Dude, if I have to explain what irony is to you, you’re lost. Go back and read all the nonsense you post about ‘’evil Yankee bankers profiting from the slave trade’’ and ‘Lincoln being a tyrant’’ and Washignton DC the nest of vipers and warmongerer’s against the noble South and all that other delusional bs you Lost causer go on about. And now all of a sudden you’re trying to call someone out in saying Northerners when into the South in the civil rights era just to cause trouble.
I'm asking why they were there. Why does someone travel from Massachusetts, New York and such to Mississippi? Weren't there enough problems in Baltimore, Detroit, or Washington?
Is there a political power angle to this? I'm suspecting there was. Look up "Free Soil Party", and be amazed that it was headquartered in New York instead of Chicago. Why people a thousand miles away cared about conditions in the territories doesn't make any sense on the face of it.
But if you look at the political power equation, then it seems to have a pattern, and that pattern always seems to favor dominance for North Eastern political preferences in Washington DC.
But I didn't ping you, I didn't consider you reasonable enough to even contemplate the idea.
Regarding every effort at upheaval, look who is poised to gain.
Cui Bono?
