you don't believe in the founding principles Confederacy as defined by the original Confederates

I also don't believe it should be Constitutionally protected either by ANY governemtn, as it was by the Yankee government at the time the South seceeded.

Again I will ask you. If you don't believe in slavery, even though it was Constitutionally protected by the US Government prior to the 1860's, does that make you a neo-American?

[Poohbah]

In the sense that we've moved that far from the Founding Fathers' original ideas, it absolutely makes me a "neo-American."

The only constant is change. Verily, change is inevitable--unless, of course, you are dealing with a vending machine.

The Confederacy refused to countenance any limitation on the growth of slavery--that is why they seceded. They would look at you and say "you're no Confederate." Slavery was a bedrock value for the Southron elites. They'd look quite askance at the defenders of the Confederacy here on FR for not defending slavery and for attacking slavery in the Union.
