The objection to which I responded involved owning slaves, so your comment is irrelevant.
Get this: You are NOT going to change my mind. I find the present collection of anti-Confederates to be a bunch of self-righteous jerks. At best. At worst they’re leftists trying to destroy all of American history.
Yes, the leftist agenda is to destroy American History. I love the United States and see the Confederates and the left as the same. But you have your opinion, and I have mine.
You've hit the nail on the head. The vast majority of them are Leftists. The whole "all about slavery" myth was PC Revisionist dogma pushed starting in the 1980s but Leftists who started their long march through the institutions in the 1960s. They saw everything through the light of racism and the Civil Rights movement of the 60s and they brought this with them in their reinterpretation of American history.
The initial goal was to demonize Southerners and all things Southern.....to try to pin everything on racism/slavery. It was only a short jump from there to the Founding Fathers a couple generations earlier. The overwhelming majority of the Founding Fathers were Southerners and owned slaves (Washington, Madison, Jefferson, Mason, Henry, Monroe, John Jay, etc etc). Once the children and grandchildren had been effectively demonized they could move on to demonizing the parents and grandparents. Thus delegitimizing America.
I pointed all of this out over 30 years ago in college and law school in the early to mid 90s. Lefties swore up and down that that would never happen....that I was just being paranoid. I told them I wasn't a fool and it was plain as day that that's where all of this was headed.
Those on the Left doing this were cynical and IMO evil. Those on the Right who fell for it was just complete idiots. You had to be a moron not to see where that was headed.
