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
