Do you enjoy your bloated, overreaching Federal government in DC? That’s exactly what Lee was fighting against. Slavery was a dying institution at the inception of the War of Northern Aggression and would have died of natural causes. Slavery has been extinct for almost two centuries and yet, the African American community continues to blame “slavery” as the cause for many of social and economic issues plaguing their community in the present day. Lee was an honorable man.
It would have died of natural causes? What a laugh. Tell that to the people who were actually owned by other people in 1860. Lee made a bad choice, and shouldn’t be lionized for it.
‘Slavery was a dying institution at the inception of the War of Northern Aggression and would have died of natural causes.’
false; the institution was alive and thriving in the Confederacy, but several states were running up against depleting resources and opportunities...this is why the slave states expanding westward became such a contentious issue...
that they would have given up slavery without a fight is nonsense, especially not at the instigation of the federal states...in retrospect, both contending parties were guilty of one of the oldest shortcomings of human history, namely, crass exploitation of labor; but slavery is crasser than a permanent poverty stricken underclass that was the northern model...
Then it doesn't make a lot of sense for the south to launch a rebellion to protect an institution that was on death's door. Perhaps it was because none of the southern leadership of the time thought it was a dying institution?
Big daddy like other myopic south bashers here enjoys self righteousness especially over race
In today’s man it’s supplanted horniness in the pecking order of emotion for many
