I'm not a fan on Lincoln and his actions but wasn't killing him a bad idea for the South? He was is favor of more lenient policies towards the former confederacy than the other northern politicians.
So Judge Andrew Napolitano, born in Newark, New Jersey is apart of "the ONLY PEOPLE who think Lincoln was a tyrant?" I beg you to do research on this subject. Even look at what people like Andrew Napolitano and Thomas DiLorenzo are saying. Hell, go to Library of Congress and see for yourself what Lincoln has said in his own words. You'll walk away more informed.
John Wilkes Booth killed Abraham Lincoln, who was preparing for a peaceful reunion with the south. Because of this, Andrew Johnson took power and punished the south with a hard, oppressive reunion.
Wilkes actions hurt the south more than any other man's.
@SonicobbsessedR2 By "peaceful reunion" do you mean burning Atlanta, Columbia and Charleston to the ground and killing hundreds of thousands of people? Clearly it was Lincoln's actions that hurt the South more than any other man's - not Booth's. Booth's action was a small measure of justice.
@RedShirtArmy >implying the south didn't destroy ft. Sumter first then allow the north to invade. By peeaceful reunion i meant the actions after the war, reconstruction. not during. peace in a war started by the south is absurd.
@SonicobbsessedR2 The South merely evicted Federal troops from an SC island. The Feds were there for the stated purpose of taxing Southerners, who were no longer part of their "union." None of those Yankee troops were killed. They were allowed to leave with their property and flags. Lincoln used it as an excuse to call up a massive army and invade the South. Lincoln started the war. The South just wanted the foreign soldiers out of SC so they couldn't tax Southerners.
@RedShirtArmy Yeah, because trying to kill them isn't just as bad. It was only by luck any soldiers escaped alive, that certainly wasn't the intention. And excused me, how does a fort of 85 soldiers on an isolated island "preserve the taxation of southerners"? They where there because the fort was government property and decided not to withdraw, its not like they had much real military power by staying there.
@SonicobbsessedR2 They were allowed to leave, they didn't have to "escape." Once they surrendered they left with military honour. The fort they were in controlled the harbour. It was the Feds' centre for inflicting their hated tariff upon Southerners. Obviously, an independent SC could not have a foreign government stationing soldiers in its primary harbour. None of it would have been necessary had the Union soldiers left. They had plenty of opportunities.
@SargentMugen What he did was kill half a million people, burn Charleston, Columbia, Atlanta, etc. His invasion led to the rape of thousands, the murder of helpless people, the burning of churches, crops and whole cities, etc. This is not justifiable. The Union was once voluntary. Lincoln made it a forced Union, an empire. "Saving the US" is not worth killing half a million people. The US is just a government. People's lives are far more important.
@SargentMugen Sounds like the excuse of every tyrant in history. I'm sure Hitler, Mao and Stalin would all agree with such statements. In fact, in Mein Kampf, Hitler applauded Lincoln's actions and was inspired by the Union's genocide of Southerners and the Plains Indian nations. Hitler was a big fan of Lincoln.
@SargentMugen Lincoln was "insane" in the same way. He wanted to break the South economically & politically & establish centralised rule over all of N. America. The war was only "inevitable" because Lincoln started it & prosecuted it. The South offered to end the fighting many times. All Lincoln had to do to end the war was stop the invasion of the South & order his troops back home. The blood shed & destruction would have ended. But Lincoln didn't want that - he wanted to break the South.
@RedShirtArmy Well, the South ISN'T broken and you're still alive, so why do you still complain? Think about it, where would you be right now if Lincoln hadn't of done what he had done?
@SargentMugen The South was reduced from the wealthiest Occidental land to a poor and militarily-occupied Third World country thanks to the destruction of the US government. Several of my family members were killed by the Union hordes. My family home was burned down. All the major cities in my State were burned down. We were subjected to military occupation and not allowed to vote or hold office. What the Union did was no better than what Hitler did to Poland.
@SargentMugen So, if I think I need to kill half a million people and burn a dozen or so cities to the ground to "save the United States" that would be okay with you?
@SargentMugen Really? How? He did everything to destroy our constitution, is that saving the United States, or preparing it for a big-government hell hole?
@SargentMugen The US has been destroyed by politicians overtly ignoring the rule of law....a trend that Lincoln started. It takes a lot of courage to admit that everything you were taught was wrong.
@HansBooBee No, it's because the only people, literally the ONLY PEOPLE who think that Lincoln was a tyrant are Southerners who are still bitter over their defeat and attempt to rewrite history. Owner of this video blocked me, so I'm using a different account. I guess it's hard for him for me to tell the truth, so he has to block me in order for him to spread his ignorant propaganda.
It is so funny you call yourself "RedShirtArmy." Do you know what the term red shirt means from the old Star Trek show? A great name for a neo-confederate.
Booth's act was cowardly and despicable, and was widely reviled throughout the South at the time. He did not die as an avenging hero, but as a disgrace!
@dparx100 Booth was a hero. He took up the noble Western tradition of tyranocide. The only problem is he waited too long to save the destruction of the South and hundreds of thousands of people their lives.
@RedShirtArmy Booth's brother Edwin became the greatest actor of that age. John Wilkes was a hack, by comparison. As for the 600,000 thousand or so lives lost in the War of the Rebellion, the responsibility lies with the secesh who, unhappy with the results of the lawful election of 1860, tore asunder the Union.
@dparx100 By that logic a battered wife is the one responsible for the abuse her husband dishes out to her because she didn't surrender to his every wish. If she leaves him (and breaks up their union) she is responsible for the violence he commits. That's your argument - and it's a very bad one.
@MonkeyButt2005 Yes, we lost that war. But every empire eventually crumbles. The US Empire is crumbling right now. It's falling in under its own weight. We are working to ensure that a free and independent South emerges from the rubble.
That sonofabitch Lincoln got what he deserved. The South had a constitutional right to secede whether he liked it or not. The war was about state sovereignty, not slavery. From that point on America gradually became a federation instead of a republic.
@verbod Booth was a well educated and highly cultured man - the most celebrated stage actor of his time. Your comment indicates your ignorance of the subject.
@MonkeyButt2005 Then Lincoln was a very evil man. He took over 350,000 people's lives. What Booth did to him was but a small taste of justice. Lincoln deserved much worse.
@RedShirtArmy u should be angry at your confederate government. northern allowed u to surrender. so your telling me to stop fighting when your still fighting?
@Kp0pFoReVeR The CSA gov't never surrendered. Lee surrendered his army. As for "fighting" anyone, I'm not engaged in a physical war, I'm in a political struggle for liberation & self-determination. It's immoral to occupy others - that is why the Union should let us go. Imperialism is morally wrong.
