You have a simplistic class based view of the war

I am from here.

I think I know better than you why they fought.

Having been told by my grandparents who were told by theirs who actually lived it.

The fought a bossy know it all hypocritical invading North

Kind of like today except this invasion is for jobs

Painting the war as pure class ware fare is pure Alinsky revisionism

We are a distinct peoples down here

Fading fast though

Hope you’re happy and I pray those streaming in have learned why they left and don’t repeat it

Some have and appreciate us...and we welcome them

Others ...like you likely

should stay away

BTW....you don’t know jack shit about why we defend the south here

Presumptuous

I tried to think of a reasoned response to your rambling disjointed diatribe but I'd just be wasting bandwidth. I'll let the Principal say it.

fungoboy here sounds like he’s parroting a book a have in my library- ‘The American Civil War’ by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.

Yeah, that Marx and Engels.

Those two fools were likely the first ideologues to insist that ‘class struggle’ was the explanation for the War Between the States. At least they had the excuse of having never set foot in the United States and of being addled by communist nonsense.

Anyway, it’s always amusing to see some modern neoyankee ‘conservative’ waving the same manure around, thinking that he’s discovered the Holy Grail, when in fact he’s doing nothing more than parroting two of the founding fathers of leftism. But it’s not like he’ll be alone, we can name a whole passel of fellow travelers for him here at FR.
