Lol so you don’t think people that love the confederacy serve in military? Lol this is funIt is confederacy believers still serve in the militaryNo one is saying slavery was ok in 1860,, in the previous years it was, conquering era.. to bad, suck it up... did you know blacks owned slaves,,, one Ellison would breed slaves for sale, even white slaves didn’t do that.More fallacies.. if you were a 5th generation slave owner, with the same slave family, that was your family.. and they knew on their own they would lose the protection of their family.. Robert e lee after the war had the one of the first black only schools in HIs HOUSE! Lol no one wanted slavery in 1861, they just didn’t know what to do with them,, the two different cultures could never co exist, and that is true. But most southerners didn’t have slaves lol they wanted state rights.
I am sure some of the farmers were fond of their horses too. Doesn't make them family.
And the reason Robert E. Lee had the school in his house after the war, was because he would have been prosecuted for it before the war.
You are right about one thing. Most southerners didn't own slaves.
They would lose the protection of their family? So who protected them FROM their family. Tens of thousands of slaves carried scars from the whippings they had received at the hands of their owners or his foreman.
16% of the slave owners in Louisiana were black, we had thousands of free blacks.. in the 1860’s elite democrats wanted slavery, no one else.. southerners didn’t want the north telling them how to end it and when
Yes, I am aware that there were black slave owners. That changes nothing in this discussion.
But back to the idea that removing confederate symbols from US Marine Bases is somehow wrong.
What the hell is a "confederacy believer"?
And if they do serve in the military, they are liars.
Since you never enlisted, I will help you out. Every person who enlists in the US Military takes the following oath:
""I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.".
