She’s Right About Civil War

[Bush92]

She’s a racist. CNN was right about that

More a tacit racist imo. Like saying "the plane crash survivors were possibly eaten by pygmies in the South American jungles." That is, thinking pygmies are no different than indigenous tribes in S. America, and I'm not sure there are/were any cannibals in S. America, and I'm pretty sure pygmies never ate people.

She is correct socialist. See racism in your dreams don’t you?

#1) The Confederate States had ceceded from the Union, wrote a constitution and sent diplomats abroad.
#2) The North invaded the South.
#3) The Federal Army had whole units of immigrants who did not speak English. If you had a bunch of Germans marching through your town...you would think them as foreign invaders.
#4) When a confederate POW was asked by a Union officer, “ Why are you fighting this war soldier?” The confederate answered, “Because your down here.”
So the confederate soldier felt they were defending their nation.

If the South wanted to be left alone, why did they start the war by firing on a U.S. Federal installation that was doing nothing to them?

That "federal installation" was within the boundaries of South Carolina. The troops there were trespassing on Carolina territory. Shooting trespassers has always been acknowledge by international law as perfectly legal and legitimate.

When, really, they were only defending the right to own other human beings as property. Very sad. And we memorialize their propagandist , lying, evil leaders with statues? Embarrassing.

Read the story from a Confederate soldier. Educate yourself.

Look dude, no matter how much you wish you could own another human being, your side lost and that is now illegal..

Just get over it and move on

Typical yankee douchebag accusation.

No she's not. Most of the confederate soldiers were poor conscripts fighting because they had no choice. The wealthy slave owners (and their children) were allowed to pay their way out of service.

The South not only wanted to continue to enslave their blacks in perpetuity but they also wanted to expand into the new territories as well. That's why the war was fought.

She's a closet racist and will most likely win. After all, ah, Mississippi.

Read the words of a Confederate soldier. You are partially wrong.

In America, it is illegal and unconstitutional to write your own constitution.

Not in their opinion. They felt they had voluntarily joined the Union, and could leave whenever they felt it necessary.

That was also the opinion of a lot of Northerners, including Horace Greely.

That's mainly down to the Daughters of the Confederacy as I have it. Trying to make sure daddy wasn't misunderstood, I suppose.

My great(x3)grandfather never owned another human being. He did his duty serving in the Louisiana Cavalry (Bailey Vinson's Scouts). My great(x2)grandmother (his daughter) wrote about his sense of duty to his family and homeland. He also had no choice, but he did his duty.

Are you telling me that he wanted to own other humans and risked death to do so?

This is why they push revisionist history. They know idiots like you will believe it.

History gets revised all the time, moron. The idea that it's set in stone is upheld only by numskulls.

 

[bripat9643]

It was also to destroy State's Rights, and make the Federal Government of the North dominant.

Yep. That's why there's no southern representaion in our govt to this day.

Great way to show that you haven't got a clue what the principle of state's rights is.

If the South wanted to be left alone, why did they start the war by firing on a U.S. Federal installation that was doing nothing to them?

Why don't you go find yourself a good history of the Civil War and answer that question you have that should have been answered by your high school history teacher?

You DENY that the South seized federal Property mobilized an army BEFORE the North and attacked Fort Sumter?

Why are you putting words in my mouth that I did not say?

You told him to learn history when he stated a historical fact the South started the war when they fired on the fort. Lincoln hadn't even called up the Militia at that point.

The problem with your post is that it's not a fact. Lincoln started the war. Lincoln invaded Virginia.

Scholars argue over the causes of the war but there is little disagreement as to how it started. Early in the morning of April 12, 1861, Confederate guns around the harbor opened fire on Fort Sumter and thus began America's bloodiest war.

WRONG when South Carolina JOINED the UNION they ceded the property to the FEDERAL Government it no longer belonged to South Carolina. If the South were not bent on STARTING the war they would have negotiated the forts return rather then attack the troops in the fort. At that time Lincoln had NOT even raised the Militia he was trying to talk to the South.

Wrong as usual the unprovoked attack on Federal troops at Fort Sumter started the war at that point Lincoln had not even called up the Militia. He was still trying to TALK to the States leaving the Union.

The simple fact of the matter is, the north wanted to free the slaves and the south didn't. The civil war was inevitable at that point.
