[Timmy]

Reconstruction started in 65’. The 60 election was virtually identical .

Show me.

The US Mint and Currency was going to take Alexander Hamilton off the ten dollar bill and use Harriet Tubman but that is the Executive Department and Trump vetoed that idea.

Actually, they were going to take Andrew Jackson off the $20 bill. I would replace Ulysses S. Grant with Harriet Tubman on the $50 bill, before I would replace Jackson with anyone. Or, I would create a new denomination of bill, such as a $30 bill, and put Tubman on it. Jackson and Grant have very mixed records, especially Grant.

Grant is on the fifty dollar bill and Cleveland is on the hundred dollar bill and both are dead presidents, Chase is on the thousand dollar bill but Chase was never President and the thousand dollar bill was discontinued decades ago. Who uses cash these days?

Statue sold for $1.4 million. Why are we removing the in the first place because they owned slaves and that makes it racist today. What’s next all our money? George Washington owned 30 himself is he know a piece of shit? The Left gets offended by EVERYTHING in the past because they’re personally so inadequate in the present. ‘Robert E. Lee & The Confederate Soldier’ Sculpture Removed From Dallas Park Sells For $1.4M

He was a traitor to the United States who killed more US troops than any enemy ever.

Wrong.

Not wrong .facts.

You can put all the lipstick on that pig, he’s still a textbook traitor.

Actually, no, that is still wrong. Having been corrected, continuing to regurgitate it is a lie.

Explain ? The guy literally is a traitor in every definition of the word .

We should replace his statue wh one of Chelsea Manning . Who is 1,000,000x less a traitor than Lee.

Burn all of Oswald Spengler's books and especially 'Decline of the West'. Hitler studied Spengler when locked up.

Why would Republicans care?

Remember, they are always telling us they defeated slaveholders in the south.

Why do they idolize a traitor?

I thought it was Jackson

Andrew Jackson is on the twenty dollar bill and is a Dead President. Alexander Hamilton was never president but got in a duel with Aaron Burr who was Vice-President. Who won that duel? I will give you three guesses and the first two don't count.

What does that have to do with Harriet Tubman ?

The confederacy killed Americans, they are and were the traitors.

The Confederacy attempted to leave the country civilly and without violence. It was Lincoln who forced things into the realm of military action.

I would suggest that Constitutionally the Confederacy was far more correct than the Federal Government.

Except that Lee is/was a traitor!

 

[Pogo]

Cool, except for the fact that they were traitors thingy!

Lincoln and his Northern “handlers” were the ones acting in an unconstitutional manner, not the Confederacy.

Ya gotta break an egg to make an omelet.

Democrats drew first blood.

Both lessons for our time.

Oh really.

What "Democrats" might this have been? Lincoln??

You know the CSA had no political parties, right? Who does that leave?

 

[Pogo]

Again, that he betrayed his country and fought to maintain slavery...

Oh, he had a very tough existence, the poor thing, living on a plantation.

Actually, the Mexican American war is a war we should be even more ashamed of than the Civil War. We were completely in the wrong on that one.

1. He fought for his state. The "country" was a "Union of States". The US was much more localized back in 1860. They fought for States' Rights, not just slavery. Slavery was the norm back then, they didn't know what political correctness was. Cheap manual labor was necessary to succeed in farming. There was no real farm machinery. Your idealistic view of the 1860 world is laughable.
2. Show me after his dad died when he was 11 where he owned a plantation. They were essentially beggars living with family.
3. Who is ashamed of annexing Texas? Not most of us. Mexican–American War - Wikipedia
4. If you were drafted to fight in VN what would you do? The power of the "state" has demands.

Funny how you regulate the owning of other human beings being wrong just a matter of political correctness.

I guess if it were deemed PC you would gladly own other humans?

What's wrong is applying 2019 politically correct norms to ancient history. Trying to criminalize what was not against the Law.
I don't support slavery, but if I lived in ancient times it would be the norm, to use cheap manual labor. It was not against the Law, was it?
Tell me you support full benefits and the minimum wage for farm workers, so that your fresh produce costs triple or quadruple?

