Slavery wasn't even a central theme of the Confederacy, poobah. Your attempt to tar supporters of the South as racists is disengenious at best. Remember that part that says, no personal attacks in posts? Perhaps you forgot that...

Hmm. Looks like I misread the post. My error. But it's always hilarious to see that the folks who have the most problem with the Confederacy, reenactment, state's rights, and so on are bigoted Yankees once again trying to deny the cultural expression of Southerners. You can do anything you want in the U.S.A, except raise a rebel flag or celebrate Southern heritage. Do that and you'll be told to "get over it." Hilarious. I guess they feel threatened at some level or have to constantly stick their noses into other people's business. Live and let live. Perhaps it is you who needs to get over being offended by other people's culture? Hmm?

It wasn't? An interesting thesis, completely supported by the facts. Slavery was constitutionally protected; all of the seceding states listed slavery as their prime motivation for leaving; to argue otherwise is akin to the Clinton Administration aide who said that he lied to his diary. Your attempt to tar supporters of the South as racists is disengenious at best.

Gee, I wasn't even attempting that. I'm just saying that in both cases, it's over, and the arm-waving about either subject is getting a wee bit old.

If you could name the Freeper I personally attacked, I might agree with you.
