Cyborg is good people.

Violent uprising and inciting murder are not proper things and were in fact unlawful. John Brown and the secret6 exmeplify violence and ruthlessness.

I've tried to enlighten you before. It can't be done. You are as fanatical about the slave empire as the Muslims are about infidels.

I am originally from the south-I mean my ancestors were North Georgian landowners and fought for the Confederacy. Now living in Southern Illinois I find it heartening to see many young Southern Illinois highschool boys driving around with the flag of Dixie on their trucks and cars.

I'm fanatical about telling the truth. Bring your facts to the debate, otherwise, you are just another left-wing talking head.

Support your comments or leave the debate to the adults.

"left wing talking head" Based on what? What makes the fact that the Confederacy was based on slavery debateable?
Facts are stubborn things but you have always ignored them in the past.
"Support your comments or leave the debate to the adults"
I only offered an opinion on your inability to use reason. I made the observation to someone who might not know how fanatically committed you are to a failed treasonous effort to derail this nation. Adult? whenever someone points out the facts you start name calling... like calling someone a left wing talking head or how about "Damnyankee"?

Prove it.

Not true. Again, prove it.

Again, if you can't add anything useful to the debate, leave it others.

thanks SB but you are right about violent uprising... two wrongs don't make a right. But look at the North now... New York got payback in the form of Hillary Clinton.

I think that's a pretty unfair characterisation don't you? Despite slavery and all the ills that went with it, look at the South today. Now look at muslim run countries that still have slavery.

sorry for the dupe... but the reason why I don't get into too many debates about the WBTS is because I don't have enough info. Now I suggest you find out the difference between those who use this issue/topic of discussions for 'other agendas' and those who are all about 'heritage and not hate'.

I've proved it every time I have joined these posts. This is the part where your fanaticism comes in. I just got bored with doing it.
It's like I am talking to someone that insists the earth is flat. You patiently explain all the reasons the world is round and the persons comes back with "No it isn't. Prove it." again.
Finally I just put the words of the Confederate Davis and Stephens on my about page and left it at that. The South lost. Get over it.

My defense is solid, yours is non-existent.

When you care to debate in an educated fashion, please notify me.

The South today looks great. Don't mistake my comments about neo-confederates and klansmen with my thoughts about the South. I also don't have issue with those who are proud of their ancestors or their fight in the Civil War. That is different from those that want to "Free dixie" today. My posts are against the fringe elements that deny slavery as the primary cause, not the only one, but the primary cause of the civil war.
The Muslim countries of today that have slavery are what these people would want for the South. Their hollow posts about slavery naturally fading away, and that it wasn't that bad, notwithstanding. To give credence to that attitude is to tacitly acknowledge racial superiority rather than merits of character and action.

Again, support that statement. Where on FR has any Southerner proposed slavery as a viable option?

The south lost. It was over 130 years ago and yet you are consumed by it. You are just sad.
