Well looks like GOP gave you the source.

It's part of the historical record, and not Yankee propaganda.

No more than Andersonville was.

And was it or was it not part of the Confederate constitution that enshrined the principle of white supremacy into the supreme law of their land, and continue slavery?

See, we can get into whatever arguments we wish about secession or tariffs, but in the end I can't root for a side that enslaves my ancestors while the other side after winning ends the practice of chattel slavery.

Nor can I be much in love with the behavior of Southerners towards blacks in the years after liberation. Do I think some of it was exacerbated by mistreatment by the North? Yeha, probably. Should that have continued into the 50s/60s? No. Were northerners all gentle and colorblind people? HELL NO. Does that mean I should root for the side that isn't even trying to advance humanity in deed OR word? Nope.

you are welcome to hold ANY opinion. it's called freedom. nonetheless, understand you've been LIED to & DECEIVED.

most of what passes for history is in "modern America" is nothing more than self-serving damnyankee propaganda. LIES told by the damnyankee apologists do not become magically true by repetition.

once again, i have to ask you: how do you feel about the 100,000 black CSA soldiers, sailors & marines who fought for dixie LIBERTY? were they fighting to continue slavery? do you think they were stupid? OR could it be that the black troops were fighting to defend their homes,families & property from the "filth that came down from the north"?

go read BLACKS IN BLUE & GRAY,by Professor H R Blackerby of the Tuskeegee University department of history, then come back and we'll talk.
