Naw, typical Democrat, you're just projecting your own mental state.
FLT-bird: "I’ve backed up things I’ve said with quotes from direct sources. "
Even where that's somewhat true, the quotes you post don't say what you claim they say.
FLT-bird: "You’ve provided....opinions from PC Revisionist historians and invective - nothing more."
"Invective"?
That's you stock in trade, so just more projection.
As for "Revisionist historians", by that you mean fake historians, and that's what Lost Cause mythology is.
But I'll grant you this much: the Lost Cause myth began with people like Jefferson Davis himself, who would certainly know his own mind.
So when Davis said the war was not over slavery, we have to believe in his own mind at that moment it was indeed not over slavery.
However, Davis was not at the SC secession convention and did not write the various "reasons for secession" documents all of which did give slavery a prominent, if not preeminent, role.
Davis was only invited in afterwards.
Further, Davis refused until way too late to do the one thing which helped George Washington win the Revolutionary War and could have turned the tide for the Confederacy: offer the ~4 million slaves freedom in exchange for military service.
When in early 1864 Confederate General Patrick Cleburne suggested that, Davis ignored him and Cleburne was branded "unreliable".
Now it seems that each new generation wants to add its own contributions to the Lost Cause myth, all the while claiming, as you do here, that traditional history is "Revisionist".
Sorry, but we're not the revisers, except where actual mistakes were made -- i.e., how many troops did each side have & lose in a certain battle, etc.
FLT-bird: "You’ve sought to cover your deficiency of actual historical facts by simply piling on more BS and repeating yourself endlessly.
Anybody who reads can see it doesn’t work."
And now still more projection of your own mindset, especially the "repeating yourself endlessly" part.
In fact, I repeat nothing -- zero, zip, nada repeats -- except in response to your own repeated lies.
Remember, to this day pro-Confederates are always the aggressors, first with military power, today with Lost Cause myths.
Union sympathizers are always on defense against whatever new nonsense you throw at us.
So I'll say it again: you can shut us up today, all you have to do is stop posting lies about the Civil War.
Oh look! More of your lies and BS that I refuse to read.
Keep going with it. Spend lots of time obsessively typing out lengthy responses. Do it for several more weeks.