@RedShirtArmy history has their consequences. you should understand that all those sacriface are made for America to become what is it now today. Number 1 economy in the world. but in the end, it doesnt matter u are from north or south. "United States" is powerful when states are united.
@Kp0pFoReVeR Murdering my ancestors was the "sacrifice" to make the US what it is today? What sort of logic is that? What if the gov't murdered your family & burned your town down and put you & your area under military government? How would like that?
I reject the centralised state as an institution. Hundreds of millions were murdered by the state over the last 100 years. It's the most awful institution in the history of humanity. And the US in particular is violent & destructive state.
@Kp0pFoReVeR Imagine how callous it sounds to tell someone that the murder of their family members and destruction of their homes and country was "the consequences of history" and "sacrifice" required to form a powerful economy and government. Can you not understand why many Southerners hate the regime that killed 1/4 of all Southern males of military age & burned down most of our cities, raped our women and destroyed homes, churches and fields. The Union treated us like Hitler did the Slavs.
@RedShirtArmy i dont think that will happen.and i dont understand why u think Lincoln is "evil". He created Emancipation Proclamation. We gave you opportunity to keep your slaves if you surrender within 100 days. And you didnt. That why we took your slaves from you.
@Kp0pFoReVeR My family, like 96% of all Confederates, had no slaves. And yet my ancestors were killed by Lincoln's invading army. One of my ancestors was an old man, too old to fight. The Union army came through and burned his house down and killed him anyhow. He was a defenseless old man, murdered by Lincoln's hordes. I have only contempt for Lincoln. Perhaps if he had burned down your town and murdered your ancestors you would see things differently. He was an evil man.
@RedShirtArmy thats why im saying accepting defeat is great manner of strength. But south doesnt like to give up and still want to waste lives of their people.
@Kp0pFoReVeR No, we never did formally surrender. And when the US Empire crumbles (as it is now) it is my sincere hope that a free South without the shackles of DC emerges from the rubble. Many of us in Dixie are working towards this goal. We will never accept US occupation.
@RedShirtArmy And also u see southern didnt just want to keep their slaves. they even made their confedarate government. but the pathetic government they made didnt get recognized by Britain or France thats why they didnt help south for the war.
@Kp0pFoReVeR The "pathetic government" you refer to defended itself for 5 years from US aggression. The US had a MUCH larger population and had a great deal of industry as well as war ships and railroads. And still, it took 5 years for the US to conquer the South, which it only did by making war on Southern civilians. The US came out of that war as an Empire, the voluntary Union the Founders created was destroyed by Lincoln's war of aggression.
@RedShirtArmy dude. Lincoln fought for America to keep it united. I pretty much know that what south fought for was slavery. but you see Union fought for keep union together. Big Difference in what you are fighting for.
@Kp0pFoReVeR Lincoln fought against self-determination and the principles that Thomas Jefferson and the Founders stood for in the Declaration of Independence. By your same logic, King George fought to keep the British Empire united. You are taking the side of people who stand against everything the Founders stood for.
@MrIncredibleGuy Lincoln was certainly not a "good man." He ordered the invasion of the South. His men killed hundreds of thousands of our people, raped thousands of women, burned down many of our cities, churches, homes and fields. He was an evil man - a tyrant. And he got what was coming to him. It's only a shame it wasn't done much earlier so that many thousands of people's lives would have been spared.
Southerners are bunch of weakling who couldnt accept their defeat. thats why they used this cheap way to win this war. but u all should know that Lincoln was planning to accept South back to Union without punishing them but.... u killed ur savior. So all northerners have punished u all.
@Kp0pFoReVeR So in your twisted logic accepting defeat is being strong? What sort of strange thinking is that? Lincoln was hardly our saviour - he was our invader and occupier. His armies killed hundreds of thousands of our people, burned many of our cities to the ground, raped thousands of Southern women, etc. The Southern people - like all peoples - have what Thomas Jefferson in the Decl. of Independence called the inalienable right to self determination. Lincoln was an evil man.
The video glorifies the murder of a head of state during a declared time of peace. Also, revenge is never justified. "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord." -Rom. 12:19. If the Colonies had lost the War for Independence, there would still have been no justice in assassinating King George the III. I love my southern heritage, but let's not resort siding with assassins to combat the political correctness or historical revisionism practiced by those who hate the South. God bless.
@MicahCTheory That's a statist attitude. There is nothing sacred about the state (normally it's led by awful people). Killing a tyrant is not an evil action. During the middle ages & even into modern times many leaders in the church have understood tyranocide as a legitimate act. Killing a tyrant like Lincoln who ordered the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people is a legitimate act. It's a shame it wasn't done sooner so that hundreds of thousands of lives could have been spared. Deo Vindice
@RedShirtArmy First of all, Romans Thirteen states clearly that government is a God-ordained institution. It can't be overthrown, unless the federal government requires us to defy scripture. (such as the command for a man to defend his family). Also, I refer to my previous reference in which the Bible CLEARLY condemns acts committed for revenge. So when the Church endorses tyranocide, or anything else that opposes a scriptural command the Church is flat wrong. A statist I am not. Go Ron Paul!
@MicahCTheory I appreciate your support Ron Paul. I support him as well. But I do not interpret the scripture as you do. The Hebrews were warned not to form a state, to keep their stateless society based on judges and traditions but they ignored God's will and formed a monarchy - and suffered because of it. Also, tyranocide need not be an act of revenge. If you could kill Hitler in 1933 or Stalin in the 1930s to prevent the mass murder of millions would it not be just?
@RedShirtArmy The Hebrews weren't warned not to form a government, they were told not to take a KING. (See I II Sam.) Besides, was not revenge one of Booth's stated motives? The war was over after all. Killing Lincoln prevented nothing. Remember Andrew Johnson inherited next. Also, the Bible says, "The heart of the King is in the hand of the Lord he turneth it withersoever he will." Either The Bible is the word of God or it isn't. If it is, we must adhere to it strictly. Otherwise, throw it out.
I don't expect you to believe me, but do you remember Elizabeth Quesenberry? Booth gave her a gift, that history said then- they didn't know what it was. History says now, that maybe it was his boat. I'm Mrs. Quesenberry ancestor and I'm telling you now, that he gave her 2 things and she put them in a clay jar and had them hid. They are the real weapon that killed Lincoln and His missing diary pages. I'm the only person on this planet who knows where they are buried
