  • The civil was over slavery states rights is a cover up word end of story

  • The American Civil War was about slavery. Also the US lost in Vietnam and we should have never invaded Iraq because Bush WAS lying about WMDs. Duh.Time we all move on folks.

  • @pitchit89 Then what was the reason for the civil war.

  • States Rights? They why did the CSA's Constitution protect the institution on a federal level. Meaning if Georgia wants to opt out of slavery, Flordiaians can still come into Georgia and buy, sell & practice in slavery. And why were gag orders placed on anyone or anything remotely anti-slavery? Yes, Uncle Tom's Cabin was banned. Wow, so much for freedom of speech or states rights. And did the CSA constitution protect secession? NO! In fact, Georgia planned to secede from the CSA near the end.

  • 19 neo-rebs think the Civil-War was about state's Rights. Even though it was the state's rights to own slaves!!!

  • The Civil War was about state's rights. The right of the state to permit the barbaric practice of keeping other people as property.

  • Wow if you think that the Civil War was about "States Rights" and not about the evils of slavery then you need remedial classes my friend. I am British and know this. And yes WHITE people like myself hated slavery and would do anything to end it. In Britain we were very proud of the abolition of slavery it was a good thing and it is a shame that Americans are not so.

  • @housepate1 the brits loved southern cotton though haha

  • @buddygz04 Actually they did

  • Do people honestly think in 1861 that thousands and thousands of white men were willing to die for the black people? Laughing out fucking loud. If that was the case, why did it take over a 100 years after the Civil War to end racial segregation?

  • Confederate Vice-President Alexander Stephens, Savannah, March 21, 1861:

    "(Jefferson's) ideas, however, were fundamentally wrong. They rested upon the assumption of the equality of races. This was an error.... Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery– subordination to the superior race– is his natural and normal condition."

  • The confederates can suck my dick.

  • Wow, suth'n education is like soviet russian propaganda. "thousands of black confederates?" This has been debunked numerous times.

    google "myth black confederate soldiers" and click the first link.

  • Rebel LIES. If it was about "states rights," why did the south force its ways on the north via the federal government by pushing for the fugitive slave act? Secession was about the preservation and expansion of slavery. Your "way of life" was all about people owning other people and making them do all the work.

    Sad you guys are so desperate to feel better about losing, you even have to change history. If you love your rebel ancestors so much, don't try to change their cause.

  • The common citizenry did not fight the war for slaves. However, the people in politics did. I think there was a Conerstone speech held at Arkansas or Mississippi that stated that slaves were a big deal of the war to come.

  • Lincoln didnt like not having to money, and the only was to get it was to INVADE our country and take it at gunpoint. we fought for our homeland just as this country would today at an invasion. only 5% of southerners had slaves. what was the other 95 % fighting for

  • to ALL you yankee fucks sayin this shit was about salvery- the war was fought for nothing other than the rights of our country. it started when lincoln raises taxes in the south from 20% to over 60 % and nearly bankrupted the whole region. we refused to pay the shit, seceded so we wouldnt have to deal with your shit anymore, which was completely constitutional.

  • the south used blacks to fight a war.... so that somehow means they arent racist? we used osama to fight the russians.

    trust me it was about slavery

  • @AntiVenomFangX if it was "about" slavery, why didn't the Southern states return their delegations to washington when the Congress passed and Lincoln endorsed the Corwin Amendment which would have barred the federal government from banning slavery.....FOREVER?

  • @hungarygator

    the south wasnt a government. thats like saying "why didnt afghanistand bar women form gettting an education"

    using your logic..... Afghanistan is a free country ruled by its own people.... oh wait. they dont associate jesus with everything nice and good(must make them not free, because thomas jefferson and jesus and good and peace, and good, and goerge washingtons and freedome and good and peace, LIBERTY LIBERTY!!).,... thats the difference you and muslims you biased nutcase

  • @AntiVenomFangX ummm I have no idea what you're talking about.....btw I'm not a christian so you might want to rethink your little screed for next time. Oh, and South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana were sovereign states which had governments.

