I think it is reasonable to point out that the CSA had a key ideological issue in common with the Nazis. That is the idea that there is a Master Race and slave races.
While the two systems were very different, it’s not difficult to imagine the CSA, had it won, developing in a direction similar to that the Nazis later followed. Once you really believe in a Master Race ideology, a lot follows logically.

I think the real pull to the Axis would have been Latin Fascism and Japanese bushido.
But at any rate, the point of my posts is the utter hypocrisy of painting the Confederacy as a great defender of "states' rights" when it was born out of numerous violations of the rights of free states by the Slave Power. To pick the Confederate battle flag (actually the Confederate naval jack) as a symbol of "resistance to federal tyranny" nicely dovetails with the Left's narrative that the primary "right" conservatives want is to own and enslave Black people.
And btw . . . the so-called "League of the South" supports the Communist Celtic "national liberation movements" in the name of "Celtic solidarity." This means they excuse and defend the socialism and radical abortionist/homosexualist doctrines of those movements. Last year they adamantly supported the Scottish National Party and Scottish "independence" despite the fact that the SNP intended to make "independent" Scotland the first country on earth that enshrined "gay rights" in its fundamental law. I detest Black Americans' alliance with the Left, but how in the world can conservatives remain silent at such duplicitous hypocrisy by "palaeos" and neo-Confederates?
You realize Lincolm shared almost such a view of group superiority? As did many others who were Abolitionists. They objected to slavery, not to white superiority.
And Abraham Lincoln. If you are going to make the Nazi analogy with the confederates, you have got to mention how Abraham Lincoln was a blatant racist and considered blacks completely inferior.
Since we are being objective and everything, your omission of blatant racist Abraham Lincoln is obviously an oversight.
And what did the Republicans want to do with them once they were free? Send them to Liberia? And Why did they want to do this?
