I keep making the argument that the only major cause the south had in rebellion was the threat of abolition and you keep counter arguing with articles that only talk about how the south was threatened by abolition... Its not even worth arguing with you anymore. The bottom line is that the confederate battle flag and the term “The South Will Rise Again” are incredibly offensive terms that have no place being displayed in public and the basis of the rebellion was to keep the institution of slavery.

‘Its not even worth arguing with you anymore. ‘

I concluded as much before making available some different works on the topic based on your blind stance. But I figured ‘what the heck, I’ll do a quick google, and relay it anyway’.

I’m not surprised you are so entrenched in the mantra it was all about slavery, and that the CSA battle flag ‘is racist’. Thats typical of Northern viewpoint which predominates the limited discussions of the topic in what passes for ‘public education’.

No matter what anyone tells you, or makes available to you, you will continue to believe what you’ve been taught by ‘history’.

Some of us understand the what the observation ‘Histories are written by the victors’ actually meant.

It was a warning. You fail to understand it.

No problem. Now you can declare ‘victory’ even though there was no battle fought.