  • @hungarygator

    you must of missed my "thomas jefferson and jesus and good and peace, and good, and goerge washingtons and freedome and good and peace, LIBERTY LIBERTY!!" point. read it over a few times. you will find yourself buried among its fringes.

  • @AntiVenomFangX Cocaine is a hell of a drug huh?

  • @hungarygator

    its ok. you will understand some day.

  • @AntiVenomFangX Not likely. I don't use mind altering drugs

  • @hungarygator

    aww this is just making me feel sad for you now. can you just submit your last comment, and we will be on our way?

  • @AntiVenomFangX Let's see. We were talking about the causes of secession and the war and you babbled on about Jesus, Afghanistan and oh yeah LIBERTY LIBERTY!

  • @hungarygator

    was i really speaking about jesus? or afghanistan? or LIBERTY LIBERTY? or was i making a point that you still FAIL to get.

  • @hungarygator

    it wasn't incoherent..this is a personal problem of yours that you didnt get the point...not mine.

    let me put it this way, using YOUR logic afghanistan is the center of freedom and liberty. look at how small government allows people to have freedoms like throwing acid on a womans face for trying to go to school. a great man, a founding father once said "anyone who gives up liberty for security deserves neither"

    Afghans lack of police is a perfect example of liberty>police

  • @AntiVenomFangX Limited government is not the same thing as anarchy. YOUR inability to understand that is YOUR problem.

  • @hungarygator

    anarchy is a form of government. you are mistaking anarchy with chaos, further proving how little YOU understand, but im sure this wont shatter your confidence... you see now you call me an elitist or something and poof, your insecure feelins go away with you new found delusion.

    afghanistan is a small government, there is no such thing as low chaos and small law, government, olicing, whatever you wanna call it.

    stop being an idiot.

  • @AntiVenomFangX actually anarchy is a lack of government, not a form of government. Look it up in a dictionary. YOU obviously are ignorant of the definition. Stop being a moronic troll and for god's sake stop taking drugs. You are completely incoherent.

  • @hungarygator

    anarchy is a rule of no society. it is only possible when this rule is ENFORCED, GOVERNED, LAW, ETC

    you really need to get up on your synonyms, because its so difficult to use words with you.

    1. either way your geting beside the point. the less government you have the more you move towards anarchy... i want to know if you agree or disagree.

    because Afghanistan does have a government. a small government. where there are more freedoms.

  • @AntiVenomFangX anarchy, noun, "a state of society without government or law. "

    You really need to learn the definition of words before you try to post lest you continue to make a fool of yourself.

    The less government you have the more you move toward freedom-especially if you have a powerful overbearing government like we have. Afghanistan has a state of anarchy outside of a few places.

  • @hungarygator

    i'm going to blow your mind. theres more than one definition to a word.... its not your fault that you are not a genius.

    i can make a scientific theory sound like just a hypothesis using your same bullshit tactics... good job

  • @AntiVenomFangX I'm going to blow your mind. That is the definition the vast majority think of when they think of that word. Its not your fault you are uneducated.

    You can make up anything and I'm sure it will make sense....to you alone. Good job.

  • @hungarygator

    using your logic a evolution isnt a fact. god job with logic.

  • @AntiVenomFangX This is what's called a straw man argument. Feel free to look it up.

  • @hungarygator

    no the argument is still the same. i simply used a common augment that involves mistaking definitions that are not intended for the given context. it was the onyl subject i could think of at the time. let me use something else instead of the sensative topic of evolution:

    using your logic someone can be electrocuted and still live. or drown and still live.

  • @AntiVenomFangX your babbling is really boring.

  • @hungarygator

    haha, of course it is.

  • @AntiVenomFangX back to the point, the Southern State seceded because it was in their economic interest to do so because they were getting fucked by the feds on tariffs and because the Northern states were voting themselves a disproportionate share of federal money and they had had enough of it.

  • @hungarygator

    yea... im sure thats it. states with free labor were feeling the pinch?

