I always come to these threads for my history lessons. Representatives of the southern States fought since the declaration of independence to preserve slavery. Throughout the first half of the 1800s, they fought to keep an equal number of slave states in the union. So what states rights were they fighting for.........the right to keep people ensleaved.

Damn them and damn that flag!

[StoneWall Brigade]

We got three hundred thousand
before they conquered us.
They died of Southern fever
And Southern steel and shot;
And I wish it was three million
Instead of what we got.

Oh, I’m good old Rebel,
Now thats just what I am;
For this “YANKEE NATION”
I DO NOT CARE A DAMN!
I’m glad I fought against it-
I only wish we’d won.
