“I have heard NO FREEPER SPEAK UP FOR SLAVERY.”

The Southern States succeeded from the Union for one reason and that reason was so that they could maintain the institution of slavery.

Thus, if one speaks-up for the Confederacy, they are speaking up for slavery.

OK you win....but if I remember correctly, the north was blocking ports so the south was stuck. It was economics that started the war, slavery being only a part of it....and being pushed around by the government was also part of it. Taxes were also... Just like we are all bitching about now...the old saying that was****save your Confederate money boys the south shall rise again... But you have to be right on, it was all about slavery...

What a crock! One of my Confederate Ancestors from Texas, didn’t own a slave, he was a RANCHER! He could have given a d*mn less about slavery, one way or the other. He fought to stop Yankees from invading!