Lincoln's people launched the Dahlgren Raid in 1964, which was a covert cavalry strike into Richmond in order to assassinate Jeff Davis and other Confederate leaders. That raid made Lincoln fair game for Booth's derringer.
The title of video speaks volumes for why Booth, his slacked-jawed yokel followers, and all "Southron" teabaggers are so monumentally incompetent.
Has anyone else noticed that the people who can't spell rail against anyone not "speaking English"?
Or noticed that the people who question whether President Obama is "really American" know NOTHING about America, it's history, it's Constitution, or the principles this nation was founded on?
Only uneducated, "Southron" imbeciles revere Booth.
@HNK222 Southron is an historic word from Scotland in the Middle Ages. It was passed down by the Scottish settlers of Ulster and ultimately to their descendants who crossed the Atlantic and became the backbone of the Southern people. It is used widely in Southern literature and was the term used by the CSA government to describe the nationality of the Southern people in the 1860s. Jumping to conclusions about us being "slack jawed jokels" when you are ignorant of so much history is ironic.
@HNK222 Booth was monumentally incompetent? Gee, I thought he SUCCEEDED in killing Lincoln? Before that, he was a hugely successful actor. The real incompetence was shown by Grant, Sherman, and your stupid Yankee ancestors, who failed to provide adequate security at Ford's Theatre. After making hundreds of thousands of enemies from their war of aggression, it would have been a good idea to do that. It's very clever of you to deploy that "teabagger" cliche' as well, Mr. Daily Kossucker!
@stevtar1 There was nothing about race in this video. Booth killed an evil tyrant who got over half a million people killed. As for the GOP, I'm happy that people reject that awful party. Like the rest of the US imperial system, it is only deserving of scorn and rejection.
its possible that your arguement might carry more weight if you spelled southern correctly....Lincoln is still the Greatest President in american History- the best thing about this country is that if you don't like it or its history, you are free to leave...
@gingindaddy Southern and Southron are two different words. Southron is from Scots and was carried to the South by the Ulster-Scots, from whom a large percentage of Southerners descend. The word has been used in Southern literature and was used by the Confederate government to describe the nationality of the people of the South during Lincoln's conquest and destruction of the South.
Also, we have long wanted to leave the US Empire. We tried that in 1861 and were invaded by your awful regime.
How can you call a guy a hero He sneaked up behind the President., shot him in the head and ran away. Does not seem like a hero to me. Just a sneaky coward.
@dao3rd123 Tyrannocide is a noble tradition in the Occidental world. Booth did what he did knowing he probably would be caught and executed. But he felt it was worth the risk in order to kill a tyrant. I think he was right. He sacrificed his life to eliminate an awful tyrannical man who had just destroyed the South and caused 600,000 people to be killed, not counting the destroyed Southern towns, farms, churches, the raped women and slaves, etc. Killing such a person is an honourable act.
@RedShirtArmy mate i think it is alwyas good to get both sides of the coin and bear in mind that everyone is equal, if they have wronged you then fair enough but why hate someone just because there skin is black or they dont belive in god it just someones point of view. e.g. i respect your point of view that this guy was a hero i think he was wrong and the whole world thinks that the south of america is full of imbreads and should be bombed thats my point of view (:
The reconstruction that Lincoln planned to undertake was forever destroyed by the acts of Booth and the other conspirators. I firmly believe that had Lincoln lived, the issues that we faced in the 1960's, one hundred years after the start of the war, would have been resolved long, long ago. No doubt Booth thought he was doing the South and the country a favor by murdering Lincoln, but I believed he realized the folly of his act when he said his last words; "Useless, useless!"
@charangoguy Justice is never useless. And what Booth did was as close to justice as could be given to Lincoln. He wasn't going to be tried for his crimes since his regime won the war. But since Booth's fellow conspirators failed or chickened out, the plan wasn't as effective as it could have been. And, of course, it was several years too late to save 600,000 people from being killed in Lincoln's war.
@RedShirtArmy. Ok, I looked up Professor DiLorenzo, and I also found out that he is the a member of the Pro Secessionist League of the South. Find me an unbiased viewpoint and then i'll be interested. Second, if you keep talking about the Federals kill civilians but, what of the 1863 Bushwhacker burning of Lawrence, Kansas killing young boys to old men who weren't even associated with Jayhawker acts. And this is all coming from a Tar Heel Reenactor,
@tarheel1863 DiLorenzo has spoken to the League but is not a member. He spoke to it about 15 years ago. That's his only connection to the League. I talk about Northern agression b/c that was the basis of the war - an aggressive war against the South because Southerners were practicing their unalianable right of self-determination, leaving a failed Union they no longer wanted to be part of.
@RedShirtArmy Ok "aggressive war on the south?". First it was Beauregard (a general who I deeply respect for his work towards Civil rights postbellum) who fired on Sumter first, and also what of the Invasion of West Virginia after it's secession from the confederacy. We occupied it and didn't recognize it. Lee told his Soldiers to be good citizens of the USA and I as a Tar Heel follow his lead. "I surrendered as much to Lincoln's goodness as I Did to Grant's armies" - Robert E Lee
@tarheel1863 We'll have to agree to disagree. While I have tons of respect for Gen. Lee (and was fortunate enough to visit his final resting site and pay my respects) I don't think he could have forseen how awful things would get under Reconstruction and on down to today. As a Southern nationalist my loyalty is to the people of the South, our culture and well-being. I think the US today is a gross perversion of what it once was and the best course for Southerners is independence.
I am amazed that anyone could support the cold-blooded murder of the greatest President in US History, Abraham Lincoln !! You right-wing nuts need to see a psychiatrist. Assassination of elected political leaders and seceeding from the USA are evidence of your sick minds ! May you all burn in hell !
@DannyPVogelsang Obviously your family weren't killed by the "the greatest President in US history." Your state wasn't occupied by the US military. Your family members were raped. Your state government wasn't overturned & outsiders weren't brought in to rule over your family. Your perspective is that of a conquerer, not the conquered. You glorify a blood-thirsty imperialist and centraliser. I do not. Tyrannocide is a noble tradition in the Occidental world - and Lincoln surely deserved his fate.
AL was Satan diguised as a baboon. If he loved his beloved country so much why did he go about systematically destroying it. The Southern States had every legal right to suceed!
