Bottom line: nobody here is arguing Leftist politics, we're only asking you guys to stop lying about the Civil War.How hard could that be?
Take your meds, take a nap, and try harder.
I did not bring the radical progressive Kevin M. Levin in here. I responded to the use of such a source without proper attribution by TwelveOfTwenty at #466, trying to slip it past me as a credible source.

I must have blocked close to 300 people over the weekend. It turns out that people who admire Nathan Bedford Forrest don't like Jews. Who would have thought?

Of course, anyone who admires Forrest hates Jews because... reasons.
Of course, anyone who admires U.S. Grant must really, really hate Jews. Because, Grant is the General who ordered all Jews expelled from his military district.
Had such progressive garbage not been served up as an appeal to authority, it would not have needed a cleanup.
This notion southerners hates Jews is a fantasy pushed by Hollywood akin to the other one that Appalachia mountain men are worlds most likely to rape other men where in reality they are likely least likely...but hey....why worry about fact when juicy stereotypes are better except when they stereotypes go the other way
Any Jewish person secular or not can examine antebellum history and the CSA in short order and learn that Jews had more freedom and rights granted by Christian southern states to them than ever in jewish world diaspora.
From Natchez to Charleston
The nations largest Jewish communities were New Orleans and Charleston
Not by accident
And Jews in the confederacy ...
The progressives and neocons here know this ....especially I assume the professor does
But they choose to ignore ...
But in fairness....where have elements in the south butted heads with opportunistic and leftist Jews....
The stereotypes of some carpetbaggers....I don’t know how deserved that was....frankly ...but I grew up hearing that from folks who survived the tail end as children
Freedom Riders...yes ....the Klan associated freedom riders with Jewish leftists and reacted.....in a way supported by few downs here.....nobody liked Schwerner or Goodman and viewed them as lefties but nobody supported killing them...i recall conversations about that and other civil rights folks....Vernon Dahmer....a killing my family was intimately involved with helping resolve and seek redress for his survivors....
It’s a reality a lot of freedom riders were Jewish college lefties and it was dangerous for them...Sam Bowers klan were killers ....no question of that ...Dixie mafia with politics thrown in...
Now we have the SPLC ...not a Jewish organization but fairly heavy with leftist Jews and others who like the progressives here associate southerners with about any pejorative flavor of the day they fancy
It’s a two way street to me ....twins looking east and west
It’s serves a political purpose for progressives and neocons
One of my best pals here suggested I read a book to help with my ignorance with Bros Macphersonn/Zinn cuts and pastes about TBLU...the big lead up
After eight chapters on audiobook today ....driving north from Nashville to the top of the ring finger
It dawned on me....the war wasn’t about slavery or states rights as much as it was simply about power
A means to power for a group who’s power had ebbed and saw this as a means to regain it especially since they had always assumed they were the superior moral center of the nation from the time they set foot here
That’s my first glance assumption it may morph...
Never knew Washington and Tom were as intense as they were on their disdain for slavery ...if not for Haiti...a nation I’d wager I know better than anyone on this forum....things might have gone smoother .
Love this book...
Not everyone, but it's not likely that was his own experience. If he got insulting responses, why shouldn't he mention that?
Grant had Jewish friends and business partners and wanted to appoint his friend Joseph Seligman Secretary of the Treasury. Those who want to argue that the Confederacy wasn't all about slavery might reflect that Grant wasn't all about anti-Semitism.
Grant died on Thursday, July 23, 1885. The following day, the Philadelphia Jewish Record declared in its Friday edition, "None will mourn his loss more sincerely than the Hebrew…and tomorrow in every Jewish synagogue and temple in the land the sad event will be solemnly commemorated with fitting eulogy and prayer."
But why are you posting to me when I haven't been active on this thread and have already told you not to post to me?
Seriously? Are you still whimpering about "trying to slip it past you"? I provided a link. You know, that thing you can click on to see the contents of the op-ed, the author, and anything else you want to see about it?
I haven't seen a lot of support from your friends on this. Even they must know how ludicrous your claims are.
Go back to your founder of a failed comic book company if you can't handle reading and opposing point of view.
They don’t like it when you expose their sources of “authority” are almost all hardcore Leftists in Academia.
