Trying to erase history

A Juneteenth organizer erases whites from the Civil War’s victory against slavery

Black activists cannot tolerate the fact that slavery ended because of white sacrifices. This wasn’t the fault of the slaves. They were scarcely in a position to help themselves, but the reality is that whites ended slavery, and gratitude has b...

Nobody is erasing the Confederacy from history

We just no longer honor it

White Conservatives: You should show gratitude that whites fought to free you

Blacks: You never should have enslaved us in the first place

Bingo, exactly!

The south seceded over slavery
Everything else followed

The issue of slavery was so entrenched and politically volitile that it led to the Missouri compromise and Kansas Nebraska act to try and maintain equal or greater numbers of slave states vs free states in new territories.

I think the South realized that no matter how hard they tried, most new states rejected slavery. This meant a permanent minority in Congress.

When Lincoln won the election, they reacted like todays Republicans when they lose. Don’t accept the result and stage a rebellion

Blacks fought in the Civil War. Whites didn't sacrifice to end slavery. Nothern whites fought to maintain the union.

Wokeness?

“..but the reality is that whites ended slavery, and gratitude has been replaced with erasure.”

Whites enslaved Blacks, maintained the institution of slavery and fought to keep it. So..yes, they also fought to end it. So did Blacks.

Gratitude is nice and always appreciated but demanding gratitude from the race that was enslaved to the race that enslaved them seems a bit patronizing.

Blacks also enslaved blacks. The slavers in Africa didn't want to see their money machine go either.

Which is irrelevant to our country and our history.

Many also fought to end slavery.

How did they erase it from History? Do they control History?

Wait, someone just posted this on the internet. Therefore it's not been erased.

The thing is this Coyote, blacks fought and died for 244 years to end slavery and I'm not going to be told by some white right wingers how whites died to free us and we should be grateful.

There really weren't all that many African kingdoms that sold war captives. And whites were the main one getting rch from the slave trade. Whites purchased the slaves, that didn't have to happen. Now every time whites get shown the wrongs they have done, stop doing this. You guys demand that everybody else be responsible for their choices. Whites made the choice to buy the slaves and whites made the choice to make slavery legal in this country.

The problem with the crap from the American thinker is that blacks did fight in the Civil War But blacks had been fighting and dying in opposition to slavery from the very start. That is what has been erased.

It's 100% relevant.

Enough to populate north and south America with large slave populations.

There is an old saying about the winners of war. It says that winners write history. I know it sounds cynical, but I think there is truth to it. I was discussing it on a forum once, and I was surprised that people vehemently tried to say that has never happened.

The civil war has two versions. The winners and then the confederate version.
