But y'all are forever going on about the evil Yanqui elite that oppresses you. You pretty much take it for granted that Lincoln was a tool of the railroads, banks, and manufacturers.
Your own Confederate leaders were also quite wealthy and privileged men, perhaps even wealthier than their Union counterparts, but some of you just don't see that.
I don’t find it necessary to try and psycoanalyse the folks having a ball in Ohio, I think they’re just honoring their past and having fun. Did it ever occur to you that it really can be just that simple?
Sure. For them it is. They're not the ones obsessing over the Civil War the way the secessionist klavern here is.
I doubt they think that everything that happened since 1865 has been a mistake, or that they have that strange mix of hyperpopulism and superelitism that y'all do.
As opposed to the imaginary yanks that invaded the South?

As opposed to Lincoln the Emancipator?

I've never seen anyone dispute this. Something wrong with wealth? Are you saying it's ok to privileged and elites as long as they're your privileged and elites?
Sure. For them it is. They're not the ones obsessing over the Civil War the way the secessionist klavern here is.
Oh, I see, it's ok to have a ball as long as you toe the pc correct line. Since I understand the Confederacy was right, according to the logic you employ here, that knowledge negates my right to honor my past and have some fun. I'll let ya keep your pc and just do it my way.

Considering where we've been and where we are......I'd say it's evident there's been a mistake somewhere. Ever hear the saying, "you break it, you own it"? Well, the Confederacy didn't break it.
or that they have that strange mix of hyperpopulism and superelitism that y'all do.
You don't know the South at all.
