Like the medical field.
It was I don't even know what happened..
Generally = General Lee.
I see now.
@busillis Come on! That was Dad Joke comedy gold!
Getting all Confederate on us... Sheeesh!
That's been "canceled"
IIRC General Lee was like, one of the few Confederate Generals that was respectable. Could be confused though.
Right
The Duke boys are terrorists.
Racist terrorists...

Were they actually racist or just because of the car?
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
