Now, before we go further let's do what we have to do, condemn slavery as the sin of the past. It was wrong. It was wrong in the North, and wrong in the South. Taking a man's liberty is taking a gift from the Almighty Father and that is wrong. No point wasting a lot of space in debate, or discussion. So let's move on. This article is not about the past, it is about today.

End of discussion. Without slavery, there would have never been a Civil War.

“End of discussion. Without slavery, there would have never been a Civil War.”

Yes, it’s obvious. It took years to write the Emancipation Proclamation and the way the north prepared to care for all the freed slaves they were trying to save was really touching.

Please. The war was damn near lost by the eastern elites before they turned it into something else. It could have been global warming if Algore was there.

If it weren’t for the progressives, there would have been no civil war. It was sinking under its own weight all over the world and would have disappeared entirely in a decade, leaving the south with WAY too much power and the north knew it. The red herring of slavery was the green movement of its day. Shifting power and wealth and stripping freedom from people isn’t easy. The war wasn’t quite as easy as the north thought either. That’s because their “cause” was bullshit and everybody knew it and most of them Didn’t CARE.

Robert E. Lee was the best military mind we ever saw. He was offered command of the northern armies. He knew its abilities and strengths. Would he have turned it down and voluntarily fought a war against an army three times his size with an endless stream of manufacturing might behind it if not forced to? No. Absolutely not.

The war was pushed by the eastern establishment and the progressive agenda...read their platform planks...jeebus, this is crazy talk. What next, Sherman was forced to do it?

The naivete on this subject is stunning. And it is still about today;

Usurpation of Federal power, abrogation of States Rights and commercial (financial) freedom...

BS. You don’t know much about history if you think that.
