Unpatriotic Dems In Virginia Erases Confederate Holiday

[Ame®icano]

Well at least the North and Union states never had slavery.

The North (UNITED STATES) did have slavery...but they abolished it.....without waging a war to do it....

....

You seem to not know that 6 Union states had slavery during the Civil War.

How many had slavery once the war was over?

Shows what the war was about

The Union states of Delaware, Kentucky, and New Jersey still had slavery after the Civil War was over, and all of the Confederate slaves were free.

A few months

The 13th Amendment made it clear what the war was about

Yes it's clear that all 56 votes against 13th amendment came from Democrats.

Virginia eliminates holiday celebrating two Confederate generals


Dems in Virginia show their hatred for the constitution and the patriotic spirit of America by once again attacking the Confederacy...This time they do it not be taking down a statue, or changing a state flag, they do it by eliminating perhaps the greatest American holiday aside from Independence Day and American Jesus' birthday....and that is....Confederate Day...

"The Virginia House passed a bill that would eliminate a holiday celebrating two Confederate leaders and instead make Election Day a state holiday. Lee-Jackson Day honored Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson...Now, Virginia will no longer observe Lee-Jackson Day as a state holiday, but they won't be one holiday short. Election day, which takes place nationwide on the first Tuesday in November, will become a state holiday, WTVR reports."

WTF?? A holiday for elections?? Once again, the party of slavery shows its ugly face..First you dems lost the Civil War and you lost your slaves...and even today, you Dems are losing more slaves (As in blacks) -- since they are leaving the Democrat plantation and voting for Trump.....and when blacks find out about Confederate Day being eliminated for Election Day -- I anticipate even more of them will be outraged and join the republican party in protest...

So now out of desperation, you want to dishonor the legacy of the 2 greatest abolitionist Democrats ever by doing something like this? Just to make it easier for more people (and by more people, I mean illegals and muslims) to vote in future elections by making election day a freaking holiday??

Remember this face....this is the America hating black racist that crafted this bill...State Senator Louise Lucas......This is the proof that the Democrat party, the party of slavery, the party against American values continues to attack and erase the very thing that made America great -- the Confederacy...

The bottom line (even though the majority of soldiers that fought for the South didn't own slaves), Confederate Day, is basically celebrating those Southern leaders that wanted to continue buying and selling human beings as though they were livestock. Even in this day, in Georgia, they still refer to the loss of the Civil War, as the "Great Disappointment." I'll never understand the mentality of considering it acceptable to buy and sell, men, women and children. It's inherently evil. So, since it was ended, perhaps those who generally celebrate it, take the opportunity to create a different kind of celebration day, one in which ALL can be proud.

But thanks to the Lost Cause movement they were able to seize the historical record as galant revolutionaries fighting northern regression rather than a nation where 40 percent of the population was in bondage.

Not to mention that no Republican owned the slave, meaning that all 4.5 million slaves were owned by Democrats.

Oh my, do you read books?

Unlike most of you, at least I read the books, and not relying on "just online sources" filtered to revisionist's views. Latest book I read was from Bruce Chadwick - 1858 Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, Robert E.Lee, Ulysses Grant . One before that from Ulysses Grant himself - Personal Memoirs, that I read because of the another book from Ronald C. White - A life of Ulysses S. Grant (you could learn a lot about Democrats starting KKK from this one).

You could not be Republican back then if you were pro-slavery, or owned the slave. Period. Northern and southern Democrats were all pro-slavery. Period. You can't refute that, because it's truth.

No shit Sherlock. 9th graders know about the Dems 100 years ago. You need to read more than one book or the back cover of one book to know American history. 3 years ago Trump learned that Lincoln was a Republican and he too thought that he was the only one who knew that.

Personally, I've not researched the ratio of Democrats vs Republicans owning slaves before the Civil War, however, Dinesh D'Souza, who is an immigrant and claims to have done his research, at first insisted that no Republican prior to the Civil War, owned a slave, but in later debates/speeches, he says that he did find that there were five Republicans that owned slaves until the Civil War. I'll have to stick with that for now, as the man is able to quote the sources he has researched on most matters.

Those that actually had the vast majority of slaves in the world, were....drum roll here...the Muslims. Their Koran encouraged it and it wasn't until the early 1960's that the one final Muslim nation officially abolished it....on paper...wink, wink.

And yet --- I just had a wag ( 2aguy ) try to tell me "the Democrats started the Civil War and fought the Republicans".

You'd like to say it was war between north and south, but in reality, it was war between Republicans and Democrats.

republicans who supported the confederacy? but hated slavery?

democrats who WANTED slaves and slavery but FOUGHT against the confederacy?


you are truly deranged


and THAT is why you vote trump

Where have I said Republicans supported confederacy, moron?

Today...in 2020......who are the ones most likely to have a hissy fit whenever a confederate monument is taken down...

A republican

Or

A democrat....


There is no need to go back to what either party did 150 years ago....I am talking today....

Very true
And Democrats in the North did not own slaves

Does that make it a North/South issue?

 

[Pogo]

The definition of lunacy:

A. Pretending the Civil War was a war of political parties (can you be any more moronic?)

B. Having a holiday in the first place, that commemorates the side who started a war, because it wanted the right to own other human beings, and lost that war.

