Funny, I don’t remember asking for these snowflake’s useless opinions.
Did they bring it up because the oh-so-righteous Northerners brought it up?
Perhaps so. I mean, we’re talking discussions going on nigh 40 years to this.
Don’t be deluded about how important slaves were to Northerners. First of all, slavery was allowed, period, including in “loyal” states. Abolitionists were not overwhelming. Just like today’s liberals, they were the loudest and the most obvious for same. Plenty of Yankees said they were not interested in dying for some black slave.
Please tell me where these “revisionists” are and how much power they have over the narrative. You won’t find any of that revisionism (if it is) in textbooks today, nosirree.
Nope.
Actually genuine grammatical fanatics would argue the opposite. The problem is that one of the most natural verb forms in speech is the subjunctive which is used to express hope, fear, uncertainy, tentiveness, conditionality, etc. Unfortunately one of the mania's in so-called English education has been to drive the subjunctive out of the language, with the College Board which runs the SATs right at the top of the list.
If you admit the subjunctive then a correct English expression is "If I were king, I would abolish Taco Tuesday." The were is subjunctive and derives from the equivalent Anglo-Saxon verb form There is/was a present tense English subjunctive which uses the form "be." So, "He be lying" is actually a correct grammatical expression, as in "I think he be lying." vs "I think he is lying." The former is a tentative hypothesis; the latter a statement of fact that could engender a slander suit if you are wrong. But it takes modern Marxists to excise a natural form of expression that exists in almost every classical language in the world. We lose because our language is less rich as a consequence.
Yup, and maybe, just maybe the author is a racist liar. Could be...
These Dem lies are destroying us. Our military has some 9 % LGBT. I threw out fags .
Just read the original article of succession from South Carolina. At the start the South said it was about slavery and the North said it was about preserving the Union.

“For more than a century, school districts preferred textbooks that taught students about “happy slaves” and framed the Civil War as a disagreement over taxes.”
Psychobabble bullshit.
At 59 years old and having attended public school my entire life, the above statement is a flat-out LIE.
We were taught about slavery, the underground railroad, Booker T. Washington, the abolitionists and more. NONE of that would've been taught if there were "happy slaves."
The author of this crap is a complete idiot. Correction: complete LYING idiot.
Asking all white people to feel bad for all racism is the equivalent of asking all black people to feel bad for all crime.

And who sold them into slavery in the first place and lots of them today adhere to islam.
AAVE = Ghetto Retard. I work around all kinds of people and it’s obvious who is dumb as a box of rocks.
The bottom line is that if it were not for the unfortunate existence of slavery in North America, then those American descendants of slaves (including those alive today) never would have existed. It is only through slavery that these certain people actually met and procreated. As distasteful as slavery is to us today, it is the only reason many people are here as genetically unique living, breathing human beings today. Some good can come from bad.

Though this be madness, yet there is method in ‘t.
“ White people felt so bad about children being locked in cages that the anti-immigrant Trump administration changed its family separation policy. ”
The author should realize that the Biden open borders are going to have a huge negative effect on black Americans. They will compete for housing, jobs education funding etc.
