Yep. They still want their segregation and their separate but equal nonsense. He is right however saying it wasn’t a war to free the slaves. All slaves had to do was get across into northern states before being hunted down. That’s what the 14th. Amendment was all about. The Emancipation Proclamation was nonsense too. It didn’t free any slave. It was basically an executive order by Lincoln. It was pandering to the border states which were slave states that did not declare their secession from the United States before April 1861.

I’m well aware that Lincoln had no desire to free the slaves. But however one looks at it, slavery WAS the reason for the war. My main bone of contention is this nonsense they push about the right to secede and how they wanted to be ‘’independent’’ and the undeniable fact that underneath all of Southern heritage’’ nonsense is the fact that those Southern plutocrats deliberately provoked a war and fired the first shots in that war that took the lives of 660,000 Americans. Consider if the South had won, what do suppose America would look like today?
