2%. Why would the common people fight and die to defend slavery?
Uh dude, the "Articles of Confederation" were ratified in 1781, and were the predecessor of the US Constitution. They governed the UNION, not the Confederacy.
Now a few words from Lincoln’s buddy Karl Marx. How many communists from Europe, the “Forty-Niners” you think fought for Lincoln? Thousands and thousands of communists and marxists fought in the Union Army and many were top generals.
“.....the war of the United States is nothing but a war for the forcible maintenance of the Union. The Yankees cannot make up their minds to strike fifteen stars from their standard. They want to cut a colossal figure on the world stage. Yes, it would be different if the war was waged for the abolition of slavery! The question of slavery, however, as The Saturday Review categorically declares among other things, has absolutely nothing to do with this war.” ~ Karl Marx, October 25, 1861
Imagine this:
The US Federal government set on enacting strict gun control in violation of current law creates a plan to bring Guam, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands in to full voting States, in the USA. The votes just aren’t there any other way, and these States would tip the balance.
Payoffs (Federal aid and tax breaks) are planned to the new States. The new States (politicians) all agree to vote against the second amendment and prohibit personal gun ownership.
The Federal government sets the ball rolling, but the plan gets out. Texas and Wyoming secede based on the anti-gun wave coming. Other States follow, and 6 months later Civil War II breaks out, when the Federal government positions ships to block the port of Houston/Galveston. (Gun control is stressed in the secession documents of all the states.)
Is the cause of Civil War II gun control? or Federal over-reach?
