Is it your testimony here that the U.S. constitution does NOT include references to slavery, or is that just the impression you would like to leave with the unsuspecting?
Yes, but after the War Lincoln decided we should all be Americans again... Robert E Lee was allowed to keep his sword and his men were not further humiliated in defeat. Today’s democrats would have kicked Lee and pissed on him. Thank God modern democrats weren’t around back then...

“The generous terms offered to General Lee by General Grant did much to ease tensions among the Confederates. Provided with rations by the Federals, they signed their paroles and began making their long trips home.”
The only way to stop democrat haters is to totally destroy the democrat party. Vote everyone of them out of office...
“With malice toward none, with charity for all”
after 750,000 dead, a peace was established.
Those who continue to harp that the War Figures are traitors have no place in Lincoln’s America. They reject the Reconciliation.
Includes the talking heads, the Commie rioters, and some of the posters on here.
The trouble was, a peace could have been established with no casualties. There was no need for such a horrible war.

Are you familiar with the term "Waving the bloody shirt." ? Yeah, people still do that.
meanwhile, some guy I am acquainted with from Brown Univ who just graduated from UVA Law is on the web weeping about R.E. Lee being a symbol of hate.
How about William Marcy, Brown 1808, NY politician, ran for president 1852, pro-slavery. Marcy House, Freshman dorm, still named after him.
And what about Lewis Cass. Pro-slavery. from Michigan. get his statue out of the US Capitol !!!
There are people in positions of influence in the regular media and the social media who are trying to trigger a "preference cascade."
They know people are dumb, and so they use the most easily identifiable people they can find to use as the face of their propaganda. George Washington was also a slave owner from Virginia, as was Thomas Jefferson.
Problem is, they would get nowhere trying to gen up hatred against Washington and Jefferson, so they look for an easier scapegoat to generate their hate.
We are all being manipulated by forces in control of the communication infrastructure so as to benefit Democrats in the next election.
It's what they do, and I used to think it was a consequence of personal bias on the part of the people they hire. (Group think.)
In the last year or so I began to believe that the media is liberal precisely because it benefits the political and economic interests of their owners, who make a lot of money from excessive government spending and a failure to balance the budget.
JACKSONville? Like in Jesse Jackson?
when the war and depression comes, higher education will fade due to lack of funding. And the wealthy will change their tune when their country is severely damaged.
it is luxury for middle America
the state college near me, the students tend to work full-time and take about 3 classes at a time and graduate in 7 years.
they hate activism cuz they are too busy and find it a campus annoyance
