A collection of slave owning states breaking away from a Union, form a Confederacy, and then fight for independence with their Armies led by a slave owning General from Virginia?
Is that embarrassing? That's how this nation was founded.
When's George Washington's statues coming down?
How long before Mount Vernon is burned down?
And Lincoln’s General US Grant who led the northern army, also owned slaves, through his wife’s family
So...
I'm sure that's coming.
But the Civil War was a war of Democrats against the rest of the country, and CW II is shaping up to be the same thing all over again. Sorry if the truth hurts. Not my fault.
What exactly are you trying to say? George Washington was part of the civil war? Your post is confusing
Excuse me. No. That’s not how this nation was founded. Your sentence looks like it could’ve been written by Van Jones of CNN.
The Confederate Constitution explicitly makes clear that slavery is a dominant motivating factor of why it was formed in the first place, and prior to the actual war as much was also said and written by those who formed the Confederacy. Anybody who reads it can see this.
By contrast, even among slave-holding Founders it was considered an embarrassment and an outmoded institution forced on us by generations of monarchs. Jefferson’s torching of the King in the original draft of the Declaration is probably the highest profile example of what the Founders wrote about their ill feelings about slavery, but TJ was hardly alone.
Additionally, words did lead to action. Pennsylvania abolished slavery and the war with Britain wasn’t even over yet.
Point is, going into as well as coming out of independence the Founders were on the opposite side as the Confederacy. There is no equivalency, other than to revisionists such as yourself.
