nonetheless we southerners wanted our FREEDOM, just as the forefathers of 1776 did. the NON-slaveowners of dixie were willing to ally with the "planters" for a while to GET freedom. IF our ancestors had won, the NEXT enemy might well have been the southern elites. (the WBTS, for southerners, was a PEASANT UPRISING led by a few professional soldiers, like Lee & Jackson.)
furthermore,as you KNOW, about the SAME percentage of DAMNyankees, INCLUDING many "prominent abolitionists", owned slaves and/or PROFITED from slavery!!! (DAMNyankees have ALWAYS been HYPOCRYTES/LIARS/SELFrighteous/sanctimonious !)

I don't know about your family, and don't care. But General Watie and his family did.

Lee and Jackson were part of the southern elite you dismiss. Both were slave owners, Jackson was a slave owner the day he died. Neither one had a problem with the insitution. In fact, both thought it was the best condition for blacks to be in. Your peasant uprising proposal is sheer fantasy.

As are you Southron twits claiming they were fighting for freedom when a third of the population was exempt from that.