@DannyPVogelsang lincoln caused the deaths of 600,000 americans and u have the nerve to call him a great president ignoring the constitution and signing a runaway slave act you need to recheck your historical facts LONG LIVE JOHN WILKES BOOTH DAY!!!!!! DEO VINDICE
@DannyPVogelsang P.S. all slaves brought here came here under the american flag the U.S. CONSTITUTION protected slavery for over 90 yrs so you might want to research before you make yourself look ignorant
To the "Johnny Rebs". You pussies are just a bunch of sore losers. You lost the Civil War. Now get over it. The good guys won the civil war, and your slaves were freed. Abraham Lincoln was a great man. No one else could have won this war for USA.
@DannyPVogelsang lol... You sound the English talking down to the Irish or the Japanese talking down to the Koreans. Be thankful your family was killed and your country was conquered. We're all one glorious empire now. Rejoice in your destruction and conquest. No way, Jose.
@DannyPVogelsang lol the south killed more in the war and look at us now the federal government forces things on it people regardless if they want it or not we are in 3 unconstitutional wars the government is completely corrupt and we are trillions of dollars in debt lol YEAH WAY TO GO NORTH LOL HAHAHA IGNORANT FUCKING YANKEE!!!!!!!
All right, I'm a proud southerner, and descendant of Tar Heels in the civil war but this is where I draw the line. Lincoln was no Tyrant. He didn't even say he was going to take away rights or slaves. Paranoid Southern Planters just flipped and seceded since they were the ones controlling the state governments. Then they forced the Hill Folk, my ancestors to fight a war for them with the conscription act. Lincoln also just wanted an easy peace yet when booth killed him radicals took over.
@tarheel1863 I would suggest a couple books to you: "The Real Lincoln" and "Lincoln Unmasked." Both are by Dr. Thomas DiLorenzo. He explores some of the actions of the Lincoln Administration - actions which might shock you. This was no benevolent statesman. Lincoln was a cold, calculating politician who put human lives after his political agenda.
Booth is a true American hero and made the ultimate sacrifice. History will eventually recognize him for the great American that he was. The blue blooded yankees murdered him. Reseach the mentally deranged union soldier that shot him and then you'll see the yankees for the blue bloods that they are
@goodoldrebel8 Supposedly, he was shot inside the barn after saying he'd rather come out and fight than surrender. But he didnt come out and fight because he was a coward. I guess the soldiers should have done like he did, waited until he went to see a play and come up behind him and shot him in the back of the head.
@goodoldrebel8 You seem to be ignoring my original point. The coward Booth sneaked up behind the president, shot him in the back of the head, adn ran away. What does it matter who shot Booth or under what circumstances? He was a pussy nutjob coward, not a hero.
@bill3979 Considering the drama and the excititement of the times in the midst of soo many enemies I think JWB was very much a brave man. He had the guts to do his duty to prevail thought the rigors of fear and pull the trigger that killed the bastard! Caligula wasn't given deference in the manner of his imperial stat and slaughter either but Rome was better off after he was hacked to death!
@bill3979 Considering the drama and the excititement of the times in the midst of so many enemies I think JWB was very much a brave man. He had the guts to do his duty to prevail thought the rigors of fear and pull the trigger that killed the bastard! Caligula wasn't given deference in the manner of his imperial status and slaughter either but Rome was better off after he was hacked to death!
@the1clooney "drama and excitement"? Booth sneaked up behind a man and shot him in the back of the head then ran away. That doesn't take "guts". Booth was a cowardly loser piece of shit and should have been tortured to death slowly instead of shot. You're a true moron to compare Lincoln to Caligula.
"thought the rigors of fear"? Did you mean "through" you illiterate fool?
@bill3979 either way lincoln got what he was coming to him causing 600,000 american deaths including my ancestors so i hope he is rotting in hell P.S. you should read adolf hitlers "MEIN KEMPF" where he praises lincoln for him ignoring STATES RIGHTS AND THE CONSTIUTION to force his own views america you might want to read it
@Southernjuggalo63 You might want to read it, moron, since the title is "Mein Kampf" not "Mein Kempf". The South fired the first shots then got their asses kicked just as they deserved. Killing Lincoln was the act of a loser coward.
@bill3979 Ft Sumter was a Southern island in SC's harbour. The federal occupiers were expelled and sent home without loss of life. It was Lincoln's invasion of VA that started the war. His invasion of the South ultimately led to 600,000 people being killed to create a centralised empire.
@RedShirtArmy A Southern island? Fort Sumter was a US. military installation that was fired upon by Confederate forces months after several Southern states had seceded. What "invasion of VA" are you talking about? Fighting BACK agains the Confederates who fired the first shots? You need to lay off the Lew Rockwell. What a nutjob.
@bill3979 The Feds built the fort on an island in SC. Once SC was no longer part of the Union the property reverted back to SC ownership. Once the SC troops evicted the Feds (who refused to leave like they should have) there should have been peace between the US and CS. Unfortunately, Lincoln called up a massive army and invaded Virginia. That is when the Upper South States seceded. They would not permit the Feds to march through their State to kill their fellow Southerners.
@bill3979 ok lets see when the south seceeded that meant it was its own sovereign country and fort sumter was in a seperate country and the federal troops was in a seperate country the south general boreguard asked lincoln to pull his troops out 3 times before firing upon it not to mention the only men that died was a union soldier his own cannon during 50 cannon salute to the UNION which general boreguard allowed so learn more about history then come talk to me
@bill3979 also dont forget that the confederacy whipped the north for 3 years even though they were outnumbered 10 to 1 with less supplies and the union went through 12 generals during the first 3 years of the war trying to beat ROBERT E. LEE and STONEWALL JACKSON
just as an FYI, progressiveinamerica is RonPaulHatesBlacks, Navibear, powerplantengineer, ItchMyFoot, Bullshipdetector and literally dozens of other sock puppet accounts this one particular troll has. Its pretty sad and pathetic that he has no life aside from trolling youtube threads.
all those that support Booth are patriots to their TRUE country!!!
every Booth day i take anEXTRA swig of bourbon!!
TK for what u did!!! lincoln would say ,"hail ceaser" "heil hitler" and "to hell w the constitution" lets do it the yankee way, since we have more men and better guns than they do!!
are the people aware that in Egypt right now some small population is demanding change in a violent way? the president of the states called and told, yes, told a sovereign that he would have to leave now. However when similar events happen in the states they repress the people. Texas has a right to leave the union on paper but will never be allowed to do so. america is not free, democracy has turned evil.
@ProgressiveInAmerica Very "progressive" of you to curse so profanely and heap ill wishes upon others. You seem rather typical of the nauseous strand of statists in American history - people who love to insult others and force their ways upon them even when they are not wanted. I'm sure Lincoln, FDR and Karl Marx are smiling down upon you.
