Secession wasn’t illegal until 1869.

The north still had slaves.

The person who created secession was James Madison, author of Bill of Rights and Constitution.

Almost no one in the confederacy owned slaves.

The 10th Amendment made each state its own country.

Without the context of these facts, you’re advancing the lies of modern Democrats.

Robert E. Lee could have headed the army to invade Virginia. In fact Virginia was one of the last states to secede. General Scott asked Lee to head the force on behalf of Lincoln, because Lee worked with him in the Mexican-American war. Lee was an artillery officer. Also one of two cadets to go through West Point military academy with ZERO demerits.

Because Virginia was a COUNTRY - he declined, because as I observed above, almost no one owned slaves. Most white people were poor farmers.

Look at Jackson taking 13,000 men and his Shenandoah campaign - taking on three Union armies of over 75,000 men - while Lee defended Richmond from General McClellan in the Peninsula Campaign.. Virginia was invaded. Men and women who did not own slaves - which was mostly everybody - would die. So Jackson and Lee defended their sovereign country.

Jackson funded a school for his slaves during the entire war. Which was illegal. But didn’t free them because they’d be lynched and would economically be in a poor position. Lee only had slaves through his marriage. Called it a morally repugnant institution.

Before calling it the War of Southern treachery - ask yourself - how much do you know? And how much do you think you know?

Amen

It was a war between anti Federalist South and Federalist North

All confederate veterans are American veterans as deemed by Congress. Their descendants have fought in every war since. And southern men make up a huge chunk of the armed forces including the Marines. You should be thankful we are your brothers.

Lee was pardoned in 1975

Confederates ancestors also received pensions from the US government.

Isn't Monument ave Federally protected, since it's a national landmark?

It is, technically.

That’s why Northam got hounded.

Then the vandals should face stiff penalties

Agreed

oh my

Nobody contests whether or not General Lee was an honorable man and strong general, I'll give that

People who do, are merely ignorant

America is great!

@Coldburger Agreed!

Anti racist is code for anti White

don't be mad, MOST women love living in their imagination and are Satan's first pick when it comes to breeding destruction and weakness. It's a SIN to imagine yourself in someone else's shoes, playing God. Makes your ego feel holy, men got to over come this nature.

Can we just have a civil war already so we can kill Leftist without legal repercussion?

That wouldn't be good

The U.N would send in troops

Itd be another allied assault

How is everyone enjoying the burgeoning apartheid state

So far I am still safe because I live in the north, but soon I will have to move further to the north

A beta today told me they only liked Halloween because of the scantily dressed slut costumes and he called me gay for saying slutty costumes are distasteful, cringe, and slutty

Worst I saw around here was people blocking traffic

If I can see all of it advertised out loud and proud like a Chinese fish market then it takes away part of the excitement of finding out

Very sad

Some shooting here and there around to the south of me because the whites are focused on a poor girl that got taken by the river rather than the shooting and rioting

The Capitol is sort of bad but not where I travel through when I go there
