"Girls will be boys and boys will be girls It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world..."
Well so much for your credibility as a "historian." You just regurgitated the same ridiculous propaganda that the mainstream has spewed since the civil war.
Firstly, Charles Sumner *DESERVED* that beating. He was a very nasty man that said unforgiveable things about an elder senator, and it was his nephew, Preston Brooks who beat the sh*t out of Sumner.
I read Sumner's speech. *I* would have beaten the sh*t out of him too, if he had said such things about one of my relatives.
Sumner's own friends tried to stop him during his speech, telling him "Stop! They will kill you!"
Sumner was a nasty piece of work that deserved his beating.
Secondly, the *WEALTHY* were the Northeastern power brokers. Same then as it is today. The industrial titans of the Northeast were the wealthy, and they had the game rigged so that the North received 60% of all the revenue from slavery. They were making more money from slavery than the actual slave owners were!
Notice also that they didn't go to war over the Plantation owners having slavery. Indeed, they passed the Corwin amendment through the House and Senate by a 2/3rds majority to make sure the plantation owners could always have slaves. What they went to war over was those slave owners were *LEAVING* and taking their 60% of that money with them.
The power elite of the North were just fine with eternal slavery, but what they absolutely would not tolerate is cutting off their money supply and overthrowing their control of the Southern states.
And this idiot "Historian" is seemingly unaware of the reality of what happened.
Yeah, well, after all the illegals you've let in, close to half of your voter base probably doesn't speak English, so good luck with that.
That’s a good article, but formatting is your friend.
It's good to be Deep State...
