Sunni Man, if that is true, then the South should have lost because of certain defects included in our founding document. Some, such as representation and freedom from religious intolerance, have been worked out peacefully. But the issue of slavery had to be eliminated by warfare because of the South's inhumanity to mankind, its hatred of personal liberty.
And, Kevin, the Sons of the South nonsense is getting old. The Confederates, like our Republicans in the last election, lost. Choices have consequences. Deal with it.
IMHO, you are overlooking the fact that even after the emancipation proclamation freed all the slaves in the Confederate states there were still over 250,000 slaves held in the Union states, so where do you get off claiming the South was the inhumane one when it was the Union that required the 13th Amendment to free the Northern slaves?
The North had emancipated its slaves long before. The South and some of the border states would not emancipate after getting their collective csa butts kicked, so it required the 13th amendment. Those bad states had to approve the amendment to get back into the Union. Rightfully so.
The Sons of the Souths' mentalities are traitors, pure and simple. No need to listen to them, and their children are being educated appropriately on this issue. Not to worry. The home and parochial school get it in college and university. Good for them.
