Since we have not been speaking of the period after the War there has been nothing for me to ignore. But if you want to discuss the horrors visited on the Freedmen by the unreconstructed Slavers and their followers we can. The thousands of lynchings, mass killings, attacks on Republicans black and white are all subjects that should get wider exposure particularly since the Defenders of the Slaverocracy pretend they never happened.
These atrocities led to the idea that hatred of blacks was predominant in the South along with the continued suppression of Black political rights well into the second half of the twentieth century. It is very amusing to find you flailing about ranting of "deconstructionism" decades before the concept was even current trying to deflect attention from the actual causes, the formation of the KKK terrorist group by Democrats to prevent Blacks from exercising their constitutional rights. Democrat party power in the South was, for over a century, predicated upon the prevention of Blacks obtaining full civil rights. I experienced this warped and anti-Christian attitude during my youth and can truthfully testify to its strong influence throughout the region.
I am sure your misstatements about Marx are equally invalid particularly since he viewed the conflict as changes occurring within the economic basis transitioning a semi-feudal economy to a capitalistic one. His view was that socialist Revolution could only occur after the stage of capitalist development had reached its peak. Hence he supported the North not for any love of Lincoln or capitalism but because it was a stage to be gotten through in order for socialism to eventually triumph.

You certainly know your Karl Marx. I bow to your superior knowledge.
