[Non-Sequitur]

Do you honestly believe all that crap? Really? What am I saying? Of course you do! You would bring back your confederacy in a moment if you could, because you have a vision of the confederacy in your little, 9-volt brain that never existed. Your actual confederacy was a big government, statist monster. A socialistic, centralized economy dedicated to keeping power in the hands of a few, freedom from a significant percentage of it's population, and citizenship in the hands of white men only, white Christian men for a preference. Led by men whose views on the races made Lincoln look like Martin Luther King by comparison. That's what your forefathers established, and that's what got it's rebellious ass kicked 145 years ago.

On the other hand, maybe that is exactly the confederacy you want to return to.

Molasses to rum to slaves, oh what a beautiful waltz
You dance with us, we dance with you
Molasses and rum and slaves

Who sails the ships out of Boston
Ladened with bibles and rum?
Who drinks a toast to the Ivory Coast?
Hail Africa, the slavers have come
New England with bibles and rum

And its off with the rum and the bibles
Take on the slaves, clink, clink
Hail and farewell to the smell
Of the African coast

Molasses to rum to slaves
‘Tisn’t morals, ‘tis money that saves
Shall we dance to the sound of the profitable pound
In molasses and rum and slaves

Who sails the ships out of Guinea
Ladened with bibles and slaves?
‘Tis Boston can coast to the West Indies coast
Jamaica, we brung what ye craves
Antigua, Barbados, we brung bibles and slaves!

Molasses to rum to slaves
Who sail the ships back to Boston
Ladened with gold, see it gleam
Whose fortunes are made in the triangle trade
Hail slavery, the New England dream!
Mr. Adams, I give you a toast:
Hail Boston! Hail Charleston!
Who stinketh the most?

Time to put an end to the self-congratulatory fairy tale of the North’s opposition to Southern slavery.
