The funniest thing is when these two klowns knock their heads together and accuse us of “revisionist history”.

In the same breath as they whine about Pro-Americans rewriting history they bleat, “We’ve been lied to about the Civil War for our whole lives.” Which is it?!

DegenerateLamp bristles at the term “slavocracy” - even though it pre-dates the Civil War and fltbird drinks heartily from the lost cause bible. They often cite original sources (which is a good thing) but draw conclusions that fly in the face of Occam’s Razor.

They are some peculiar characters!

Bristles? I merely pointed out that the construction of the word doesn't make any sense, because it implies that the Slaves are the rulers. Even the Etymology dictionary said the construction is "irregular" (meaning wrong) and it's origin was from the 1840s.

I opined that it was intended as deliberate propaganda in the 1840s, in the manner that "anti-choice" is a deliberate propaganda term nowadays.

It didn't upset me and it doesn't bother me. I just did it to needle you a bit, and it seems to have worked out splendidly, because you are still seemingly bothered by it. :)
