It’s just the same stupid crap from the same people. This thread had nothing to do with that subject.
FLT-bird: "My first post in the thread discussed the cultural differences that have existed between the South and New England literally dating back to their origin in England - ie the early 1600s."
My point was: there are plenty of "cultural differences" among all states & regions of the country, many dating back to our origins in whichever "old country" our ancestors came from.
But in 1860 there were no "cultural differences" except slavery which could drive otherwise patriotic Americans to declare secession and war on the United States.
FLT-bird: "Then OF COURSE you know who just had to come along and say everything was all about slavery slavery slavery......because that one note is all he can play.
Nevermind that it had nothing to do with the thread. "
The thread's article does not ignore the Civil War:
FLT-bird: "Nevermind that it [slavery] had nothing to do with the thread.
Nevermind that it wasn’t a political issue until the 19th century.
To him the South = slavery.
There is no room for any other thought in his head apparently."
The essence of the Lost Cause lie is that slavery was not the most important reason for secession & Civil War.
Something else, anything but slavery, was the "real reason" -- so Lost Causers keep telling us.
In this thread our Lost Cause FRiend FLT-bird gets the opportunity to flog that horse without even mentioning the word "slavery", and then to take offense when the word is introduced.
The article itself ends this way:
Happy Thanksgiving!
Years ago I saw a bit of an interview with Trump's sister who is a Federal Judge in New York, I think. The interviewer asked her if she every got into arguments with Donald when they were growing up.
She replied "I used to, but I quit doing it because he always wins. He always wins. "
I think Trump is going to produce a miracle of overturning this fraudulent election in those swing states. I think Trump will be our President for another four years.
Where we are is you are trying to hijack a thread about the South and how it has often been unfairly mischaracterized by the Yankee MSM to somehow pretend everything is about the object of your obsession - slavery, which was only a political issue in the mid 19th century.
I’m praying he wins. But even the best general can’t win every battle.
I see you are obsessed with slavery, just can't stop talking about it, even while criticizing someone else, and you can't stop inserting your own false narrative into the actual historical record.
Slavery must have some control over your mind, FRiend, you might even need therapy for it...
Really, get some help.
Stop lying about it.
;-)
LOL!
Ho hum. The same guy obsessed with same crap. Y’know the thing this thread was absolutely not about. But which he just can’t help himself but try to dredge up, YET AGAIN.
Sad.
Sad.
The daily obsession continues.
So sad.
It truly is. You need to get over your obsession.
Sad.
Agreed. It’s sad how obsessed you are.
You’re pathetic, FRiend.
You’re the pathetic one who keeps hijacking threads to argue over this same subject again and again and again. You’re the one who’s pathetic FRiend.
You’re so sad.
Every day you pathetically show your obsession in this thread.
Get a life.
You are pathetic.
"If they did, you'd see a wave of states follow. Something like this to start with:"
" With Georgia surrounded and taken over by its own people soon after, then NC, followed by the midwest states in red falling next."
