Targeting Lost Causers

My oh my, what would the critics, the Civil War publications, publishers, and bloggers do if it weren't for the bad boys of the Confederacy and those who study them and also those who wish to honor their ancestors who fought for the Confederacy?

You can view as you want, but you cant change the historical truth that South Carolina seceeded because they wanted slaves.

To the average Southern hero, the slaves were mostly little black specs in far off fields. 99% of farms had no slaves. Making out that the civil war was about slavery would be like saying debating you would be about debating an intelligent adversary.

the TRUTH is that most (at least semi-educated) of the DAMNyankees aren't stupid.

instead they HOPE that they can convince others of their hate-FILLED,SELF-righteous, sanctimonious, KNOWING lies.

it's really no more complicated than that.

otoh, some of them are so blinded by their inbred prejudice, that they have convinced themselves = this is called SELF-delusion & it is rightly considered to be a psychosis.

well that's certainly true. (for once you have hit the nail on the head.)

the DAMNyankee STATISTS won the war and did not cease being a motley collection of thugs,freebooters, war profiteers, RACISTS,war criminals,filth, scum & PREJUDICED cretins.

That still happening today? I mean, you're still feeling the effects of Reconstruction and all. Over 132 years after it ended.

Yes, as a matter of fact. As a direct result of the war, my family lost over 3/4 of their land, which would be worth billions today.

Considering the long economic climb back from losing the arable land, clearing fields of timber and starting over, I'd definitely say there has been a lasting effect. The remaining fragment of those landholdings has been passed from generation to generation for over 350 years, but it was the least desireable of that land and is worth a pittance compared to what the value of the total holding would have been.

and WHO was responsible for BHO winning???

it was NOT anything near a majority of southerners. we RECOGNISED him for what he is: a SELF-righteous, hate-FILLED, DAMNyankee, who couldn't lead three drunken sailors into a tavern.

as a friend from SC says, "we now have a teleprompter as POTUS".

thanks for nothing, yankees.

the unvarnished truth is that NOBODY won the war, except for the 2-5% of business/intellectual/financial ELITES of the northeast, who see themselves as our "betters".

it is also true that the IGNORANT/arrogant/hate-FILLED minority of northerners (who are known as DAMNyankees) are TOO STUPID/blinded by PREJUDICE to know that they too have the boot-heel of the ELITES on their collective necks.

note: unlike your family, my family had little of monetary value before the war and even less after-wards, as we were poor AmerIndians BUT we understand that we lost most of our LIBERTY & have NOT recovered it.

fwiw, i do NOT respond to blackmail.

i note that "the motley collection of bigots/nitwits/antisemites/cretins/etc" that comprises the membership of The DAMNyankee Coven are still LOUTS, LOUD-mouths & VULGAR-talking fools.

...my family had little of monetary value before the war and even less after-wards, as we were poor AmerIndians BUT we understand that we lost most of our LIBERTY & have NOT recovered it.

The money was not the object, the land and the freedom to live/prosper that land conveyed was. The land was the means of production of sustennance and wealth. Nor has the liberty our ancestors fought for and lost been restored or sustained by those who claim to be liberators.

In the county I grew up in, four people admitted voting for Lincoln. They were asked to leave.

I don’t know what you’re talking about blackmail but you sure do run away from honor and integrity. Buy a clue squattie: your past is calling and it won’t be ignored.

You and the unlamented Wlat have always been six or seven sides of the same coin -- we can always count on you to show up to exercise your reflexive hate of the South and its people.

You and the rest of the empire-builders, the people that George Orwell warned us about.

Lincoln really didn’t care about slavery one way or the other - he stated so

There are a couple of schools of thought on that, and I swear they both have good arguments. That they have an open season is due very much to the secretive nature of their subject, who it seems never let anyone close to what he really thought or valued. Even Wm. Herndon and his own wife found him perplexing, two people who knew him best -- but even they confess that really, they didn't.

That leaves us to infer intentions from actions and outcomes. And that is a slow, laborious, and argumentative process that can, absent the discovery of some hitherto-unknown text, run very easily for another 300 years.

Southerners are often largely unaware of Confederate home front misrule and oppressions.

Argumentum ex "so's your old man" -- invalid form of argument, of the general form, "but your Honor, he needed killin'!"

The sole issue is whether the Union government and its polemarch, Abraham Lincoln, were justified in doing what they did, which was a war of conquest against free people, and the moral equivalent of enslavement (which they said they abhorred). They were not justified, they had no just cause. Whether or not Jefferson Davis had unpaid speeding tickets or four wives is irrelevant.