The idea of not owning other human beings is not a matter of political correctness...no matter how many ways you try to whitewash the institution of slavery.

There is no comparison to low wages and being owned. Fucking pathetic you would try and compare the two

The reality of owning human beings is alive and well in 2019. The UN estimates that about 40m humans are current slaves. What's pathetic is that you act as if slave owners were mass murderers. You do not factor in normal practices of the era. I don't blame the founding fathers for owning slaves, I blame Wall Street and K-Street for outsourcing jobs and factories keeping the middle-class poor.

My point being that great generals like Robert E. Lee, or the US Founding Fathers, and their statues, should be revered, not destroyed. Yes some of their statues were destroyed by mobs. Why? Because they "owned slaves", which was the norm back in that time.

From what ass do y'all pull this bogus bullshit?

Is it by chance........... orange?

Once AGAIN, y'all can make shit up 'til the sun comes down, doesn't change the history. Which is ironic, since y'all keep leaning on this crutch about "waaaah, destroying history sob" which completely IGNORES the history of the Lost Cause that fucking PUT THEM THERE. "They owned slaves" doesn't have SHIT to do with it.

​

The first monument he's talking about --- first one New Orleans removed --- was a plaque celebrating a coup d'êtat takeover of the city by a white supremacist organization called the White League. Another one was a statue of P.T. Beauregard. In my state we have "Silent Sam" out at UNC Chapel Hill, erected (again) by the UDC and dedicated by a CSA vet who praised God for CSA having "saved the Anglo-Saxon race" and recounted how he had "horse whipped a Negro wench" near the very spot. NONE of those subjects were Robert E. Lee and none of them owned slaves. That's not the criterion and never has been.

As for Robert E. Lee himself, he specifically left orders to NOT be statued. So if the UDC puts a Lee statue up and a city takes it down ---- guess which one is actually honoring his wishes.

Aren't you the same wag who's never heard of the cotton gin?

No it's because he lead the confederate army in a war against the United States of America. A war that killed over 600 thousand American citizens.

Do we erect statues to the Germans who lead the nazis in a war against the United States and the world?

Do we erect statues to the British generals who lead the British army against the colonists in the revolutionary war and the war of 1812?

Do we erect statues to any of the generals who waged war on the United States?

I don't know of any. Except in the south. Southerners erected many statues to generals and men who waged war on the United States of America.

I don't know of any patriotic American who would want to have a statue to anyone who lead any military against the United States of America. Much less men who are responsible for the deaths of over 600 thousand American citizens.

Fuck off, bitch. The North tried to put tariffs on cotton and vegetables and sugar from the south. That's what the war was really about, dumbass

That was in fucking 1828 under Quincy Adams, DUMBASS.

Submit Marion. Go on over to Stormfront with the rest of your type.

Maybe you didn't know this, but if blacks made it south of St. John's or Mary's river, they were considered free agents, baby.

Nope... Not true in the real world. According to the US Census, in 1860, Florida had 62,677 black people of which 91.49% were enslaved. 44% of the total population of Florida was black slaves.

But isn't made up history so much more fun?

C'mon down heanh then, boy! We got summin' for your ass! You think somebody 'round here is your pawn or something? Hah! Fuck you! LMAO.

Have you ever loaded a watermelon bus? No? Well, you're probably a sorry sack of shit then.

I have a whole actual library. I can take pictures of reference pages and all that.

I know it cost my loved ones about $2K+ and they did that for me, God Bless them!
Pogo knows, I've smacked him b4.

Grant is on the fifty dollar bill and Cleveland is on the hundred dollar bill and both are dead presidents, Chase is on the thousand dollar bill but Chase was never President and the thousand dollar bill was discontinued decades ago. Who uses cash these days?

I just got paid in cash, literally moments ago. Whatzit to ya?
