The Hell is a confederate?

2017-03-23 21:59:52 UTC  

2 different things

2017-03-23 22:00:00 UTC  

Either someone proud of their southern heritage

2017-03-23 22:00:03 UTC  

Or someone who hates niggers

2017-03-23 22:00:03 UTC  

Youll learn in school in a year or two lol

2017-03-23 22:00:25 UTC  

kek

2017-03-23 22:00:44 UTC  

Confederate flag has multiple meanings

2017-03-23 22:00:47 UTC  

After what I just heard about them, I'm not too sure if I want to know.

2017-03-23 22:00:56 UTC  

Not all confederates are racist though

2017-03-23 22:01:54 UTC  

Most people who fly them are not racists

2017-03-23 22:02:02 UTC  

Just keep that in mind

2017-03-23 22:02:39 UTC  

Okay, guess I should be open to learning about 'em.

2017-03-23 22:02:44 UTC  

Basically, in the latter half of the 19th century in the US, the northern region and southern region were really divided, the south was pro racism and the north were abolitionist.

2017-03-23 22:02:58 UTC  

The south was under-represented in politics

2017-03-23 22:03:26 UTC  

Is that what you call 'the civil war'?

2017-03-23 22:03:31 UTC  

Yes

2017-03-23 22:03:54 UTC  

Ah, I think I've heard a little about it.

2017-03-23 22:04:08 UTC  

The south seceded from the US, forming their own country

2017-03-23 22:04:13 UTC  

The Confederate states of America

2017-03-23 22:04:25 UTC  

But my knowledge came from South Park, so it's probably not accurate.

2017-03-23 22:04:28 UTC  

Essentially the US is a federation

2017-03-23 22:04:42 UTC  

Kids already watching south park

2017-03-23 22:04:46 UTC  

Lol

2017-03-23 22:04:49 UTC  

And the Confederate states were a confederation, which means the states have more control over themselves

2017-03-23 22:04:58 UTC  

And the federal government is weak

2017-03-23 22:05:05 UTC  

I love that show. It's bloody hilarious.

2017-03-23 22:05:09 UTC  

Where as in a federation, the federal government is more powerful

2017-03-23 22:05:13 UTC  

Yeah it's pretty funny

2017-03-23 22:06:03 UTC  

Okay, so they separated into two different countries, and they separated again, but into sovereign states.

2017-03-23 22:06:34 UTC  

No, only once they seperated

2017-03-23 22:06:46 UTC  

Then the civil war happened and after the union one they came back

2017-03-23 22:06:49 UTC  

South lost the war

2017-03-23 22:07:08 UTC  

Oh, that makes more sense.

2017-03-23 22:07:15 UTC  

I think it's kind of bullshit though

2017-03-23 22:07:58 UTC  

America wanted representation and Britain didn't give them any, so they did a revolution

2017-03-23 22:08:09 UTC  

The south wasn't being represented near as much as the north

2017-03-23 22:08:20 UTC  

What exactly is PUBG?

2017-03-23 22:08:31 UTC  

And I think either way, eventually the South would abolish slavery

2017-03-23 22:08:54 UTC  

This is possibly my best history lesson in a long time.

2017-03-23 22:09:05 UTC  

Who knows the whole war wasnt all based around slavery and racism
