Former seat of Confederacy takes down last monument

[Mac-7]

We learn history from books, not statues.

So Richmond will be statue-less from now on?

Lee surrendered 150 years ago

Blacks have gained equal opportunity since then

And that still pisses you off.

 

[Redfish]

After Lee surrendered his army, we were all on equal footing. You think?

according to the constitution and our body of law. equal opportunity is guaranteed, not equal results. your results are up to you, not the government.

 

[Mac-7]

And that still pisses you off.

Liar

You are covering up for black failure by fomenting hate toward dead Confederates

 

[Redfish]

Lee surrendered 150 years ago

but the libs want more than equal, they want special treatment based on skin color. simple equality is not enough for them.

They want scripted results

And whites at the back of the bus according to obama

I'm not a fan of honoring those who fought to keep others in slavery. No argument there.

Civil Rights act was signed in 1964
Voting Rights came in 1965....on paper. That doesn`t mean they couldn`t follow Blacks home from the polls and terrorize them.

It was a more complicated issue than you realize

States on both sides had slaves

They fckd that up

 

[pknopp]

It was a more complicated issue than you realize

States on both sides had slaves

I've never argued they didn't but not all were fighting to keep it legal.

 

[Mac-7]

They fckd that up

With help from bleeding heart liberals who are compelled to wipe every nose in the hood

 

[Cellblock2429]

The level of support for the slavers suggests that either there is a large constituency that supports this or that eduction around this neds to be looked at.

The opposition to CRT suggests that it is a mix of the two.

I do wonder if there is an end game here. Slavery aint coming back.

/——-/ Slavery is alive and well through t the world. Just look at the lithium mines needed for EVs.

The war was about states rights

An issue that lingered since the signing of the Constitution

The North wanted tariffs to protect Northern manufacturing

The South wanted free trade with England and France

The North wanted a tight money supply and higher interest rates while the South wanted cheap money

And Southerners were always more divided over independence and loyality to the King than the North

Slavery was a big issue but not the only one as school children are being brainwashed to believe today

States on both sides had slaves

Which side took up arms to defend slavery.

So secession was about free trade and not the right to own human beings.

If the South had won, slavery would have continued. How long, I do not know but it would have continued and there is no reason to honor anyone that would have fought for that.

So you're arguing the South seceded for lower interest rates?
Thats an innovative argument. Can you cite the articles of secession that state that? I can definitely show where they unceasingly talk about slavery.

Which side took up arms to defend slavery.

The South

Or at least some people on the South

But the war was fought over the question of one nation or two

Slavery would have ended in time no matter who won the war

 

[Mac-7]

If the South had won, slavery would have continued.

And it also would have ended no matter who won the war
