whoops
Industrialization sucks anyways
Return to monke
China agrees
Spoken like a true southerner
Yes
Oh is that because you lost?
No that's because it sucks
dude lets just stop arguing over the confederates
Industrialization is great for many things, but also leads to lack of self sufficiency
Nuh uh
stop
industrialization has improved the lives of millions
yes, don't disagree
If the colonies lost the revolutionary war that wouldnt have made them wrong
Southerners always be looking to rationalize the Confederacy's actions

yes
We weren't fighting to protect an immoral trade
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>

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
