Today in U.S. Civil War History
1861 - Virginia left the Union. Within the next 5 weeks Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina seceded bringing the total of Confederate states to eleven.
Freedom Bump!
Conservatives HAVE A MOVEMENT?..
I am a member of no movement.. Im a republican..
“I am a member of no movement.. Im a republican.. “
I gathered that.
“I remember a discussion on FR a while ago about whose side God was on in the Civil War...it was determined that He was on for the Union. I wonder if God would still be on the Union side if there was another civil war?”
Whichever side was on HIS side.
I don’t understand what you’re saying? Both sides thought they were right, and both sides had chaplains and God-fearing men. Do you mean whatever side was on God’s side? How would anyone know that?
They may not know that, unless they searched the scriptures, and their hearts. When war fever strikes, how many people actually do that? Historically, in most wars, none of the combatants are on G-d’s side, and therefore, he may not be taking sides.
In the Civil War, I think that is the case. Both sides were right about some things, and both sides were wrong about some things, morally, as well as Constitutionally speaking.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some liberal in New York City, or Washington, DC, who keeps starting these Civil War revisited threads, hoping to split the conservatives.
See that? He's calling you a liberal Yankee! ROTFLMAO!!!!!
It’s more than even “States Rights.” It was about the damn northeast yankees gaming the system so that the South could never have commensurate political power. It was about them being able to ram Lincoln down the throats of the south. It was about oppression and subjugation, and the oppression of blacks for another century.
I did a search on confederate or Dixie in threat titles and it appears that just about every one of those was started by a reb, Stainlessbanner or Cowboyway for the most part. A search on 'Civil War' results in a lot of threads by Mainpatsfan, who may be a Yankee but seems to post threads out of a genuine interest in Civil War history. Only a search on 'Lincoln' results in a number of Unionist posters. So I'd say that your claim is completely wrong. At least the Yankee part. The liberal part is open to conjecture.
The fact that you are a gigantic d--che bag is not.
Whoopty-do! Another thread about the Great Slaver Rebellion of 1861.
Another dismissive cocky Federal Bootlicker heard from. Let me guess, you live in Yankee land? Just a hunch. Probably in some S-hole New England state?
Where? When?
I missed it.
Sorry, but there aren’t enough yankee conservatives to count. Those folks up there WANT their socialism or communism.
I say let ‘em have it.
Just don’t drag the South down with you.
For a free, Christian South!
God WASN’T on the side of the Union.
Folks forget that Nero was crown, while Christ was crucified.
Might doesn’t make right.
The damnyankees are dominated by secular humanists (ie, liberals).
A free South would have REMAINED a Christian, Constitutional, government.
“Sorry, but there aren’t enough yankee conservatives to count. Those folks up there WANT their socialism or communism.

See what I mean? This individual, and I use the term loosely, is like a seminar caller on Rush. He’s trying to split the conservatives. Are you, by any chance, married to Mary Matilin? Gotcha, you southern liberal.
Virginia seceeds on April 17....my birthday...what a wonderful present!!
OK
Sounds like in war, which side is right or wrong, is relative.
Funny, it always seems like a Yankee is worried about that, never hear a southerner make that complaint, not often anyway. Yankees are afraid somebody is going to escape, "can't have that, we'll go down the socialist toilet togeter".
