Lincoln is the greatest friend the South ever had. Not only did he free those southerners who were slaves, but he liberated the region from the domination of a backward and selfish elite. My only faults with Lincoln was he was too magnanimous in his plans for Reconstruction and his selection of Democrat Johnson as his running mate. The old slaveowning interest that foolishly and selfishly led Dixie into rebellion should have been treated much harsher than either Lincoln or Johnson wished.
When these 'good' Americans scream and rant about "the South will rise again".they never clearly state which era in history will 'rise again'. Is it the pre-1860 South? Is it the pre-1960 South? Or maybe they mean era of the 1760 South? It's funny they can't address the time frame :)

If the forced labour based Cotton Inc's elite were forced to pay the price for inciting full scale insurrection things would have turned out for the better during as well as after Reconstruction.
Since the well healed 'Slavery Empire' ringleaders no longer wished to be loyal United States citizens, all of them should have their U.S. citizenship revoked, all their wealth transfered to those they abused on their 'plantations', and then they should have been swiftly deported, as soon as each one was captured.
Any nation's government granting these disgraced deportees entrance would never tolerate this element fomenting armed rebellion as they did in America.
LOL!
Very true.
fyi, "mr spin, the LUNATIC & BIGOT" got himself "sent on vacation" by being EVERYTHING that a FReeper is NOT supposed to be.
similarly, "ftd" is WELL-known as a similar sort of BIGOT, lunatic & laughingstock.
i don't foresee either of you being on FR much longer.
perhaps the "moveon.com" is your TRUE home???
be GONE, DUMMIES!
free dixie,sw
head over to DU & take your buddy "ftd" with you. you 2 deserve each other.
free dixie,sw
Maybe you really have no idea lol
Go back to sleep Norman...
If your prophetic skill is as good as your thinking skill, we will be on FR for a very long time!
"Mr Spin, the BIGOT" will be GONE permanently this time. (he's had his ONE chance to clean his act up.)
fyi, my source told me the same prior to the banning of "heyworthless", "modernman", "whiskey papa" & a host of other FOOLS, weirdos,lunatics,south-HATERS, idiots, BIGOTS & "trash" who are G-O-N-E, GONE, thus my "prophetic skill" has been GOOD!
you two will be MUCH happier on DU and/or "move-on.org". FR is for CONSERVATIVES, rather than LEFTIST, hate-filled chumps, CHUMP.
furthermore, you can be with your "buddies", who are NOW on DU, saying their usual south-HATING, REVISIONIST, anti-FR nonsense & LIES.

You mean telling the truth of what the Confederacy was fighting for?
You mean telling the truth of what was in the Confederate Constitution?
You mean rejecting secession as per the statement in Free Republic?
You mean not using personal attacks like you and your Paleo-Confederate buddies have constantly done, then crying 'bigot' like any liberal would do when exposed as liars?
That is what gets you thrown off of Free Republic?
If it does, it would have to change its name to Confederate Republic, which is what you anti-American/pro-Confederate's would love.
That sounds like you have good hindsight not foresight.
One site said that the land was returned to the Lee family by the Supreme Court and it was later bought for the $150,000.
you are a JOKE to most here. (don't you get tired of essentially everyone believing you are STUPID & a BIGOT???)
BUZZ OFF, chump.
free dixie,sw
that's the cost of being HATEFUL & DISHONEST!
free dixie,sw
laughing AT you, BIGOT! (if i were you, i'd start saying your BYE-BYEs to all your lunatic, HATE-filled, DY friends.)

Is that the same little bird that you said was going to toss me over a month ago? Interesting how you constantly want to shut down opposing opinion by telling people that they're going to be banned for standing up to your bullying or by telling them to leave and go to DU.
Bobby Lee was loved by North and South alike. More Yankees respected him than they did nearly any of their own generals and leaders. Jeff Davis, on the other hand, was slime and not well trusted on either side of the Mason Dixon Line.
I think you summarized it well.
Oh, I am sure you got 'tipped' right before their departure by someone in your little cadre of traitors and cowards.
That wasn't prophetic, that was just inside information-as you admitted when you said 'a little bird told you'.