  • @AntiVenomFangX the northeast was the manufacturing center....they stood to profit from this since their foreign competition would be crippled and they could jack up their prices. Hello?

  • @hungarygator

    the south didnt want to act as a uniform country with the north, they were too busy clamoring about bullshit. now they need the northern states to pay for their lack of tax income.

    the south is garbage. and on a state level is a welfare loving parasite.

  • @AntiVenomFangX LOL! I find that funny considering it was the South which subsidized the North overwhelmingly up until the war and even after with the passage of the Morrill tariff which remained in place until 1910. So if the North is paying more today....boo freaking hoo. Let that continue for another century or so and we'll call it even.

  • @hungarygator

    yea we all know they did. and guess what? egypt used to be on top of the world... your point?

    you are telling me because my great great great great grandads state took subsidies from your state we owe you some?

    using your logic we owe black people reparations for slavery!!! hahaha i love applying your logic to other conditions, its amazing how much you can teach a person about themself

    even though im 100% positive your still just as confident as ever

  • @AntiVenomFangX Look at it this way, if y'all had just let the South go free when it wanted to you wouldn't be in this predicament now....but you didn't and you are and its your own fault. LOLOL!!!!!

  • @hungarygator

    what predicament? we have the largest economy in the world... we are the center of the world economy.

    please tell me what predicament.

  • @AntiVenomFangX you were whining about paying for a lack of tax income....ie about several Southern states being net tax recipients. Well, too bad. You're stuck with that situation and there's nothing you can do about it. HA HA HA HA! Just pay up.

  • @hungarygator

    well i will be glad to pay up, you see im a patriot and helping out my neighbors(even if they are freeloaders) is a nice thing.

    maybe someday the south will have enough general intelligence to pay for their own bills, until then we will help out those degenerates.

  • @AntiVenomFangX Take a little gander at comparative economic growth rates over the last two generations. The South's economy is growing faster than the national average.

  • @hungarygator

    sounds about right, they were hit the hardest. this is how a correction works. the same can be said about the third world.... so im missing the point.

  • @AntiVenomFangX If you little rant about "general intelligence" were true the regions economy would not have been outperforming the national average for such a sustained period.

  • @hungarygator

    no, the general intelligence of peoples and outperforming the already developed world is pretty consistent worldwide.... i would say it further proves my point.

  • @hungarygator

    yes, you need to go back and read a few more times and find out just what is and isnt mutually exclusive. because inadequate amts of money to pay for their own way, and growth rate being fast are not mutually exclusive.... why are words such a chore with you?

    the underdeveloped world has been outpacing the developed world for years now, this doesnt mean they possess any more or less intelligence. do you understand now?

    P.S. who keeps spamming your comments?

  • @AntiVenomFangX Its funny you mention "not enough money to pay their own way" when the vast majority of it is mandated federal spending for things like social programs.....this about a region of the country which has never liked big government or a highly centralized state with bloated unaffordable social programs. Those things were imposed on them. Its more than a little disingenuous to blame them for the outcome now.

  • @hungarygator

    which brings me back to maybe you should move to afghanistan. this is the first world. we do this shit... give me a single first world country where there are little to no social programs.

    do you know what standard of living is? how does a country raise its standard of living?

  • @AntiVenomFangX Look at Asia. Look at their economic growth rates. They generally have nothing like the social welfare states we have in the West. How does a country raise its standard of living? by growing its GDP...in relative terms faster than others. How to achieve this? Limit the size of government, limit its interference in the market and keep taxes low....which is what the South wanted. Limited government, and low taxes.

  • @hungarygator

    the amount of money that business grosses is what makes things like school, police, military, healthcare, homeland security, regulations that block criminal acts, medicare, medicaid, social security, unemployment benefits, etc, etc get funding?

    to some extent what you are saying is correct, but not as much as you re portraying.

  • @AntiVenomFangX Those things are a small portion of the budget today. Social programs are a huge part of it and interest payments are getting to be an ever larger part. Then there are all the subsidies to special interest groups....

