BS . The Union owes the Southern states for invasion & pillage. The wrong side won in 1865 .
Amen to that.
If the South won we’d all have flying cars by now.
give them reparations in Confederate money....
“The wrong side won in 1865.”
Just for clarification, do you believe that slavery, as it existed in the south at the time of the civil war, should have continued to be legal?
If so, I think that is an untenable position.
Perhaps a better case could be made for saying the war could have been avoided while preserving states rights. Abraham Lincoln wanted to end slavery, but he also wanted to preserve the union even more, no matter the cost. I personally consider him a hero, but what if he was wrong?
It could be that allowing the southern states to secede and then forming trade alliances designed to punish slave-owning and slave-trading nations could have continued to erode the slave industry out of existence. We will never know.
Regardless, there are more people treated as property today than any time in human history. Western / Christian ideals of human freedom were the catalyst for change worldwide, but these are now being rejected in favor of the horrific human rights abuses of fascists regimes of the world, including the leftists that control this country today.
