yes

We weren't fighting to protect an immoral trade

Which is why i love playing devils advocate<:KEK:726877368601411624>

you think the average person in the south was fighting for slavery lol? you're sadly mistaken..

thousands of letters beg to differ

the south was fighting to protect states rights

not slavery

Cleet the sharecropper who sold his farm to buy a rifle was toally fighting for that rich dude over there to keep bossing people around

Specifically the states right to slavery

I know, however it was also regarded as "A Rich Man's War" (think the Nickajack and West Tennessee rebellions)

funny how that works out

I also like how not a single civil war era song mentions slavery like at all

their right to legalize slavery

exactly, only the rich in the south could afford to own slaves.. many of the average southerns resented slavery because it took all of the employment they had available

Other than 1 i know that was making fun of plantation owners for being fat and lazy and stupid<:KEK:726877368601411624>

can I ask something

cuz they were

Which apparently was popular on both sides

It's hard to get people roused to fight when your propaganda machine consists of "Go die so us rich folk can keep slaves"

instead they sing the songs of states rights, and northern agression

Probably cuz that wasnt what was going on

why do African americans ask for reparations when everybody else throughout history have had it worse

Yet ironically by fighting on the side of the South, they were protecting that

especially the jews

in Egypt

kewk

when really the whole thing was bankrolled by rich plantation owners so they wouldn't have to face the dawn of a new era and risk not being rich plantation owners anymore

then were enslaved for thousands of years

All my homies hate rich plantation owners

They got off their asses and were productive

Maybe, but they were the main benificiaries of the Civil War

Even southerners allegedly fighting for them<:KEK:726877368601411624>

so you were fighting for them, even if you didn't know it

every race at one point of time got enslaved

Not me

I wasnt in the civil war

Okay Southerner

Collective you

Maybe in a past life i was

That would explain a lot

in a past life i was a midget
