The CSA was Democrat.
It sounds like something from a black-face minstrel show - you know where whites joke that black people don't know how to talk, or even to count to 19.
I suspect that even 150 years ago freedmen knew how to count to 19.
In the Old South landowners did not attempt to deprive agricultural workers of basic knowledge. If they had wanted to do that they would have forced their workforce to attend public schools.
Ahh ...sorry didn’t know !
Whatever the blue states were, they were able to cling to slavery longer that the CSA.
Here's an interest fact: of the original 13 states, 13 of them were slave states.
But of those 13, only 13 voted to enshrine slavery into the United States Constitution.
Those slave states were New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island, and Delaware.
Also, North and South Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia were slave states. Don't ever forget to cast 4/13ths responsibility in that direction.
“This will make 11. “
I’ll admit that I haven’t been paying too much attention.
I thought that the number of Federal Holidays was limited to 10. Did the limit get raised, or is this a one-time exception like when Christmas Eve is made a holiday to make the streets safer?
Christmas Eve is not a federal holiday. And I'm not aware of any statutory limit on the number.
“Pimped by the same white lefties who use them...”
And don’t forget the role played by the Harry Jaffa, Claremont College, Proposition Nation conservatives. Close cousins of the neoconservatives and their Trotsky fan club roots.
Polar opposites to the Russell Kirk view that once defined conservatism.
Anyway the Claremont crowd may not intend to be fellow travellers of the America despising Left but they open the door to it. They practice the moralizing and condemnation of America’s past that the Left loves, they just want the demonizing to stop at 1865. The Left simply takes the logic of that moralizing critique and keeps running with it. Sow the breeze, reap the whirlwind.
‘S OK. DIDN’T KNOW MYSELF UNTIL RECENTLY.
“The CSA was Democrat.”
Another episode of the ever popular freeper game “don’t know nothin’ about history”. People habitually imagine that post-Civil War voting reflects what went before.
The Confederacy had no political parties. Elected officials of the CSA were split between former Democrats and Whigs, President John Tyler being an example of the latter.
12 this year because of Inauguration Day.
It’s a Texas holiday on June nineteenth. It’s meant to celebrate the end of slavery in the US. Would be more correct to celebrate it on the anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation ( September 22, 1862 ) or when the 13th amendment was ratified ( December 6, 1865 ).
All this is a butt kiss to the left.
I guess they forget when there was opposition to the MLK Day holiday. Most of those who disagreed with the new holiday believed that state and federal employees had more than enough holidays already. They do.
The extra day will probably only get added to the end of the school year. So they’ll be delaying their summer vacation by at least a day (even more if it involves a weekend). But they’re too smart to figure that out.
Except for the ones in the Northern states.
Except for the slaves held in Northern states.
Except for the slaves still being held in Northern states.
The Democrats of 1860 were like modern Republicans, and the Republicans of 1860 were like Modern Democrats.
The party's switched philosophies in the intervening years.
Agree. MLK was a Communist lover. Juneteenth is more worthy.
No, the CSA was filled to the brim with traitors.
The South was using the Federal Government to trample on the Norths States rights via the Fugitive Slave Clause. They had no problem using the Federal Government to advance thier interests.
