destabilizes the Souths whole economy and gives you an influx of soldiers

helps spark resistence

*oooooooooooh*

I don't think there were really that many black regiments thiugh

there were a few

*Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord*

Still, one less worker for the south

so perhaps the goal but not sure of actual impact

And a potential recruit for the north

*He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored*

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Colored_Troops

Though I dont think the average american north or south would be okay with that

Is that a kid as a drummer?

*He hath loosed the fateful lightning from his terrible swift sword*

*His truth is marching on*

really the help in destabilizing the economy, encouraging rebellion and making the North more welcomed as liberators than invaders was probably greater than the soldier aspect

***Glory, glory, hallelujah!***

and the moral high road don't forget that

Yeah I get that now. Damn, that makes alot of sense as a strategic option as well.

that was how they sold the population on it

And the fact that it can be used as a moral choice is a bonus

just like hte war on drugs

also racism is and industry these days more than cultural change my mind

I felt like singing some Union marching songs since y'all was talkin US Civil War

a move to jail political enemies, sold as helping the nations health

an industry *

What are you guys talking about?

you

Ew

abolition and the war on drugs

strategic moves sold under the idea of being morally good

How the abolishment of slavery was also a strategic manuever

Huh

The war on drugs clearly failed

It was a disaster

Abolishment, and gambling as well

Abolition I mean

idk, fucked the blacks and Mexicans over pretty good

And it's pretty obvious the emancipation was a maneuver

Failed in terms of getting rid of drugs sure, but that's not necessarily the victory condition

given that was part of its reason for inception, i'd say its been working well

Free slaves, and they'll join your side

And fight like demons

The war on drugs, oof

and welcome your occupation like liberators

Yeah

I'm not sure how much that actually helped

like the US entering ww2 European theatrr

I don't believe for a second emancipation was for humanitarian reasons

we sure this was the republicans? this sounds like the democrats now a days

hahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahaha

no

selling their ideas as morally good, so people ignore their occupation

Well Democrats have been on the side of slavery for decades

"we are fighting for the blacks *just don't look at what our polices have done to keep you under foot*"

The KKK in fact

Was a militant wing of the Democrats

kkk was absolutely dem

"come join our side! *just ignore that we are just using you as a military tool*"

antifa is dem

Antifa isn't dem

most lib repubs couldn't be bothered to care in most cases

its supported by dems

bullshit it's not

I dont think the antifa are explicitly dem

there is a difference

Antifa is much more complex

the dems support antifa

But the left dont seem to bother complaing or criticizing them

They started in germany decades ago

antifa is... strange

antifa doesn't support the state

They are silent on antifa or say they are the "good guys"

Yea, antifa align with democrats ideologically

antifa aligns more. to the dems

therefore they are, in a respect, anti-dem as well

But I dont think the antifa support the dems

But antifa wasnt made by dem

especially with occaia socialist dem etc

But the opposite is true

Like the KKK

The left is constantly playing Antifa apologist

Antifa has been spreading throught europe

Even when they're beating people uncinscious

For decades

if you asked and average antifa member who they would or did vote for. in 2016

Sweden, Germany, France, UK

would it be trump. or Hillary?

And this includes the Dems, so I dunno how much more support you want

didn't Germany have a similar problem like antifa before Hitler won office?

Yes

Hillary/Voter ID is racist @LotheronPrime

Commies kept trying to violently overthrow the republic

Antifa is really interesting

Voter ID laws being racist dates back to when it was actually being used by racist

They're more aligned with communists

bit everything else in life requires an id

They've even been spreading in left leaning indian states

so saying people can't be smart enough to get one is racist

I remember when a guy went to Harlem and asked black people for voter ID
