Also, I have heard that the South lost because of the lack of manpower, the naval blockade, and the lack of quality manufacturing capability...
The "Thanks for the Cotton" remark does seem to indicate a dismissive, patronizing, and perhaps unsympathetic attitude but that is your right.

Why did the South lack manpower? Why couldn't they do anything about the Naval blockade? Why did they lack quality manufacturing capability? Because an agrarian economy can't compete with an idustrial economy.
Look, I'm just sick of this BS. I am beginning to feel VERY dismissive and unsympathetic, because the black American community has drained the sympathy right out of me with their attitude that all whites all over the world are culpable for slavery. Blacks and Arabs in Africa own slaves to this very day! If you don't like slavery, don't embrace Marxism. The fact that black Americans are embracing it with both arms as well as working hard to make sure that white Americans are forced to work to support them via social programs tell me that they have nothing against slavey at all. They just want to be the masters, that's all.
