The war ended you lost sorry you don't have the right to own slaves anymore get over. Lincoln was not the father of big government in this country. He didn't even have a bodyguard. Wilson, who shared your pro confederate view of history, was the father of big socialist government in the US. Flame away.

This good ol' boy is making a career out of telling this forum how good slavery really was and how ignorant us non-southerners are for not getting it. A one-trick pony. Be careful or he may really get hissy and threaten to kick you a**

I'm not so sure we lost if you consider this:

Well now, I don't hate yankees. As a matter of fact, I feel sorry for them. If I'm not mistaken, they lost more soldiers in the war than we did. After the war was over, did they hold that against us? No. They immediately started a massive Reconstruction program to help us.

While they were busy helping us get back on our feet, elements of the southern population quietly infiltrated their cities in the north and by the middle of the twentieth century there were parts of their larger cities that they couldn't even drive through. And then, a hundred years after they thought that they had won the war, these Confederate special forces did the same thing to their cities that they had done to Atlanta.

Now if that wasn't bad enough, during the last decade of the twentieth century, they elected a southerner president that made a complete mockery out of the whole Federal Government and a laughing-stock out of the elected representatives of several northern states when they tried to defend his shenanigans.

Then to add insult to injury, at the dawn of the twenty-first century, they were hit with lawsuits for reparations.

I tell you folks, my heart goes out to our blue-bellied buddies and I’ll never refer to them as damned yankees again.

LOL( yes we did lose more guys then you did you need superior numbers to overrun trenches Sherman of course just went around trenches and burned their supplies). As for Clinton he didn't do one hundredth of the damage to this country Wilson did.

No I'm not defending Clinton and I am not a socialist( I have a picture of Pinochet on my profile page for chrissakes). I'm just saying that Woodrow Wilson did a lot more damage to this country then Clinton did.

Your knowledge of Texas History is also poor. He was not Pro-Union, but Pro-TEXAS....he was a slave owner, and even though he was opposed to secession, his two sons both fought for the Confederacy, with HIS blessing...and he also refused to betray Texas to Abe Lincoln.....

Good Try!

I don't think that we can take credit for Wilson but we did do a lot of damage with Johnson, Carter and Clinton.

Seems I recall he was deposed as govenor for opposing secession. I also believe he said in essence that he didn't think the South could win.

I would also rank Johnson and Carter as worse than Wilson. My hatred for Wilson runs very very deep the Northeast was the most conservative section of the country before his progressive( communist) pals passed women's suffrage.

You are correct...he did say that, and because of that, he supported the idea of Texas once again becoming a Republic. But...once the course was set, he suppported Texas in their decision.
