No... I was piling on.
Because of revisionist history that the Confederate flag stood for racism, when it didn't
Well it sort of stood for slavery though.
It didn't until the KKK co-opted it in the 1920's or so.
Wow... so Rudy just compared the Fulton County video take to the Zapruder Film of the Kennedy assassination. That's both ballsy and stupid.
That was second-wave KKK.
NO, not at all. It was the flag for the Confederate States of America. And, sorry to point out history, but though slavery was a major contention and thankfully we were able to end it, it was not the main point for succession.
Pretty sure it was.
Pretty sure it was explicitly stated in multiple letters of secession.
He did that on a previous video... Or maybe I'm wrong and this is the same video.
Well, we can go with emotion, or we can go with factual history. either way
The red background with blue cross and stars? That was the Va Battle Flag
It was like in the first sentence of each declaration.
He says all kinds of nutty things @JD~Jordan
But is that factual?
Like I said I couldn't even watch it.
You really think that slavery was not the main reason for succession?
@JD~Jordan and I kind of Wonder why YouTube doesn't ban it. I'm not advocating banning it, I thought that was their new policy.
It is not a matter of thinking. I am glad it was abolished, but it wasn't the main reason. Certainly the catlyst
They were paranoid after Abe won and were very angry that they thought he'd take away their slavery, which is basically what their economy ran on.
There were also issues with currency and states making treaties with foreign nations
LOL, really what was? State Rights?..... well yeah... a State's Right to choose to have slaves or not
there was a lot that went into it.
FYI... I teach History
It is a shame we needed to go through it to finally abolish slavery.
FYI- revisionist history is not history

I was joking.
Ok, then educate me.... why did the southern slave states decide to succeed?
I can't teach you to read too.
I just put numerous reasons why
States rights is a cover story in my opinion.
I agree.
Yep. The only State's Right that they were concerned with was their "right" to own people.
I am only stating that we need to put forth all of the reasons for the Civil War, and not just one.
Exactly
No, that was not the only thing. Like I typed earlier, there were several factors. But slavery was a big one.
which is why even the black slave owners sesnt their black slaves to fight in the civil war
One could say it was the primary reason.
One could say that, but one would be inaccurate.
Sure there were all kinds of issues but at the end of the day it all fractions out to slavery. Sorry, but that's the truth.
