One will not know where they are going if they don't know where they have been. Face it. The South was right.
One will not know where they are going if they don't know where they have been. Face it. The South was right.You've lost your damned mind. Any nation that had slavery incorporated into its founding constitution was in no way correct. The CSA did exactly that. And it is the very definition of hypocrisy to say that a nation would be "free" while having laws that even set the price of slaves in its founding documents! That stain is indelible. That nation would not be free at all. It's like being "a little bit pregnant;" you either are or you are not.
So, please, you got what you wanted but you lost what you had. There's scant sympathy from me.
And, as I said, it's the 21st century. The days of the 19th are long gone. If as much time were spent discussing today's issues as there are being wasted on what happened well over 100 years ago, maybe there'd be some real solutions. The continuous fighting of a war that ended long ago is downright idiotic.
No mercy.

Face it. The South was right. "And yet again, there are in the United States and territories, including the District of Columbia, 433,643 free blacks. At $500 per head they are worth over two hundred millions of dollars. How comes this vast amount of property to be running about without owners? We do not see free horses or free cattle running at large. How is this? All these free blacks are the descendants of slaves, or have been slaves themselves, or they would be slaves now, but for something which has operated on their white owners, inducing them, at vast pecuniary sacrifices, to liberate them. What is that something? Is there any mistaking it?"
If the south was right, why were all these free blacks left running around without owners?
