Thanks for sharing.

This book is a Republican countering the arguments of Democrat Jefferson Davis. Davis makes exactly the same arguments as modern Democrats: that the USA was founded as a slave state and was designed for white supremacy.

“(Jefferson)Davis makes exactly the same arguments as modern Democrats: that the USA was founded as a slave state and was designed for white supremacy.”

Wasn’t it Jefferson Davis that made the following quote? Or, was it someone else?

“I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races — that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this, that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I, as much as any other man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.”

Progressives do seem to always trust white nationalists on this bilge, don’t they? To whatever extend the latter group actually exists.

It’s an interesting observation, that trust between the two said-to-be-opposing camps. Let any white nationalist say the country is racist or founded on white supremacy and all the progressives rush to the microphones as fast as they can and say things like this: “He’s right! See, he knows! WE TRUST HIM! This claim is unassailable and the source is completely reliable!” Al Sharpton can’t get there fast enough to lay on an award for honesty and bravery.

The trust runs deep here in this very specific canal between those two camps.

and back to the civil war we go. I see that one member of the pack showed up, that means the whole crew is almost certain to show up.

Ok, look, I've seen how these go. This roving pack that you guys have always pick on one thing, drive the whole discussion off topic and 300 posts later yet another discussion with the same 10 people on either side saying the same pre-packaged things with nothing new to add.

I'm trying to talk about the Founding Fathers and The 1619 Project/progressives, that's all. You guys will have plenty of time for your civil war re-enactments in other non-civil-war related discussions.