Progressive. You stupid BASTARD! If Lincoln, Roosevelt and Marx still exist, they're either at each others throats, or the ol'rail splitter's bitch slapped 'em to sensibility and they're good Republicans. You got any idea how bad off the world would be,if there weren't a strong, "UNITED America to bring it to heel? And I say this as a 10th generation patriot, who would have STUPIDLY worn the Gray and tried to kill the last hope of the world. Thank God I didn't get the chance.
@theshadow1932 How enlightened of you to curse at me and then rant about a single US Empire uber alles. Very sad that being a "patriot" to you means supporting a single, centralised regime rather than the right of self-determination as spelled out in the Declaration of Independence.
@theshadow1932 Sorry buddy but ol'rail splitters to busy getting pounded in the ass by the Satan in Hell to be bitch slapping anybody. But don't worry he was a faggot so i'm sure he's loving every minute of it.
@RedShirtArmy "You seem rather typical of the nauseous strand of statists in American history - people who love to insult others and force their ways upon them even when they are not wanted."
Tell me, did your slaves want to work on those cotton plantations, or were their ways forced upon them?
As one of the greatest Southern heroes it is worth noting that even he had a monument dedicated to him as a matter of fact! In 1906 a Confederate veteran, Joseph Parker, commissioned a monument memoralizing JWB. It was a three-feet tall stone shaft that said: "Erected by Pink Parker in honor of John Wilks Booth for killing Old Abe Lincoln." It only stood for 15 years before people were demanding it to be taken down. They only did it after the man died...
Booth believed God made him a tool to kill President Lincoln. I'm not sure what kind of God you believe in, but our God in heaven would not condone Booth, or anyone else for that matter, shooting a man in the back of the head. Booth was a coward which was apparent by the lack of support he recieved from other southern people.
@yuma1099 Killing a tyrant who practiced total war against civilians, authorised the burning of entire cities and had no regard for the general rules of Civilised Occidental war is not an evil act. Yes, killing is aways tragic. But tyrannocide is an honourable action. Lincoln deserved death just as much as Hitler or Stalin. He was an evil man who got what was coming to him. It's only sad that he wasn't tried and convicted and humiliated before he was executed for the criminal he was.
@MountRushCollymore The name "Red Shirt Army" is a reference to the Red Shirts of Wade Hampton, a Confederate general and popular governor of SC (with both Blacks and Whites actually). Hampton and White South Carolinians were not allowed to vote or hold office under the tyrannical military rule of the Reconstruction regime. Hampton organised men who resisted the Federal rule and challenged the elections - resulting in the Feds withdrawing from the State. He is one of our greatest heroes.
@MountRushCollymore Of course it was tyranny. They only allowed Union soldiers and Blacks to vote. It was a military occupation during which all sorts of abuse and outrages were heaped upon White citizens.
Was he racist? He was of a mindset typical to his time, place & class. He didn't believe in racial equality any more than did Lincoln. But he was a friend of Blacks in many respects and well liked by many Black folks - who participated in his funeral parade. He's called "The Saviour of SC."
@RedShirtArmy Ask yourself this, if you had just conducted a war against the North, and won would you let them all vote? Too big a political risk. You dont let the losers overthrow the winners.
Lincoln doesnt totally convince me either. You have to admit the south does seem very backward in its racial views.
@MountRushCollymore This is a statist mentality. The South fought a defensive war. Had the South won the North would have remained the US and remained independent. The only difference would have been that there would have been two unions rather than one. There would have been no military occupation of the South. Jeff Davis (CSA president) repeatedly said, "All we ask is to be let alone." The South fought for independence, not domination like the North did.
@MountRushCollymore Am I a "racist"? I certainly don't think of myself in this manner. I do recognise that there are distinct differences among the cultures and races. And I am very happy with my own culture and race - which I want to see preserved. That said, I have no wish to harm anyone else or oppress others. I am a libertarian and believe in liberty and natural rights for all people regardless of their race or culture.
@RedShirtArmy Probably the best answer you could have given. I suspect a lot of southerns still feel similar.
I myself cant say im totally not racist because I prefer my own race. In part due to my upbringing in a predominantly white city in England. That said, I dont dislike other races except where they look to change my own culture. And that is down to the individual not the race
@MountRushCollymore Exactly. Most people prefer their own race and culture. This is natural to all human beings. But it doesn't mean we have to oppress or change others. I completely agree with you.
@RedShirtArmy the biggest racists i've known have been blacks... they only listen to black singers, dis-respect white atheletes, i can go on and on... but, it's ok, it's 'open season' on whites... especially white males...
love the video but i dont belive he was killed in that barn in virginia, but rather escaped to india and lived tormented in poverty before returning to the south where he committed suicide. the man that was killed in the barn had orange hair and freckels and had on a confederate uniform. they killed him merely because they needed a body, to prevent the war from sparking up again. You can read all about this in "the Curse of Cain" written by Booth's great great... grandson
RALLY BEHIND THE VIRGINIANS!!!! RISE AGAIN MY CONFEDERATE BRETHREN!!!! RISE UP AND DEFEAT THE TYRANNICAL AMERICAN FEDERAL GOVERMENT!!!! SIC SEMPER TYRANNNIS AND DEO VINDICE!!!
could you imagine if somebody found the missing diary pages and on them was something that proved that John Wilkes Booth didnt die and traveled to texas and the whole thing was a cover up :o :O :o :O
@megaepicexplosion I don't think so. Tyranocide was commonly accepted in high Middle Ages and even in earlier modern times. It's sad that our worship of the state and its power over us today prevents us from seeing the world clearly. Be the tyrant Lincoln, Caesar, Wilson, Stalin, Truman or whoever - by trampling upon people and their natural rights, tyrants fully deserve tyranocide.
@megaepicexplosion Murder is not amoral when the situation demands it. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Lincoln was evil incarnate. He was the Devil.
@megaepicexplosion : I would've loved to have popped that tyrant, old "Honest Abe". Be my pleasure to take him out. That pig Lincoln was responsible for the death of the CSA. Curse him.
@megaepicexplosion There would likely be no black people on the north american continent if Lincoln had not been killed. He was a big deportation activist and most likely would have been an FDR in the sense that he would have kept his power for as long as he could have.
I'm not a fan on Lincoln and his actions but wasn't killing him a bad idea for the South? He was is favor of more lenient policies towards the former confederacy than the other northern politicians.

