“Nice rationalization.”
Nope. Just a statement of fact.
Not at all, as it turns out.
My comment was directed at this crew of Brazilian Confederados - not at American Southerners. So your claim that my comment was "Southernphobic" is demonstrably false.
Moreover you claimed that my comment was "uninformed" - when in point of fact I am quite well-informed on the movement of Confederate deadenders to leave their homeland in search of a slaveholding utopia elsewhere. Jubal Early advocated it as soon as Lee surrendered and left for Mexico. There were plans by Confederate emigrants to conquer or subvert the governments of British Honduras or Cuba to create a slave-holding refuge.
So your statement is demonstrably false on that count as well.
