Here's a more condensed version. They lost.

Intended from the beginning, though not by Jefferson.

That is what I gathered form the article, neo-confederate

In 1861 pro-slaver insurrectionist politicians triggered the Civil War and were willing to sell out to the highest European power.

Today's leftist traitors would love to sell US out and what's sick the neo-confederates are still fighting the same 'lost cause'