So Judge Andrew Napolitano, born in Newark, New Jersey is apart of "the ONLY PEOPLE who think Lincoln was a tyrant?" I beg you to do research on this subject. Even look at what people like Andrew Napolitano and Thomas DiLorenzo are saying. Hell, go to Library of Congress and see for yourself what Lincoln has said in his own words.

John Wilkes Booth killed Abraham Lincoln, who was preparing for a peaceful reunion with the south. Because of this, Andrew Johnson took power and punished the south with a hard, oppressive reunion.
Wilkes actions hurt the south more than any other man's.

@SonicobbsessedR2 By "peaceful reunion" do you mean burning Atlanta, Columbia and Charleston to the ground and killing hundreds of thousands of people? Clearly it was Lincoln's actions that hurt the South more than any other man's - not Booth's. Booth's action was a small measure of justice.

SonicobbsessedR2 1 month ago
@SonicobbsessedR2 The South merely evicted Federal troops from an SC island. The Feds were there for the stated purpose of taxing Southerners, who were no longer part of their "union." None of those Yankee troops were killed. They were allowed to leave with their property and flags. Lincoln used it as an excuse to call up a massive army and invade the South. Lincoln started the war. The South just wanted the foreign soldiers out of SC so they couldn't tax Southerners.
RedShirtArmy 1 month ago
@RedShirtArmy Yeah, because trying to kill them isn't just as bad. It was only by luck any soldiers escaped alive, that certainly wasn't the intention. And excused me, how does a fort of 85 soldiers on an isolated island "preserve the taxation of southerners"? They where there because the fort was government property and decided not to withdraw, its not like they had much real military power by staying there.
SonicobbsessedR2 1 month ago
@SonicobbsessedR2 They were allowed to leave, they didn't have to "escape." Once they surrendered they left with military honour. The fort they were in controlled the harbour. It was the Feds' centre for inflicting their hated tariff upon Southerners. Obviously, an independent SC could not have a foreign government stationing soldiers in its primary harbour. None of it would have been necessary had the Union soldiers left. They had plenty of opportunities.

