Actually, I'm in favor of ALL the race baiters who want to abolish every vestige of the Confederacy. The sooner they succeed, the better we will be.

Before you start flaming me, let me finish. If we abolish every vestige of the Confederacy, we eliminate every and all evidence of slavery. If there was no Confederacy, there could never have been slavery, nor was there a Civil War. If NONE of things things occurred, there is no justification for reparations becuase slavery never existed in the US because there was never any Confederacy.

History, no matter how hard the revisionists try to change it, is immutable. Emotionalism invested in such things as slavery and reparations arguments are temporal and transient in time. The sooner we abolish the justification for the emotional argument, the sooner that history can begin to resurrect the truth about the Confederacy.

"If there was no Confederacy, there could never have been slavery, nor was there a Civil War."

And there would not have been 623,026 Americans killed in that "Civil War".

May God not forgive you, Abraham Lincoln.

I think, of course, that you do not really believe that. You do know that slavery predated the Confederacy by several thousand years in other parts of the world.

The practice of slavery in this hemisphere predated the Confederacy by 240 years.

Slavery as a legal practice was first made colonial law in Massachusetts, predating all other American colonies.

Prior to the Revolutionary War, officials in the Colonies of Georgia and Virginia were trying to close down the slave trade.

I could go on, but just maybe do you see how what you are saying does not comport with fact?

I hope I did not misread your post.

You are wrong. Once the racialists purge the south of all vestiges of the Confederate Flag, they will start on Old Glory, which flew over a slave nation longer than the Confederate Flag did. They will chnage the names of all the Washingtons, Lees, Jefffersons, and Columbuses in the United States to something less "offensive".

Yes, indeed. History no matter how hard the revisionists try to change it, is immutable.

The Confederate States of America was a political entity founded on February 8, 1861.

Slavery was an integral part of American colonial life before 1776 and was an insitution specifically recognized in the Constitution of the United States submitted for ratification in 1787.

By what revisionist hallucination can you possibly claim that "If there was no Confederacy, there could never have been slavery"?

There is no justifcation for reparations anyway.
