I think it is wonderful that Juneteenth is going to be widely celebrated.
It should be a day of thanks by Blacks to all the Whites who died for their freedom in the Civil War.
They should visit all cemeteries and place wreathes and flowers and take up collections to pay reparations to the families of all Union Soldiers who died to make up for their loss.
“It should be a day of thanks by Blacks to all the Whites who died for their freedom in the Civil War.”
We have all heard it said that Lincoln and the north “fought to free the slaves” and, indeed, it is a glorious sentiment.
If it is true, we should be able to read Lincoln’s first inaugural address and find where Lincoln said the coming conflict would be about freedom for the slaves.
I can’t find anything like that in the text.
What I do find is Lincoln saying he would fight to seize weapons of mass destruction - I meant to say, fight to collect taxes.