  • @hungarygator

    THOSE ARE SOCIAL PROGRAMS!!!! THEY ARE IN NO WAY SMALL. MEDICARE AND MEDICAID ALONG WITH THE MILITARY ARE AT LEAST.... LEAST IN THE TOP 5 MOST EXPENSIVE. MEDICARE PACKAGE D ALONE IS ONE THE THE BIGGEST EVER.

    THE SMALL THINGS ARE CORPORATE BONUSES, AND THINGS LIKE PRIVATE JETS.

  • @AntiVenomFangX OK....that's what I said. Social program are by far the largest single part of the budget.

  • @hungarygator

    and when they are budgeted there is no problem. the program is paid for. your beef isnt with the program. your beef is with the mismanagement of the program.

  • @AntiVenomFangX my beef is with the leviathan in Washington which has usurped power it was never intended to have trampling on the constitution in the process and which has established a welfare-warfare state which we cannot pay for in the long run.

  • @hungarygator

    in your opinion when did such events really start occurring?

  • @AntiVenomFangX when Lincoln ignored the constitution in a myriad of ways to wage his war of aggression. It was made even worse by the Radical Republicans in Congress which forced through the 14th Amendment (even though it never passed by any reasonable interpretation of the constitution) thus creating a highly centralized state and abolishing the ultimate check on the centralization of power the Founders had created-state's rights and the ultimate check on centralized despotism-secession.

  • @hungarygator

    and how do you suppose we fix it?

  • @AntiVenomFangX doubt its possible to get back to the constitution the Founders left us but a good start would be to reduce the size and scope of the federal government. Cut spending....Balanced budget amendment & line item veto...less red tape. Quit subsidizing the defense of countries which can pay for their own defense & bring the boys home. Give the states more leeway to experiment with different laws/reforms. Things that work can be copied by others. Things that don't get discarded.

  • @hungarygator

    i think i see whats going on here. you are one of those who belong to the religion of Americas founding fathers. do you often quote the founding fathers?

  • @AntiVenomFangX "the religion of the Founding Fathers? Constitutionalism? Limit government? Individual liberty? Separation of powers? The Bill of Rights? Government derives its legitimacy from the Consent of the Governed?  If that be "religion" then I'm guilty as charged and a true believer. I think you'll find the overwhelming majority of Americans are.

  • @hungarygator

    and the overwhelming majority of americans believe in ghosts, monsters, vampires, witches, devils, demons, 2012 doomsday prophecy, and many many more.

    are you trying to say americans are stupid?

  • @AntiVenomFangX I see not evidence that the overwhelming majority of Americans believe in those things.

  • @hungarygator

    which ones? because yes ghosts, and yes monsters, and yes witches, and yes demons. this is all explained to you in your bible? do you not read it? wow you must really believe in that stuff i can tell by your willingness to keep yourself in the dark abotu its manifesto.

    nice man nice

  • @AntiVenomFangX I'm Agnostic.  Try again.

  • I read the secession declaration written and signed by the Southern leaders THEMSELVES and they ALL without exception were whining about the North wanting to abolish slavery.

    The abolition of slavery meant massive revenue loss for the Southern states as their economy depended on it. I read somewhere that they (South) weren't as industrialized as the North, so they needed black manual labor, I could be wrong.

    So the US civil war? Definitively about slavery.

  • Ending slavery was a goal for the south before any casualties occurred. I don't know why they would feel the need to sacrifice over half a million of our "brothers" over an issue like slavery. After reading letters from both sides, it's evident they all fought for peace and a free government. They fought for our forefather's legacy in vain. I don't feel like I live in a peaceful country. Let's have a war for peace? that's how ass backwards your government can make you.

  • So Davis lied to you fucks? Davis went on a speaking tour of the South -- and LIED to people? Amazing. Cause Davis was telling people that 2/3 of your soldiers had deserted. Did he lie?

    Was he lying when he said if just HALF of them came back, the South could not lose?

