Rebels get shafted in any version of history book

Cuz muh slavery

Because they were morons

We aren't playing the leftist game either though, we remember abraham lincoln for his ACCOMPLISHMENTS, not the things he did wrong. everyone fucks something up

Why'd some slave states join the union then

And why'd the union accept them if they hated slavery so much

Lincoln was certainly not perfect but we look at the one thing he did mostly because it overshadows everything else in this circumstance, he freed the slaves lol

Lincoln was a great president

No he didnt

Now definitely not with the emancipation proclamation

He was dead when they were freed

So like, is your position that we should have been conservative before the slaves were freed? We should have just let that one slide?

Wat

Your fcking confederates killed him

Just like, conserve the position of slavery. Like it was good that the democrats were conservatives back then? I'm still so confused of the point of this argument

He was the mastermind behind his side of the war, he caused the north to win because without him they probably would’ve been at a disadvantage. After the war, slaves were freed, without the war they probably wouldn’t have been for a long time

Slavery literally wasnt even popular with people who werent filthy rich in the south cuz it kept them poor

And they still died in the tens of thousands to protect their homes

Which ended up getting burned down anywags

Without them ever having owned slaves

🤔

Except none of them were actually fighting for that since the only fuckers in the country that actually owned slaves were the rich

Well I just had a thought. Were the democrats actually conservative back then, or were they just stupid? I mean part of the way the abolishment of slavery was justified was invoking constitutional rights.

The parties arent really comparable to modern ones

Both of them were very different from their modern namesakes

Like, according to the constitution, keeping slaves is completely unjustifiable, right? So they had no right to have slaves to begin with.

Why were the slaves not sent back to Africa ?

I don’t really think they were conservatives

After the abolishment

Cuz lincoln was shot lol

He was gonna ship them to liberia

Yeah I mean I think they were actually trying to conserve something that was never allowed to begin with. ..

If you could rewrite history what would you change about that era

It’s not funny you dumbass

Yes it is
