You Northern Yankees, your philosophy sucks! You are filled with phlegm and bile, and hate for hate’s sake. Yankees should be all segregated and put in camps for orderly liquidation. I am more prepared to live through a hurricane than I am to listen to one more invective-filled syllable about your SO CALLED ‘Southern Uprising’ when it is SO CLEAR that your INBRED MORONIC ANCESTORS CAUSED IT ALL! If we could fight the Civil War again, I would equip the South with nuclear weapons and blast every one of you into subatomic particles! Lincoln was a TYRANT and DICTATOR and the war was all about STATES RIGHTS so just get over your peabrained little arguments to the contrary. It’s obvious that ALL the problems in America come from YOUR side’s mistakes. The War of Northern Agression was started by YOUR side because of the Epic Fail of your states to come to terms with the concepts of the rights of States.

Lincoln was a GOD among men and the war was all about SLAVERY so just get over your peabrained little arguments to the contrary.

Ping!
“I’ll have what he’s having.” ;)
Lol!
Sums it all up!
For everybody!
So, which is better, the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” or “Dixie’s Land”?
I’m glad we finally got this resolved.....what?!
Shouldn’t this be in Breaking News? ;-)
Will be interesting to see how many folks make it through post #4.
At least your never alone....
Be sure to notify Jim R....
“It was a tie. And they named the new country, ‘Tie-land.’”
Alright, enough of this trivial stuff. I want to know the answer to the burning question of our time - who’s stronger, the Thing or the Hulk?
Best Civil War thread EVER.
Now, you forced our hand.
Sorry, but grits really suck.
As far as the west, it was part of human existence throughout recorded history until certain religious dissenters in England began speaking out against it. This filtered down to the colonies, and at the point of our Constitutional Convention, it was acknowledged by some Founders as inherently in opposition to the ideals of our nascent nation. The matter was not addressed because the economies of agrarian, southern States were highly dependent upon it.
One Founder, George Mason, a Virginian and slaveholder himself, predicted either war or the end of the Republic over slavery; he did so before the Constitution was ever ratified. Mason was prescient. We got the war, and arguably got the destruction of the original ideals of the Republic in the bargain. It was a sad conflict that was foreseen by many and in many ways was destined to happen.
My own ancestors were almost entirely on the Confederate side of the conflict. Very few of them owned slaves. They went to war believing they were defending hearth and home from invasion.
Sorry to throw a wet blanket on the hyperbolic fun.
As you were, continue on, lol.
No, you’re doing it all wrong!
You bring up an old news story (1865 is fine) and then you put a one line excerpt and a link to a lame-ass blog, replete with popups, trojans and assorted boobytraps. And then you post five new threads a day like that.
But don’t worry, keep trying you’ll hit your dreams one day. :-)
You should be a politician. You have mastered the art of adamant equivocation - a necessary trait of politics.
A Pox on both your houses!!!
So you’re saying that you feel strongly both ways.