@SargentMugen Lincoln was "insane" in the same way. He wanted to break the South economically & politically & establish centralised rule over all of N. America. The war was only "inevitable" because Lincoln started it & prosecuted it. The South offered to end the fighting many times. All Lincoln had to do to end the war was stop the invasion of the South & order his troops back home. The blood shed & destruction would have ended. But Lincoln didn't want that - he wanted to break the South.

@MicahCTheory That's a statist attitude. There is nothing sacred about the state (normally it's led by awful people). Killing a tyrant is not an evil action. During the middle ages & even into modern times many leaders in the church have understood tyranocide as a legitimate act. Killing a tyrant like Lincoln who ordered the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people is a legitimate act. It's a shame it wasn't done sooner so that hundreds of thousands of lives could have been spared. Deo Vindice
RedShirtArmy 6 months ago
@RedShirtArmy First of all, Romans Thirteen states clearly that government is a God-ordained institution. It can't be overthrown, unless the federal government requires us to defy scripture. (such as the command for a man to defend his family). Also, I refer to my previous reference in which the Bible CLEARLY condemns acts committed for revenge. So when the Church endorses tyranocide, or anything else that opposes a scriptural command the Church is flat wrong. A statist I am not. Go Ron Paul!
MicahCTheory 6 months ago
@MicahCTheory I appreciate your support Ron Paul. I support him as well. But I do not interpret the scripture as you do. The Hebrews were warned not to form a state, to keep their stateless society based on judges and traditions but they ignored God's will and formed a monarchy - and suffered because of it. Also, tyranocide need not be an act of revenge. If you could kill Hitler in 1933 or Stalin in the 1930s to prevent the mass murder of millions would it not be just?
RedShirtArmy 6 months ago
@RedShirtArmy The Hebrews weren't warned not to form a government, they were told not to take a KING. (See I II Sam.) Besides, was not revenge one of Booth's stated motives? The war was over after all. Killing Lincoln prevented nothing. Remember Andrew Johnson inherited next. Also, the Bible says, "The heart of the King is in the hand of the Lord he turneth it withersoever he will." Either The Bible is the word of God or it isn't. If it is, we must adhere to it strictly. Otherwise, throw it out.

@HNK222 Southron is an historic word from Scotland in the Middle Ages.

It is used widely in Southern literature and was the term used by the CSA government to describe the nationality of the Southern people in the 1860s. Jumping to conclusions about us being "slack jawed jokels" when you are ignorant of so much history is ironic.

The reconstruction that Lincoln planned to undertake was forever destroyed by the acts of Booth and the other conspirators. I firmly believe that had Lincoln lived, the issues that we faced in the 1960's, one hundred years after the start of the war, would have been resolved long, long ago. No doubt Booth thought he was doing the South and the country a favor by murdering Lincoln, but I believed he realized the folly of his act when he said his last words; "Useless, useless!"

@charangoguy Justice is never useless. And what Booth did was as close to justice as could be given to Lincoln. He wasn't going to be tried for his crimes since his regime won the war.

And, of course, it was several years too late to save 600,000 people from being killed in Lincoln's war.

All right, I'm a proud southerner, and descendant of Tar Heels in the civil war but this is where I draw the line. Lincoln was no Tyrant. He didn't even say he was going to take away rights or slaves. Paranoid Southern Planters just flipped and seceded since they were the ones controlling the state governments. Then they forced the Hill Folk, my ancestors to fight a war for them with the conscription act. Lincoln also just wanted an easy peace yet when booth killed him radicals took over.

