It appears we've got one more chance to get it right. I pray that we're sober enough to do so.

Wrong war.

Reread the Declaration of Independence.

Pay special attention to the “facts submitted” bits.

Any of them sound familiar...?

His first mistake was taking anything to heart that was seen in one of Ken Burns’ propaganda pieces.

Whether we need it or not, it looks like we’re heading for one anyways.

Yes, in Ken Burns “classic series” there’s good and bad on both sides...that’s true. But on the important issue - the issue of the day - the only one that mattered during the civil war - the issue of slavery - ONLY the North had it right.

Slavery is evil. That truth stands the test of time.

In our situation today - a fight against an organized domestic communism - only conservatives are right. On the most important issue - the only one that matters - that Marxism is evil - only our side has it right...

Marxism is evil.

"The North stood against the evil of Slavery ..."

No it didn't. That is a lie that has been repeated so often, the majority of people now believe it.

The "North" had absolutely no intentions of doing anything about slavery when they invaded the South. Indeed, all the Northern congressmen had just voted to pass the "Corwin Amendment" which would have preserved slavery indefinitely. Lincoln supported this effort to pass the Corwin Amendment.

The War has been successfully portrayed as an effort to end slavery, but this is an absolute coverup for it's actual purpose. It's real purpose was to protect the finances of the same greedy corrupt influence peddlers that still run Washington DC today.

The War being about slavery is propaganda. It is an oft repeated lie. The North was more evil than the South because they murdered people to protect their own finances, and then pretended they were killing people for human rights.

All a lie.

The dems promised that if Lincoln were elected they would go to war

He was. They did

“particularly in contrast with more natural and healthy rural living, which the South personified.”

Do some research. Malaria, Yellow Fever, Ringworm, and tuberculosis were rampant in the antebellum south. People were lucky to live until 50. And it was common to lose half your children before they reached the age of 5.

Ken Burns is an Uber Weenie. And a public TV leftist of the highest stripe. Some of the expert people he got to describe the history were pretty good. I’m think of Shelby Foote.

Not find out about the White League and the Knights of the White Camellia

The democratic south promised that they would do anything to prevent Lincoln from becoming president during the 1860 campaign. The rest is history

The Democrat party has always been the party of rebellion

Wish in one hand...

Groups of people are not like individuals — there is no intelligence, no decision making. The actions of groups largely represent the collective character of the people that make them up. An awful lot of “us” have no character at all. We are not the same literate, moral people that founded this nation.

I don’t have a crystal ball, but if this nation avoids some form of national crisis it can only be by the grace of God.

The evil of slavery was the price for ratification of the Constitution. Doesn't make it right but the Founders weren't perfect. The 3/5ths clause did benefit the slave owners.

There is not going to be another Civil War. Conservatives proved they would not fight when the Left executed a Coup, stole the 2020 election and destroyed the Constitution. It takes two sides fighting to constitute a war. In this case only one side is fighting and that is the Left.
