And what if YOU had lived in the DEEP SOUTH and got a draft notice? You would have joined the SOUTHERN CAUSE or ended up like these Yankees in the South at that time! The GREAT HANGING at GAINSVILLE TX

A measure to bar confederate flags from cemeteries run by the Department of Veterans Affairs was removed from legislation passed by the House early Thursday.
The flag ban was added to the VA funding bill in May by a vote of 265-159, with most Republicans voting against the ban. But Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) both supported the measure. Ryan was commended for allowing a vote on the controversial measure, but has since limited what amendments can be offered on the floor.

Calm down. Take your pill and get over yourself.
Are you aware of the northerners who ran the slave trade from Africa? Slaves were captured by blacks and sold to the Arabs who then sold the slaves to northerners who transported them to the Islands. There they offloaded the slaves and picked up rum and sugar to take back up north. The lucky slaves escaped that fate. They were taken to the US.
The north was up to its eyeballs in the slave trade.
Wow. Stand Watie! We had a FReeper here years ago named Stand Watie. I wonder if he is still around?
Zotted many years ago.
I just searched for Stand Watie. He abruptly stopped posting September 3, 2009. Here is his last post:
that figures. crude garbage (like you, for example) generally has no sense of SHAME.
be GONE, as DECENT people (especially ladies & children) don’t want to be exposed to your STUPIDITY & arrogant VULGARITY. (i also note that when you showed up on this thread, most people LEFT. that should tell you something about how other FReepers see your moronic antics.)

Oh my, maybe he got banned? That’s a shame. He was an interesting poster.
Why would traders go to the north, when the predominant source of them was from the south?
I smell excuse making and hiding behind oh, he was worse than me.
Fine, you found one book that was all effusive about it.
That’s the point. You don’t have a deep body of sources.
Americans can understand and appreciate the concept of a State gaining independence from a Union.... so long as it isn't one of our states.
I don’t take pills and down need them and I’ve been off the sauce for 26 years. It’s you who need meds. You and the rest of your Confederate buddies need to get over the fact The Civil War ended one hundred and fifty one years ago and your side lost. Shut up already.
I didn’t find it funny you stinking piece of Confederate trash.
I'm not sure what you are asking. South of them?
Why would traders go to the north? Are you talking about the ships going to Massachusetts to bring sugar and rum?
When the slaves were sold the ships were loaded with sugar and rum. They went north to Boston because that is where the market was. That is where they sold their sugar and rum. That is where the molasses was made.
If I don't understand the question, ask again.

Slaves came from southern regions with respect to the north. A ship traveling from a slave kidnaping area (why, oh God, are we even trying to justify this?) would be at southern latitudes first before reaching northern ones. Why carry a slave destined for the south, up north first? Even if other cargo was going north later on the same ships?
“Them” means the slaves and an ounce of common sense would have told you that was what I meant.
And even if such a circuitous route took place, that does not excuse the South. It could have made itself inhospitable to the business the moment it wanted, and then the middlemen would be left hanging in the wind. The final customer is what makes it all possible.
If the South rose again, and planned to make white men into slaves, the Obama administration would supply tanks, small arms, and nuclear weapons.
If a sacrifice is made for what is genuinely righteous, God marks it.
This is one of the differences between Christianity and utilitarianism. Obviously, Christianity can’t be something merely ginned up by men if it is to have credibility here. But martyrdoms followed by precipitous church growth have been the pattern since the stoning of Stephen.
[Shudder]
Racism is sad, and will turn back on those who lean on it the hardest. The whole idea of Christ was to give humanity a chance that did not depend on membership in any race except being in the human race. Racism was a fly that made the perfume of American faith stink.
WE SHALL OVERCOME!!!!
The only way to overcome this kind of evil is through a joint allegiance to the blessings of the Lord.
Democrats have been so wicked. They have set themselves up to be gods and even so with money that they have stolen from us, too! God’s patience will not last much longer, I believe, with them. Perhaps the trump of God is having a metaphorical embodiment.
