No I agree with that. Both sides broke agreements and one could argue that we brought civilization and yet one could say they were oppressed too.
there in lies the hypocrisy by mostly those on the left. Selective outrage.
We could go back to the Romans enslaving the Brits.
The fact is that we can all look to find oppression, but in the end people need to get over their offending tactics and stop going by the media frenzy. Tis battle over the battle flag was done 15 years ago and the left agreed and now they use the shooting and dead bodies to further their agenda.
The complicated history of the US flag. Blah,blah, blah. All this over a flag that was official for about 5 years. We must be doing simething right. The establishment is very afraid of the Rebels !

Bingo, attackibg the culture of the founder and builders. They want to take our nation from us. This attack is against America. Not just the south. Plenty of paid off traitors willing to make the deal. The gjvenors of VA,SC, McConnell ect. Power hungry lovers of money.
Margaret Sanger probably marching along with them. Amazing how the Klan was able to get Progressives to do their dirty work. So much so, Klan doesn’t need to organize anymore.
No she isn't, she only thinks she is. Princess Lindsey will get as far as Hillary does.
You mean like the slave holding 13 colonies did when they split from the British union?
If the South had prevailed what would America look like today?
Is this the argument that a drug addicted wife would be better off with her abusive husband whether she likes it or not?
What difference does it make how much better off someone would be, would you still force them to remain? Is their no right to self determination, or must we be forced to comply with the will of others who are more powerful?
Careful how you answer that, because that is exactly what slavery is.
Just wondering.....
Quite a lot.
Read some history yourself. Read about the Trail of Tears.
Now you are just showing your ignorance. That was true of some tribes, but the five civilized tribes, forcibly removed from their land by Andrew Jackson's "Indian Removal act" had farms, houses, stores, towns, blacksmiths, etc.
The Cherokees had their own printing presses and newspapers for crying out loud!
They were oppressed BEFORE the civil war. The five civilized tribes were kicked off their land and forced to march to Oklahoma, there to be put on reservations.
They lost everything. It is reminiscent of how the Jews property was seized by the Nazis, but at least the Oklahoma Reservations were better than the concentration camps.
All of that was done under the Stars and Stripes.
You really ought to stop talking about things of which you have no knowledge. The Indian nations were just that. Separate Nations. Saying "Indians" did this or that, is like saying "Europeans" did this or that. What one Nation of Indians may or may not have done, does not speak for what other Nations did or did not do.
Again, The Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek (Muscogee), and Seminole, were not that far away from Medieval Europe in terms of communities and their organizations. Many of them quickly adopted European customs, appearances, and methodologies.
I think that you have the flag designs mixed up. The first Confederate flag design -— “The Stars and Bars” -— consisted of three broad horizontal stripes (two red, one white) with a blue field in the upper left quadrant and containing embroidered stars to represent the Confederate States. It was easily confused in the heat of battle with the Union Stars and Stripes. Thus a number of different Confederate flag designs emerged. The Army of Northern Virginia under General R.E. Lee adopted the well known battle flag design of crossed blue diagonal stripes on a red background. This is the flag that you erroneously refer to as the “Stars and Bars” but is more commonly known as and referred to in the South as the “Southern Cross”.
About that time a Klansman ran for Gov. of Indiana as “The Klan” candidate. And won!
Yes, I agree with your points.
The village idiot speaks again. Nobody listens to you anymore.
So the Confederacy adopted three flags, and none of them was the "Stars and Bars"? Now why did they need three different flags? Can anyone post images of those three flags?
The Army of Northern Virginia battle flag, BTW, has 13 stars, though the Confederacy only had 11 member states at its peak. From what I've read, at the time the "Stars and Bars were first used, it was anticipated that Kentucky and Missouri would also secede to make 13, but that never officially happened.
And a fine how do you do to you too General.
Hey village idiot, you got those links yet?
