So given that you clearly support the Confederacy, does that mean you were/are pro-slavery?

And lets be clear. The Civil War was primarily about slavery, no matter what the revisionists say.

Well, as long as we're being over the top silly...

Another way of saying, “Slavery (and racism) are southern problems, not global problems; and certainly not “American” problems.

Just to be clear: of the 13 original states that formed the United States, 13 of those states voted to adopt a Declaration of Independence that protected slavery, and voted to adopt a constitution that provided for slavery.

And of the 13 slave states, 9 of them ended up fighting for the Union; four of them fought for the Confederacy.

At the time of Lincoln's war, the Union's constitution provided for slavery. Lincoln twice swore an oath to defend the Union's pro-slavery constitution.

Please correct me if I have misstated anything.

The civil war was about slavery just like all the middle east conflicts are about human rights. If anyone actually thinks that, they’re extremely naive.

I’m Albertan, but even here in western Canada we know that war was about centralizing power, and the beginning of the globalists plan in the USA.

London issued two emancipation proclamations during the American war of independence- Dunmore’s and Philipsburg. Seeing as slavery would have ended 90 years earlier had the rebellion been put down and the secession of the colonies prevented, can we conclude that you think the wrong side won?

Fricking yankees. Didn’t understand squat then; don’t understand squat now.

BTW, rewriting history to make it seem that the war was primarily about slavery was the first instance of revisionism. What you think of as “revisionism” is just the effort to set the record straight.

You were obviously educated in a yankee school system. It was economics not slavery. Do some research.
