Who is this "Confederate" of whom you speak? If you are referring to me, I will inform you that my family didn't arrive in this country until the 1900s, and they didn't settle in any of the Confederate states. I do not, and never have lived in any of the states of the Confederacy, and I do not have a dog in this fight.
I grew up believing the usual stuff about the Civil War, because that is what I had been taught. I have only recently discovered that much of what has been taught to me is in fact a lie.
I am trying to inform people about the reality of what happened, because I think it's important to know how the monster government system under which we currently suffer began.
Washington DC control of so much of the nation began as a result of the power seized by Lincoln during the Civil War.
Still saying that, even though you are more biased than just about anybody else here?
LOL! Pull the other leg. It has bells on it.
In post 19, I said that all those who fought honorably in the Civil War are together today with Jesus.
I’ll explain why I said this: The Billie Yanks because of their willingness to die to free the slaves. The Johnny Rebs because they were defending their homeland. I do not hold either morally culpable for the country’s failure to find a way, peacefully, to end slavery (for example, the way England ended slavery, with compensated emancipation).
But some people want to describe the Billie Yanks as evil invaders, saying they were not dying to free the slaves. Among these people are the left-wing extremists and also some who - for who knows what reason - hold on to the lost cause. What a strange combination!
The world is a messed up place. So many men, boys really, killed and killing others, mostly in pointless wars. The government gets away with this because every now and then we actually find ourselves in a war that we have to win. The day is coming when these wars will end. This is something I have to believe. In the meanwhile, it is for us, the living, to soldier on.
