persons, who are conversant with the WBTS period, KNOW that "DAMNyankees" is very descriptive of the south-HATING, arrogant, ignorant, lunatic fringe of the otherwise decent northern people.

NOT more than 10-15% of northers are DYs, but that minority is REALLY filled with HATE, is terminally MEAN-spirited & LOUD-mouthed.

it is my belief that if the DYs were not so busy HATING the southland, our flags & symbols, our culture & our southern PEOPLE, that they would be some other sort of BIGOT. (be not deceived, DYs ARE bigots, who are NO BETTER than RACISTS/anti-Semites & other similar HATERS.)

Let me give YOU a question:

Show me where slavery was PROHIBITED in the Constitution.
If you can't........

[stand watie]

do you REALLY believe that REVISIONIST/MEAN-spirited NONSENSE???

lol AT you & all the other members of the "DY coven of revisionist,HATE-filled, lunatics".

[TexConfederate1861]

I believe that if the men and materials had been equal, the South would have won, hands down. Southern Generals were the best as a whole. Even West Point doesn't dispute that fact.

[stand watie]

NOPE. wrong answer. "usmcobra", also known as "Mr. 0000", is a SCALAWAG, who is a turncoat to his own state AND to his native southland.

he has totally gone over to the south-HATING, DAMNyankee side. (GOOD RIDDENCE, i say.)

just thought you's want to know.

and as usual, your post #150 illustrates, for all to see, just how out of touch with TRUTH & perhaps REALITY you are.

PITY that you don't know that.

Wow. You think that's actually a logical arguement?
Ooookaaaayyy...

You made the broad based statement that the Civil War (or more correctly the War for Southern Independence) was all about slavery. You made the statement on this thread in post #133.

The War Of Southern Aggression, on the other hand, *was* all about slavery.

This was your sentence. I pointed out that Maryland was a slave holding state until November 1864. The Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863. If the war was about slavery, then why on earth would the Union have tolerated a slave holding state for so long? If the war was started over slavery as opposed to the right to secede, then why wasn't the Emancipation signed right away. If I recall correctly, 200 members of the Michigan militia swore that they would not fight to free the slaves before the Emancipation was signed. Obviously if the War for Southern Independence was started up over slavery, the word did not reach those men from Michigan.

If the War for Southern Independence was started up over slavery, then why did Abe Lincoln say that if he could preserve the Union by not freeing the slaves he would do it. If he could preserve the Union by freeing all of the slaves, he would do it. And if he could preserve the Union by freeing some of the slaves and not the others, he would do it.

You further said in your post:
So one of the non-seceding states was a slave state. But *all* of the states that seceded were slave owning. In their various ordinances of secession and state Constitutions, they point out that the source of their problems was the issue of slavery.

REALLY? Care to provide us with some quotes that specifically claim that the problem was primarily with slavery?

[stand watie]

fwiw, it is NOT "name-calling" to describe the characteristics & behavior of a bunch of REVISIONIST, sanctimonious, IGNORANT, LOUDmouthed,lunatics, who HATE the south & her wonderful people, as "DAMNyankees".

if i described a piece of furniture, which has a back, a seat, 4 legs and upon which a person can sit,as a CHAIR, you wouldn't think i was calling that piece of furniture "names".

NOPE. it's called DOUBLE-speak.

NASCAR is the NEW "dixie chicks" (has anybody, who is a TRUE southerner, gone to see them lately???? their last tours dates in the southland were "LOSERS", as the "chicks" ARE!).

NASCAR's "sniveling cowards" will LEARN it's NOT smart to offend their base of customers for the sake of political correctness.

I'm not aware of any such group using the Stars and Bars, a flag that most folks wouldn't recognize anyway. See: Stars and Bars

I've been wanting to get one to fly at home.

Tell me: have you read the ordinances of secession?

I believe that if the men and materials had been equal, the South would have won, hands down.

I agree with you. All the CSA had to do was to absorb the blows and survive. The Union had the harder to task-to suppress a widespread rebellion over a huge area. It was a tremendous accomplishment for the US aided by a widespread failure of Confederate will when the going got tough in 1864-65.

Southern Generals were the best as a whole. Even West Point doesn't dispute that fact.

I think Lee and Jackson were the best of the best. But even those guys had their lapses. After that the Union produced men who did what had to be done to win like Grant, Sherman , Sheridan and Thomas. While the CSA had men who did whatever it took to bring about disaster such as Hood and Bragg. On general, I'd say the generalship on both sides were pretty close just as the rank and file on both sides were comparable man-to-man.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

What was false about what I said on this thread? I didn't say that Confederate soldiers were incompetent scum of the earth. I just said that on average they were no better than the Union soldier. If they were the 10 foot tall supermen that some reb fans say they were they wouldn't have lost the war so completely.

The reb soldier was good, but no better than his Union counterpart. Both sides produced men of remarkable fortitude.

Today's self-inflicted rebel rabble rouser's have nothing better to do then solely instigate unwarranted trouble.

"The damnyankees have already infested the thread..."

You mean anyone not slithering in that tiny, fanatical neo-confederate minority of cry babies for the lost cause.

[stand watie]

the "billy yanks" were BRAVE (on the whole) & fiercely committed to their cause/fellow compatriots, BUT they fought for a POOR cause.

my ancestors lost their bid to be FREE, as there was simply not enough THINGS & people to win the war. in the end, VALOR, dedication & TENACITY was simply NOT enough.

once more, using that "term of abuse" of "neo-confederate" marks the USER as a FOOL & a BIGOT. everyone here knew that about YOU.