  • Im not defending slavery, and I am not going to say that those things didnt happen, but it was a far different time than we have now. Then, slavery was seen as just part of the system. No different in their minds than owning a horse. So the fight for states rights then was viewed as a fight for property, and a way of life(unfortunately for the white people). Instead of cursing at me, you could try to cool it and instead debate. It demeans your point of view. CW was in fact for states right

  • jac wrong dumb fuck -- it wasnt seen by most people as owning a horse retard.

    Even Slave OWNERS said slavery was wrong dumb fuck. Lincoln said slave owners should be KICKED TO DEATH.

    No one said pet owners should be KICKED TO DEATH. So no dumb fuck, it wasnt same thing.

    And the SOuth hated states rights -- dumb fuck. They went to war to STOP states from exercising their right to kick slavery in the fucking ass.

  • @IowaSea, I doubt any slave owners said that owning slaves were wrong. It was free labor, which allowed them to live a somewhat "rich" lifestyle of the day. Again you are looking at this all through the viewpoint of today. BTW, you prove your point as invalid with you lowering yourself to cursing at me.

    South didnt "hate states rights". Kansas wasnt a state, it was a territory. What the south was worried about was the northern states pushing their own political agenda against the south.

  • @jacobew2000 Actually many slave owners said it. Lee said it -- then justified the cruelty of slavery as from God. God intended slavery to be cruel and painful.  Slavery wasn't OUR fault - said many Southern leaders -- it was God was punishing negroes for biblical shit --- go see the Cornerstone speech by VP Stephens.

    The basic reality of Southern history: The Slavers ran the South and their main hard on was to spread slavery, by cheating and threats, or violence if needed.

  • @jacob -- of course slave owners said slavery was evil --Lee said it. Then he justified at from God, that God intended it to be cruel and painful, that man was wrong even to try to stop slavery -- God alone could stop it, perhaps in 2000 years.

    REad George Mason's speech about slavery. Really -- go look this shit up. He was a BIG slave owner, and he told what owning slaves did to the master. Read it -- he is totally correct, he predicts scum like Lee and Davis, 70 years ahead of time.

  • The South detested states rights --- Kansas or otherwise.  Read South Carolina's official declaration of why she seceded. Go on - read it. SouthCarolina spends a HUGE amount of energy bitching about North states even allowing anti slave discussions!! How dare they!! How dare some people in the North call slavery a SIN -- and how DARE they have their own laws about run away slaves!

  • The South actually detested states rights you dumb fucks. Southern slave owners sent thousands of thugs out to Kansas to terrorize and murder anyone who dared to vote AGAINST slavery.

    If the South cared about states rights dumb fuck, they would not  have made war in Missouri, Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, --anyplace that even MIGHT decide against slavery. The ironic truth of the South was, they HATED states rights to stop slavery, just drove them fucking nuts.

  • @FilmCriticOne, your confusing states rights vs "civil rights" that are viewed as a right today. There was no such thing as "civil rights" then, and everything was viewed as a fight for a way of life that the south "enjoyed". We all view slavery now as wrong, but then it wasnt. You are looking at the 19th century through a modern viewpoint that simply wasnt seen then. The argument to end slavery was a Northern viewpoint at the time, and the South didnt want other states intruding. Simple!

  • @jacobew2000 no dumb ass -- states rights. The South hated those too retard. They actually went to war to STOP states and territories from having rights.

    GOt that retard? The South sent thugs to Kansas,, Missouri, Texas, NM, anyplace, to kill, threaten, and destroy any states right to decide for themselves.

    The South you dumb fuck HATED free speech in OTHER states, HATED other states from having their own laws, and especially HATED other states deciding for themselves about slavery

  • @hopelesslyderanged wrongn dumb fuck -- the Confederacy was all about aboslute power for government. The South from 1820 on had a Nazi like totalitarian government -- did you know that dumb fuck? No free speech, no free press. Government even controlled what religions could preach. DId you know that?

    Fuck no, you didnt know that. learn the real history of 1820-1860 and the Nazi like Fucks controlling the South.

