“all you haters of the Confedercy”
That’s me!
Two of my ancestors fought to preserve the Union and abolish slavery.
The Confederacy did fight for states rights......to own people. Without the issue of slavery, there would have been no Confederacy.
Patriots that believe in freedom for all people, should all hate the Confederacy.
“Two of my ancestors fought to preserve the Union and abolish slavery.”
Sure they did y’all. Nice antifa allies you got there.
The North was just as hypocritical about African Americaqns as the South! Draft riots and antiblack sentiment was rife in the North. More African-Americans died under union reconstruction than on Southern plantations! There is plenty of hypocracy to go around. Many of the yeoman Southern fighters could care less about slavery and were fighting for individual rights against yankee encroachment and for their property and land.
I had ancestors on both sides. I bet even my Union ancestors would tell you to GFY!!!
They were all Americans.
And the same went for the North...
Hate the hate...yeah.
Hate the people...nope.
That's my take,,,,
Saw a humorous bumper sticker at a gun show awhile back; went like this, “great grandpappy said if I’da known things was gonna turn out this way I woulda picked my own cotton”. Funny with subtle statement within....
