CNN anchor Jake Tapper said Sunday on his show “State of the Union” that the statues of Confederate leaders in Congress are “tributes to traders” that honor political violence like the events of January 6, 2021.

Tapper said, “On Thursday night, the one-year anniversary of the attack on the U.S. Capitol, CNN hosted an event at the Capitol to talk about that horrible day.”

So... You’re a Brit are you now Lampster?.

I say old boy perhaps you may get yourself an audience with the Queen, eh?

What a feather in your ear.., er... in your hat that would be be, wot?

[jmacusa]

Watch this. Watch what happens when I ask these Confederates this question. Like ‘’jeffersondem’’.

[jmacusa]

Hey Reb are you going to ask the question I put to you or not?

If the South had won the war would it have ended slavery?

Yes or no?

[DiogenesLamp]

This is like asking if wheelwrights would be put out of work by advancing technology.

[jmacusa]

Don’t try prevaricating or offering distracting scenarios that have nothing to do with the subject Lampster.

Answer the question as it is. Would the South had ended slavery if it had won the war?. Yes or no?.

[DiogenesLamp]

Probably as quickly as the north would have done absent the war.

When it was no longer economically feasible to keep doing it.

[jmacusa]

The North ended slavery in 1804.

The correct answer for the South is: Never. It had gone to war to preserve it. Something you Lost Causers can never admit to.

And why should would any of you Confederate sympathizer’s answer any differently?

You're Dixiecrats and Confederates in conservative clothing.

[DiogenesLamp]

The North ended slavery in 1804.

No it didn't. I don't even know where you come up with such a crap number. The North had slaves up till 1866.

If this is how you understand reality, it is no wonder that you are so off on your thinking.

[jmacusa]

The ‘’slaves’’ you speak were indentured servants released as the end of the war ending their period of servitude.

My problem with you, you Asperger’s afflicted moron is you continue to spout your stupid bs about ‘’tariffs’’ and ‘’Northern bankers’’; for which you constantly are shown how irrelevant and frankly bogus you argument argument is.

I’m not the type to ever make light of a persons mental or physical handicaps. But in your case I’d make an exception.

[DiogenesLamp]

The ‘’slaves’’ you speak were indentured servants released as the end of the war ending their period of servitude.

No, they were actual slaves. The Northern states did not end slavery until after the 13th amendment forced them to do so.

Slavery lasted 8 months longer in the North than it did in the South.

for which you constantly are shown how irrelevant and frankly bogus you argument argument is.

Actually no. People simply keep mouthing that it is bogus, but they *NEVER* prove it is bogus.

And that's because they can't. They can't because the argument happens to be accurate.

[jeffersondem]

“Hey Reb are you going to ask the question I put to you or not? If the South had won the war would it have ended slavery?” (sic)

I think I know what you mean. Let me answer this way:

The southern states, if there had been no war, or if they had won the war, would probably have abolished slavery when it was in their economic and political best self interest.

You know, the way the northern states did.

In 1865 the Confederate Congress adopted a measure to officially bring blacks into fighting service with an eye toward granting freedom for slaves that served. That was a recognition of significant changes in southern attitudes.

Not sure what to make of it, but history records that Virginia ratified the 13th amendment before Ohio and Indiana.

Louisiana ratified the 13th amendment before Minnesota, Wisconsin, or Vermont.

Likewise, Tennessee approved before Connecticut and New Hampshire.

Alabama before California.

Georgia before Iowa.

Florida before New Jersey.

Texas before Delaware.

Southern states may have been more open to abolishing slavery than you realize.

The Black Codes showed that southern attitudes hadn't changed a whit, any more than northern attitudes had.

By my count this is the eleventh time you have pinged me to this thread. Correct me if I am in error but (minus this post #393) I haven’t been a participant on this thread. I certainly haven’t been in any discussion with you - nor do I wish to be. I have zero interest in indulging your lunatic trolling so please do me a favor and remove me from your pings.

[HandyDandy]

The Union Jack does not a “British Union” make. Give it up. You coined the terms “British Union” for your phoney baloney analogy. You don’t speak about facts. From wiki: “The Union Jack, or Union Flag, is the de facto national flag of the United Kingdom”. You speak only about your own version of events. To be fair, every one of your posts should end with “IMHO”. You make stuff up about the Corwin Amendment, Fort Sumter, Lincoln, Robber Barons, the DC/NY cabal corridor, the great Northern Armada, the “British Union”. You mainly attack the North (right up to the present day). You are a North Hater. Especially a Lincoln Hater. You are the leader of the “North Hating Union”.
IMHO

[HandyDandy]

“It's purpose was to justify a separation from the British Union, and it's reasoning was that it is a human right to separate from a government which people see as no longer representing their interest.“

So you think you can run with your imaginary “British Union”? You are much like Cinderella’s ugly step-sisters who bent twisted and mangled their own feet to try to make them fit into the glass slipper. Because the “British Union” is just like your opinion, man. Please establish that there ever was such an entity before proceeding headlong further into your b*llsh*t. (Unless you are speaking of the British Union of Fascists which came into a brief existence during WWII.) Is that who you mean?
Imaginary entities are nothing to base an argument on. In other words, Colonies revolting against a distant Kingdom, bears no resemblance to States Seceding from a Union. Even though you try to play with words to make it seem so. Perhaps the only lesson to be learned from both Wars is that freedom, in the end, is something to be fought for. To declare independence is to beg for a fight. IMHO. The Southern Aristocrats knew there would be repercussions to firing on the Union Flag of the USA at Sumter, beyond winning Virginia. They had visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads. Those Textile Barrons of the South meant to take their ball and move on. Lincoln felt that the Union (and I don’t mean the “British Union”) was meant to be perpetual and fulfilled his duty as Chief Executive.

I knew several of you had surrendered some time back; I thought you had been exchanged and were back in the fight.

Sorry.

”Southern states may have been more open to abolishing slavery than you realize.”

How many of the States that Seceded, to join the Confederacy, were slave-free States?

[jeffersondem]

“How many of the States that Seceded, to join the Confederacy, were slave-free States?”

The states that invoked the Declaration of Independence in 1861 were like the states that invoked the Declaration of Independence in 1776 - all of them had slaves.

And that raises an important moral question: Can a slave state like - say New York - invoke the Declaration of Independence and seek for itself “full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do”?

[HandyDandy]

Q.““How many of the States that Seceded, to join the Confederacy, were slave-free States?”

A. “The states that invoked the Declaration of Independence in 1861 were like the states that invoked the Declaration of Independence in 1776 - all of them had slaves”.

Is that your final answer? Can’t you try a little harder? That isn’t a very interesting comment. Very very sloppy answer. Why don’t you read the question again for the first time.

“I’m not the type to ever make light of a persons mental or physical handicaps. But in your case I’d make an exception.”

I see Biden is not the only one that thinks trash-talk will make them look good.

I don’t recommend it; especially in your case.