  • @FilmCriticOne, All i hear in your comments is a comparison of the south to "nazism". That is far from the truth. There was free speach, and free press, but the society of those days didnt see anything wrong with slavery. You are looking at the south through a viewpoint now that simply wasnt seen through the eyes of the common man in the south. The issue of slavery was in the minds of the founding fathers in the 1780's, so it wasnt anything new. They were trying to create a union vs britain

  • @jacobew2000 are you retarded dumb fuck - each Southern state outlawed free speech retard. From 1820 on there was no freedom of speech in the South -- the Southern states OUTLAWED it. Got that dumb fuck.

    That's right retard. Before 1820, there were 130 anti slavery newspapers in the South. After 1820, all words, written or spoke, against slavery were made illegal, punishable by whipping, jail and death.

    Learn history dumb fuck

  • @jacobew2000 So from 1820 on, there was no free speech in the South, the mails were searched, ships were searched, people were searched for any book or pamplet that MIGHT be against slavery. People were arrested, whipped, jailed, for owning the wrong BOOK or pamphlet.

    YOu didn't know that? Gee -- I fucking wonder why retard? Did they forget to tell you that dumb ass?

  • The South started the war from 1820 on - by endless violence and shitting on the US Constitution. Every president before LIncoln should have kicked Slave Power ass --- and restored sanity and the constitution.

    Slavers took over from 1820 on, and stopped free speech and free press. They used violence, torture, threats, and intimidation. They made war on people in Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Louisana, to force by violence what they could not get done legally.

  • @FilmCriticOne, I dont know what history books your reading, but its not in anything I have ever read.  Until President Lincoln pressed the issue, the federal govt was considered by almost everyone as being a servent to the states, not the other way around. It was finally solidified in 1868 by a supreme court decision that said that it was illegal for Texas to succeed from the the union. Be4 that SC decision, even with the war won, many still thought eventually they might be able to suceed ltr

  • @jacobew2000 yes, nothing like you ever read is right.

    You don't read the shit written then BY the South. The South hated states rights you dumb fuck -- its total bullshit they were for states rights. Lincoln was for states rights, free speech, free press. THe South had shit on all this for 40 years.

    The South had been at war AGAINST states rights --in Kansas, Missouri, TExas,Louisana. Learn real history.

  • @FilmCriticOne, sorry but you are completely wrong! When Texas joined the union they had it in their agreement that they could leave when they wanted. Kansas wasnt a state when the civil war started, it was a territory. Parts of missouri wanted slavery and didnt want to be controlled by the feds. Lousiana is was a heavy slavery state. The south didnt want to give up their lifestyle, which the North was trying to force through law. Read the Cornwin Amendment that was never ratified.

  • @jacob dumb fuck -- the South had been at war in Kansas for years -- the South send thousands of thugs (Nazi like fucks) out to Kansas to stop people in Kansas from voting on slavery.

    Learn what the South pussies did in Kansas -- go on pussy, learn some real history

  • great video

  • also check with darmouth college cause there's tampered photos that go back as early as 1860's

  • all this shit is irrelevant, because in 1933 when we went broke the first time, the gov sold us to the bankers, your ss is registered on the stock exchange, you're a commodity, so if you're blood runs red, you're american, then you're a debt slave, skin color doesn't matter

  • You can remove yourself from this starting with UCC filing.

    PS You know who funded both sides of the war.

  • i know wow go to lew rockwell and read the new one "inalienable right to sucede"

  • hahahahaa.... so you are telling me that the southern states wanted to secede from the union, because they didn't like certain tariffs and taxes? It was merely conicidental that all the southern states were slave states? I just want to be educated. So the republican party had a platform of anti-slavery just so they could push through their agenda of insuring that southern states could be slaves of the federal government????

  • Sorry Bobjones27, but you dont know history. Until the passage of the 13th amendment, the slaves in the south were considered "property". Even the Union army didnt know what to do with this "siezed property". It wasnt until 1863, over 2 years after war began that Lincoln suddenly decided that he should do something about this "property". His own writings leading up to his emancipation proclamation states that. It was at first a taxation issue of the more populous north vs the smaller south.