C. Being all butthurt because folks no longer wanted that bizarre holiday to be a holiday.

D. All of the above.

You are good product of leftist education, aka, know nothing that is not in your favor.

Why stop there? Let's see...

Pretending that Democrat party was not party of slavery.
Pretending that Democrat party was not party of lynching laws.
Pretending that Democrat party was not party of Jim Crow laws.
Pretending that Democrat party was not party of KKK.
Pretending that Democrat party was not party of segregation.
Pretending that Democrat party is only party of civil rights.
Pretending that parties switched...

Shall we continue?

Maybe what we should do is start a GoFundMe to buy you a history book and some glue to keep your eyes open so that you're forced to actually read it.

There's no such thing as a "party of slavery". Slavery --- we understand we're talking about the transAtlatnic African version, not the one-tribe-conquers-its-neighbor version found on every continent throughout history ---- was a commerce activity.that started in the sixteenth century. Not only were there no political parties extant but those slaves were sold all over the Americas from Brazil to central America to the Caribbean, NONE of which have ever had a "Democrat Party". And by the way the "Democrat Party" does not exist either. *NOBODY*, *ANYWHERE*, not in North America, not in South America, not in the Caribbean, NOWHERE, has ever needed a political party to own, buy or sell slaves. EVER. Your assertion is as absurd as if you were to claim "the Republic Party is the party of bread".

MOREOVER, when the Slavery question came to a head in the mid-nineteenth century, the Democratic Party's position was "popular sovereignty" -- leave the question up to each state as it came in. In other words do nothing and hope the issue resolves itself, which was the same thing all the other parties did to that point. That proved to be unpopular, which is why the Democratic candidate for POTUS pulled zero electoral votes from what would become the Confederacy -- the same number as Lincoln got there, whose name wasn't even on the ballots.

I've already schooled your ass on the KKK, which has never had a party in any of its iterations. Just as I schooled your ass on the mutual shifting of the Duopoly parties at the turn of the 19th/20th century, a lesson you continue to try to drown out wiht

Ignorant wuss.

Actually slavery existed in the south for 200 years before the Democratic Party was formed

300 years actually,

Over which time they were being shipped and sold in the Caribbean and South America in far greater numbers, where the Democratic Party has never existed at all. And the poster's been told this repeatedly, yet here he is trotting out the same bullshit expecting different results.

600,000 African slaves were brought to the US.
Twelve million were captured and sent to the Americas. Four and a half million to Brazil alone.

That means 95% of those slaves went to places where the Democratic Party has never existed.

From this, following American'tdo's logic, we must conclude that the Democratic Party curtailed the slave trade, bigly.

Once again, the party of slavery shows its ugly face..First you dems lost the Civil War and you lost your slaves...and even today, you Dems are losing more slaves (As in blacks) -- since they are leaving the Democrat plantation and voting for Trump.....and when blacks find out about Confederate Day being eliminated for Election Day -- I anticipate even more of them will be outraged and join the republican party in protest...

So now out of desperation, you want to dishonor the legacy of the 2 greatest abolitionist Democrats ever by doing something like this? Just to make it easier for more people (and by more people, I mean illegals and muslims) to vote in future elections by making election day a freaking holiday??

Remember this face....this is the America hating black racist that crafted this bill...State Senator Louise Lucas......This is the proof that the Democrat party, the party of slavery, the party against American values continues to attack and erase the very thing that made America great -- the Confederacy...

The bottom line (even though the majority of soldiers that fought for the South didn't own slaves), Confederate Day, is basically celebrating those Southern leaders that wanted to continue buying and selling human beings as though they were livestock. Even in this day, in Georgia, they still refer to the loss of the Civil War, as the "Great Disappointment." I'll never understand the mentality of considering it acceptable to buy and sell, men, women and children. It's inherently evil. So, since it was ended, perhaps those who generally celebrate it, take the opportunity to create a different kind of celebration day, one in which ALL can be proud.

But thanks to the Lost Cause movement they were able to seize the historical record as galant revolutionaries fighting northern regression rather than a nation where 40 percent of the population was in bondage.

Not to mention that no Republican owned the slave, meaning that all 4.5 million slaves were owned by Democrats.

Personally, I've not researched the ratio of Democrats vs Republicans owning slaves before the Civil War, however, Dinesh D'Souza, who is an immigrant and claims to have done his research, at first insisted that no Republican prior to the Civil War, owned a slave, but in later debates/speeches, he says that he did find that there were five Republicans that owned slaves until the Civil War. I'll have to stick with that for now, as the man is able to quote the sources he has researched on most matters.

The Republican Party didn't exist in the pre-Civil War South; it didn't organize there and didn't put a POTUS candidate on ballots there until Grant in 1868. It had only formed seven years before the War began. And the Democrats were only formed in the 1830s. Therefore the overwhelming majority of slaveholders had no political party at all, as no parties even existed for the bulk of that time. Our first slaveholder POTUS, Washington, had no party. There weren't any.

D'Souza may be counting Grant, he was a slaveholder before the War.