@tarheel1863 I would suggest a couple books to you: "The Real Lincoln" and "Lincoln Unmasked." Both are by Dr. Thomas DiLorenzo. He explores some of the actions of the Lincoln Administration - actions which might shock you. This was no benevolent statesman. Lincoln was a cold, calculating politician who put human lives after his political agenda.

Booth is a true American hero and made the ultimate sacrifice. History will eventually recognize him for the great American that he was. The blue blooded yankees murdered him. Reseach the mentally deranged union soldier that shot him and then you'll see the yankees for the blue bloods that they are

@goodoldrebel8 Supposedly, he was shot inside the barn after saying he'd rather come out and fight than surrender. But he didnt come out and fight because he was a coward. I guess the soldiers should have done like he did, waited until he went to see a play and come up behind him and shot him in the back of the head.

@bill3979 Ft Sumter was a Southern island in SC's harbour. The federal occupiers were expelled and sent home without loss of life. It was Lincoln's invasion of VA that started the war. His invasion of the South ultimately led to 600,000 people being killed to create a centralised empire.
RedShirtArmy 9 months ago
@RedShirtArmy A Southern island? Fort Sumter was a US. military installation that was fired upon by Confederate forces months after several Southern states had seceded. What "invasion of VA" are you talking about? Fighting BACK agains the Confederates who fired the first shots? You need to lay off the Lew Rockwell. What a nutjob.
bill3979 9 months ago
@bill3979 The Feds built the fort on an island in SC. Once SC was no longer part of the Union the property reverted back to SC ownership. Once the SC troops evicted the Feds (who refused to leave like they should have) there should have been peace between the US and CS. Unfortunately, Lincoln called up a massive army and invaded Virginia. That is when the Upper South States seceded. They would not permit the Feds to march through their State to kill their fellow Southerners.
RedShirtArmy 9 months ago
@bill3979 ok lets see when the south seceeded that meant it was its own sovereign country and fort sumter was in a seperate country and the federal troops was in a seperate country the south general boreguard asked lincoln to pull his troops out 3 times before firing upon it not to mention the only men that died was a union soldier his own cannon during 50 cannon salute to the UNION which general boreguard allowed so learn more about history then come talk to me

As one of the greatest Southern heroes it is worth noting that even he had a monument dedicated to him as a matter of fact! In 1906 a Confederate veteran, Joseph Parker, commissioned a monument memoralizing JWB. It was a three-feet tall stone shaft that said: "Erected by Pink Parker in honor of John Wilks Booth for killing Old Abe Lincoln." It only stood for 15 years before people were demanding it to be taken down. They only did it after the man died...

Booth believed God made him a tool to kill President Lincoln. I'm not sure what kind of God you believe in, but our God in heaven would not condone Booth, or anyone else for that matter, shooting a man in the back of the head. Booth was a coward which was apparent by the lack of support he recieved from other southern people.

@yuma1099 Killing a tyrant who practiced total war against civilians, authorised the burning of entire cities and had no regard for the general rules of Civilised Occidental war is not an evil act. Yes, killing is aways tragic. But tyrannocide is an honourable action. Lincoln deserved death just as much as Hitler or Stalin. He was an evil man who got what was coming to him. It's only sad that he wasn't tried and convicted and humiliated before he was executed for the criminal he was.

MountRushCollymore 1 year ago
@MountRushCollymore The name "Red Shirt Army" is a reference to the Red Shirts of Wade Hampton, a Confederate general and popular governor of SC (with both Blacks and Whites actually). Hampton and White South Carolinians were not allowed to vote or hold office under the tyrannical military rule of the Reconstruction regime. Hampton organised men who resisted the Federal rule and challenged the elections - resulting in the Feds withdrawing from the State. He is one of our greatest heroes.

@RedShirtArmy Thanks for the lesson.
was he racist? are you? If he was then I could never see him as a hero. Not sure the North were tyrannical to be totally honest either.
MountRushCollymore 1 year ago
@MountRushCollymore Of course it was tyranny. They only allowed Union soldiers and Blacks to vote. It was a military occupation during which all sorts of abuse and outrages were heaped upon White citizens.
Was he racist? He was of a mindset typical to his time, place & class. He didn't believe in racial equality any more than did Lincoln. But he was a friend of Blacks in many respects and well liked by many Black folks - who participated in his funeral parade. He's called "The Saviour of SC."
RedShirtArmy 1 year ago
@RedShirtArmy Ask yourself this, if you had just conducted a war against the North, and won would you let them all vote? Too big a political risk. You dont let the losers overthrow the winners.
Lincoln doesnt totally convince me either. You have to admit the south does seem very backward in its racial views.
MountRushCollymore 1 year ago
@MountRushCollymore This is a statist mentality. The South fought a defensive war. Had the South won the North would have remained the US and remained independent. The only difference would have been that there would have been two unions rather than one. There would have been no military occupation of the South. Jeff Davis (CSA president) repeatedly said, "All we ask is to be let alone." The South fought for independence, not domination like the North did.

@MountRushCollymore Am I a "racist"? I certainly don't think of myself in this manner. I do recognise that there are distinct differences among the cultures and races. And I am very happy with my own culture and race - which I want to see preserved. That said, I have no wish to harm anyone else or oppress others. I am a libertarian and believe in liberty and natural rights for all people regardless of their race or culture.

@RedShirtArmy Probably the best answer you could have given. I suspect a lot of southerns still feel similar.
I myself cant say im totally not racist because I prefer my own race. In part due to my upbringing in a predominantly white city in England. That said, I dont dislike other races except where they look to change my own culture. And that is down to the individual not the race
