well technically it was the poles bailing out the austrians who were fighting ottoman janissaries but still

I got a set from sabaton that i bet even Astrovious wont get

"Know that peace comes at a high price
It may take a thousand lives
And a deep belief
Sacrifice of men"

and yes this is from sabaton

yeah, but it was also their historical enemy

they had fought the ottomans since mihai the great

Can anyone explain the "party switch" in the south

It was brought up during a conversation

when the Democrat South and Republican North swapped places, but policy was the same it was just the people that switched.

Explain 😅

Basically there's this myth/theory that in the 60s the racist redneck democrats at the time were angry that their party passed the Civil rights act so they all switched sides en masse.

How do I debunk that

Well I don't have the evidence currently, but I'll tell you from my own knowledge that the South didn't become majority republican until the 90s.

And here's the funny thing. Most older southerners I've talked to tell me that there were still lynchings well into the 80s but it virtually ceased after.

Just watch this

Thank you @Fear & Frank In Las Vegas @Deleted User

I don't believe it's pure coincidence that the amount of lynchings in the south coincided with how democratic it was.

I actually never knew why the south switched. Thanks for sharing this

PragerU has a vast number of opinions.

It's not like they're full on brainlet.

Do we have people who believe in the Lost Cause here?

huh?

what lost cause

The Lost Cause is a Historical Theory that believes that the Confederates' cause was a just and heroic one, and it was a War of Northern Aggression.

The North was fighting more for the preservation of the Union

lost cause is retarded

I'm kinda not big on the whole "slavery" thing and glad we got rid of it, even if it means my state was on the losing side of the war.

The south broke off thinking the first thing Lincoln would do was abolish slavery

There's one big thing I discovered that can disprove it.

It was even in the CSA's constitution

hold on imma find it real quick

I think it's that

Hold on

(4) No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in slaves shall be passed.

It needs some censoring lol

Sec. 2. (I) The citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States; and shall have the right of transit and sojourn in any State of this Confederacy, with their slaves and other property; and the right of property in said slaves shall not be thereby impaired.

So basically, The Civil War was indeed a war caused by Slavery

But the driving factor was the secession of the CSA

The American civil war was like two roommates who hate each other.

The South didn't like the North bossing him around and wanted his own room.

The North didn't like the South enslaving people and wanted him to free them, but understood that if the South left they'd both have smaller rooms.

That pissed the South of and they started fighting.
