The Confederacy was an Evil Empire

[rightwinger]

For over a hundred and fifty years, the legacy of the Confederacy has been sold as a noble Lost Cause of states defending their states rights.

The reality is that the Confederacy was an Evil Empire. One of the worst nations in the history of mankind.

The Confederacy was built on ensuring that the institution of slavery would exist forever,
The Confederacy kept 40 percent of its population in bondage.
The economy of the Confederacy was built around enforced free labor. Labor enforced by whip and chain.
The Confederacy used women for breeding and then sold the children.
The Confederacy considered human slaves as no more than livestock

By any valuation, this was pure EVIL and should never be defended or honored in todays society.

Thats no even half of it. They wanted to invade Mexico and expand it southward.

Was the confederacy a nation or not? All of you retards that harp on 4th grade history, say secession was illegal. Which gave justification for 600K people dying over the economy and a President shitting all over the BoR.

"The Confederacy was an Evil empire," and a Wannabe one at that.

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

Well, at the very least the OP has the sense to realize it wasn't ALL white Americans or ALL America, unlike some (IM2 etc etc etc)

 

[MarcATL]

Therefore those who carry and perpetuate the vestiges of The Confederacy today are evil.

The overwhelming majority of these people are from a lineage of evil, which you've seen me post before OP.

The same people who TODAY carry the Confederate flag and support that ideology in 2024.

And those who seek to defend or honor the ‘confederacy’ today are just as evil.

the motivations of the "elite" planters, who generally avoided the bloody inconvenience of the battlefield seem clear enough,
but the working class men who were rebel yelling their way up cemetery hill probably did not think much about gen lee's employee relations policy at arlington.

 

[Rambunctious]

Do you think celebrating terrorism is also evil?...
How about supporting killing all Jews?... is that evil?... if so then the tables are set just like they were pre civil war... democrats being evil.... nothing has changed...

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The CSA was evil, yes.

Who cares? Every country on earth had slaves. Korea had slaves for 1500 years. There are tens of millions of slaves in africa right now.
So we just need to focus on slavery 150 years ago, from one area of the planet, when it was normal all over the world.
Because "muh feelz"

Doesn’t really matter
They were still evil incarnate

that is the sacred conservative principle "you guys are the nazis so we get to carry nazi flags and tattoo swastikas on our asses." restated as

"you guys are the evil confederates so we get to carry rebel flags and defend the statues of our sacred heritage."

The US does not honor other nations that had slavery
We celebrate the Confederacy

We befriended them.

That excuse is used to defend those in the Confederacy. Only a small percentage actually owned the slaves so nobody else is culpable

40 percent were in slavery. The entire southern economy depended on that free labor. Even if you did not own slaves, you still benefited from a slave economy

Those soldiers who charged Cemetery Hill may not have owned slaves but the survivors still went on to join the Klan and enforce Jim Crow.

 

[BackAgain]

The confederacy wasn’t an empire at all.

It wasn’t even much of a confederacy.

 

[TNHarley]

you still benefited from a slave economy

So did the north. Like when lincoln was subsidizing the north through taxes on the south.
I mean, he didnt start a civil war for nothing