  • yes, but does that mean that the southern states wanted to secede from the union just to insure state's rights?

  • @bobjones27 : Actually that is correct. People at this time frame (1850's-1860's) still considered it a union of states, and not a federal union that most mistakenly think that the US is today. In many ways, Lincoln was correct on trying to get rid of slave.  But the states were also correct to be able to leave the union. However, the south did it wrong in attacking before finalizing their independence. We are today still a group of states.

  • hey don't get me wrong. i empathize with people who want to retain their sovereignty. it's just that I wonder if the issue of state's right would have risen at all if a: Northern economy was also plantation slavery based. or b: there was no slavery at all in the US.

  • @bobjones27 they were the american flag (northeners) protected slavery and flew american flag on slave ships for 70yrs what the hell is wrong with poeple they choose certain parts of history without looking at all the facts lol i need to buy a lot of history books and go over history again with you lol

  • Southern dumb fuck - wrong - the USA was founded on All men created equal, freedom of speech, consent of governed. The scum slavers were busy raping children and selling infants. The scum slavers took over the South -- from 1820 on, and tried to spread their insane shit slaver by illegal means.

    Lincoln kicked your ass and you pussies have been crying for 150 yeaars.

  • Jab wrong dumb fuck - the states rights shit was an excuse. The South actually hated states rights dumb fuck -- they used violence to stop states like Kansas from voting slavery OUT. Did you know that dumb fuck?

    The SOuth actually DETESTED states rights. Learn real history, not your bullshit.

  • @bobjones27, it was the democrats in the old south that wanted slavery. The republicans couldnt get a vote in the south in the 1830's-1880's, even under the barrel of a gun vs the population. Lincoln wanted a strong federal govt to "save the union", and slavery became an issue latter in the war. It was a power fight at the highest lvls of govt. Yes it was over the rights of commerce. Founding fathers warnd of a strong fed govt that would eventually become corrupting of itself. Thats now!

  • @jacobew2000 nonsense dumb fuck -- the South were to totalitarian fuck heads, they had total government control of what people could read, write, think, say.

    Got that dumb fuck -- the SOUTH also hated states rights -- and started wars in Kansas to prevent Kansas from voting on slavery.

    Learn the ruth dumb fuck.,

  • Which side had blacks fighting on it. how come the north had black soldiers fighting for them. think about it. obviously one side stood MORE against slavery than the other. stupid hillbilly racist rednecks. lol.

  • No, what is stupid is that everyone believes the Civil War was fought over slavery. It wasn't, the Emancipation Proclamation was not even given until 1.5-2 years AFTER the south had already seceded from the Union, OVER STATES RIGHTS. I ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOUR HISTORY BOOKS SAY, THAT IS WHY THIS VIDEO IS HERE, THE BOOKS LIE.

    Yes of course, slavery was horrifically bad, for slaves who had evil masters. Not all masters were evil, besides, you TAKE CARE of your business and equipment if smart

  • @Horseo dumb ass -- LIncoln didnt start out to end slavery dumb fuck - he started out to put down the violence and illegal acts of a bunch of child raping, baby selling fucks who had promised a war if their candidate lost the election.

    Got that dumb fuck -- your pussies promised a war if your guy lost the election. Well -- how'd that work out? You got your ass kicked, you lost slavery, and even your God of slavery was kicked out.

  • @HorseofPaulRevere The books do lie. They show the South as honorable and brave. The south was a bunch of pussies -- their leaders were pussies, over 3/4 of their soldiers deserted. They fought for Nazi like nation of slavery torture and terror.

    They were real brave beating up women and children -- but in the end, Southern pussies ran on their OWN ground. Gave up their nation, gave up their God, and gave up their slaves.

