The confederacy freed the slaves before the Union did.

Say what???????

The Stars and Bars simply stood for a system of government which respected the rights of states and the people within them to decide their own local laws.

Two-thirds of the people anyway.

The War of Northern Aggression has been rewritten to promote Big City gangster mentality of love for one’s fellow man before love for God over small southern town hard work ethic treating a love for God first, followed by love for one’s fellow man.

You claim the confederacy freed the slaves before the Union and you accuse us of rewriting history? ROTFLMAO!!!

Say it again, the northerners held onto their slaves longer than the southerners.

Gen Lee freed his slaves which his family had inherited in 1862. Gen Sherman didn’t free his slaves which he purchased until after the Civil War, remarking that “Good help was so hard to find”.

The Union declared the emancipation of slaves from the south, but didn’t mandate the freedom of slaves in the north.

Who taught you history? Some Yankee liberal who insists all southerners were uneducated bigots? Sorry, that’s the liberal socialist line.
