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

I mean, yeah kind of

History is written by the victor

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
