Don't spin the Civil War

The Civil War is about to loom very large in the popular memory. We would do well to be candid about its causes and not allow the distortions of contemporary politics or long-standing myths to cloud our understanding of why the nation fell apart.

The coming year will mark the 150th anniversary of the onset of the conflict, which is usually dated to April 12, 1861, when Confederate batteries opened fire at 4:30 a.m. on federal troops occupying Fort Sumter. Union forces surrendered the next day, after 34 hours of shelling.

Oh they’re plenty able to explain, it’s just that some folks are finicky about “because” as an answer (followed by a string if insults)...;-)

Sorry took a little long. . . don’t think most would associate songs with the coven. . . but this one is close;

“Bad”

I’m glad you find my life interesting

How do you reconcile all the lies you've been posting?

[cowboyway]

First to call “Godwin’s Law” on the Lost Cause Loser!

Why don't you respond to post# 1090 instead.

[cowboyway]

I win. HaHa....

Wow. It doesn't take much to satisfy the mentally challenged.

Now, why don't you take your prize and go back to your double wide and fry something.

Hey Spike

SpikeFromOhio! Nice, Sunshine!!

How did you like your song, Spike?

It’s hard for fakes to keep their stories straight and past posts always come back to haunt them.

[cowboyway]

However, for some reason, those Patriotic Confederate Revisionists are somehow unable to explain how those founding documents of the Confederacy are somehow about States’ Rights and not slavery.

You've had it explained in this thread and refused the explanation. Stainlessbanner has directed you to thousands of other War of Northern Aggression megathreads where this exact discussion can be reviewed.

Stainlessbanner knows what we all know when it comes to debating a South hating bigot like you: that it is insane to keep doing the same thing and expecting different results.

[cowboyway]

Oh they’re plenty able to explain

Why don't you explain post# 1090?

[cowboyway]

Good choice!

You notice that the punk won't address post# 1090.

[mstar]

Good choice!

Thank you . . . you are kind to say so.

[rockrr]

Who are you referring to?

[mstar]

:) back at you

[cowboyway]

Who are you referring to?

The coward that refuses to respond to post# 1090. (psst! that would be you)

[cowboyway]

Post# 1090, punk. We’re waiting.

chirp...chirp...chirp...chirp...chirp...chirp...

(help him out, Spike!)

[mac_truck]

I don’t remember you, sorry

Well I guess that explains why you keep my name on a list on your homepage.

“a South hating bigot like you:”

How can I be a South Hating Bigot when I live most of the year where I can see the Texas State Capitol from my home and the rest of the year can see the towering statue of Robert E Lee when I’m
taking that that streetcar that’s goin’ uptown?
