"What Do You Want Me To Say About Slavery"? Bye Nikki

MAGA just cannot admit it, Slavery was the cause of the Civil War. They paid the price maintaining Slavery. My second Great Grandfather has his small town newspaper burned down twice, once by Confederate Government of Arkansas for not supporting that Government and again by Union Forces after the war.

Why did the Union forces burn it down?

Just curious.
 
Yup the State right they left over was slavery. And it was stupid Lincoln, and the republicans did not have the power in 1860 to get rid of slavery. What the south was worried about was that they would prevent new states joining the Union that were slave states and eventually would have the votes to outlaw slavery. So they went to war and lost the issue when they probably had 20 more years if they hadn't.
The federal government was already banning slavery in new states and territories. It wasn't something the slave states feared might happen, it was already happening. The slave states had recently lost the control of the federal government that they had held on the backs of three fifths of their slaves since the Constitution was signed and they could see the abolitionist handwriting on the wall. Slavery was doomed within the United States, it was only a matter of time until enough new free states were admitted to the union to pass an Amendment banning slavery.

What Sherman did in his march to the sea, was pretty common conduct in civil wars. As civil wars go, the ACW was uncommonly civil. Few, if any, massacres of rebel troops, not many actions taken against rebel civilians, no tribunals hanging prominent rebel citizens after the war.

Sherman's march to the sea did not go thru Arkansas. Also, 0311 said that it happened after the war.

The Union Army of Occupation (according to what I've read) was rounding up former Confederate Soldiers accused of attacking Union Soldiers and some them were hung. Great Grand Dad posted a letter of protest he had sent to the Military Governor. The Governor responded by burning his printing plant. It took over year for Grand Dad to rebuild. He kept a copy of that letter in a desk at his home.

Unfortunately, post-war murders are common after every war. Sounds like the Military Governor didn't want word to reach Washington & East Coast newspapers about what his soldiers were doing.

My Great Grand Father lived in..........wait for it........ARKANSAS. There was only ONE Civil War Battle fought in Arkansas. Major General William T. Sherman's March To Sea took place in Georgia (burning Atlanta and Savanah).

The Battle of Pea RIdge was fought at Benton Arkanas between March 6 - March 8, 1862.


Confederate Forces under the command of Major Earl Van Dorn were defeated by Union Forces under the command of Brigadier General Samual R. Curtis. My Great Grand Mother lost a brother in the battle. Her other brother died at Gettsyburg.

And it's a fact that without white people in America we would not have the bitter race problems that plague the country today.
And w\o whites there would be still mass tribal warfare amongst all of the native tribes blah blah blah blah. Black tribes across the pond fucking hated each other. Black tribes sold millions of black slaves to N. African muslims for 1,000 years before the usa was a country.
 
And with whites there is mass tribal warfare amongst all of the modern day tribes.
Wrong, if you took out blacks and browns the murder rate in the US is similar to more white countries. The people engaging in tribal cultural warfare are leftists waging war on whites.
