We are back again at where we always seems to end up on this topic, with my posts eventually met by a torrent of spurious Lost Cause jargon, claims, and circular reasoning, with some contemporary political jibes thrown in. The hard facts of history are to the contrary though, no matter how effusive the Lost Cause outpouring may be.
You are characterizing my arguments as coming from somewhere else ("Lost cause jargon"), and if it appears that way, it is simply because I have arrived at the same conclusions as others based on the evidence I have seen.
I perceive you as simply regurgitating the same information we have all been taught growing up in the United States. You seemingly dismiss my arguments without due consideration and I have no idea what I have said that you see as "circular reasoning."
I believe money and power motivates people and that all else is lies.
with some contemporary political jibes thrown in.
I try to make people understand the parallels between what we face now, and what people faced then. Political statements are often just lies, as when a political party dedicated to "Abolition" votes to make slavery permanent through a constitutional amendment.
How can anyone not see that as a betrayal?
The hard facts of history are to the contrary though, no matter how effusive the Lost Cause outpouring may be.
The hard facts of history do more damage to the official narrative than they do to the "lost cause" arguments. The money evidence undermines the claims that the war was fought over slavery, as does the fact that Republicans *VOTED* for protecting slavery *BEFORE* the war.
I don't think you allow that "hard fact" to sink in.
What do you think of liberals allowing illegals to vote?