  • Actually, probably 3/4 of their soldiers DIED in battle, they mostly didnt desert as you assert. I dont even know how to respond to your falsehoods. Everything you said about beating up women and children, being pussies, giving up their nation, their god, giving up their slaves, were not true. They had no choice but to surrender. The north simply out manned and out equiped the south. I dont like the south's slave issue, but they were correct on states rights. Your trying 2 rewrite history

  • Jacob -- desertions were -- BY FAR - the biggest problem the south had. Nothing comes close.

    Davis himself said in September of 64 that 2/3 of the soldiers had already deserted -- and went on a speaking tour to shame and scare them back. It didnt work.  He said bluntly that if JUST HALF the deserters came back, the South could not lose. See his Macon speech - one of many things the South had hid for 150 years.

  • Comment removed

  • @jacobe apparently you are fucking cluess of the CENTRAL "belief" or excuse of the South. It was given 1,000 times, 10,000 times, in one form or another.

    The central "idea" (excuse) was that God was punishing the Negro for some biblical shit. Go read Cornerstone speech. I will send you part, but go read it all, Really amazing to read now, but standard stuff then.

    Did you know that? Everyone from Lee, to Davis, to Stephens, to Toombs said it, or some variation.

  • educate yourself son

  • @nedsneebly ahh you forget about the american flag protecting slavery and was flown on many slave ships for 70yrs dumbass learn your countries history dipshit then open your mouth what a idiot lol

  • @Southernjuggalo63 the south said slavery was from GOD retard. Lee said it, Davis said it, every dumb fuck in the South leadership said it. Got that retard?

    SO now slavery is bad? Dumb fuck -- your Confederacy was BASED on it.

    Make up your mind retard -- was Lee, Davis, and the rest of the crazy fucks wrong or lying about God wanting them to enslave?

  • @FilmCriticOne LOL BUT ALL HISTORIANS SAY THAT THE GREATEST GENERALS IN HISTORY WAS LEE AND JACKSON FOR THE SIMPLE FACT OF BEING OUTNUMBERED 3 TO 1 IN ARMIES AND KILLED MORE YANKEES(350,000) COMPARED TO 250,000 CONFEDERATES KILLED HISTORICAL FACT KID READ A HISTORY BOOK

  • @nedsneebly dumb fuck -- the South said it was about slavery -- the North said it was to put down the violent rebellion by South scum, who were mad their guy didn't win the election. Got that dumb fuck?

    Just like ww2 didnt start to end Hitler's Jew Death Camps, the Civil War didnt start to end slavery (from the North's view). But during kicking your fucking ass, the nation decided to get rid of slavery dumb fuck, and passed the 13th Amendment.

    See how that works, retard?

  • Stephens went on to say

    (Jefferson's) ideas, however, were fundamentally wrong. They rested upon the assumption of the equality of races. This was an error. ... Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery — subordination to the superior race — is his natural and normal condition."

    This is what the Confederacy was fighting to preserve.

  • Do you really feel that Mr. Lincoln thought that the "negro" was in anyway equal to the White man? Hogwash..LOL!!

  • Exactly, The Union(Northern States) needed a good excuse and a way to get people behind their crusade.

  • @HorseofPaulRevere

    What are you talking about? South Carolina militia started the war by firing on US troops stationed in a US fort on US land sold to them by the State of South Carolina.. You're an idiot

  • @AreRepublicansInbred I said nothing of the first shots, I said an excuse to get people behind them. Not an idiot

  • @AreRepublicansInbred lol fort sumpter was in a seceded state did you forget your history the south gave them time to leave and they didnt dude read a history book and pick up a map dumbass

  • South -- Lincoln gave you time to run like pussies, 2/3 of your soldiers deserted by Sept of 64, your own leaders, Lee and Davis ran like cowards. Now you have had 150 years to cry your eyes out. Time to move on dumb ass.

  • @FilmCriticOne lol but 350,000 union dead only 250,000 confederates dumbass we had worse guns,clothes, and supplies so read a history book jackass LOL LINCOLN WENT THROUGH 11 GENERALS TRYING TO FIND GENERALS TO BEAT LEE AND JACKSON LOL AND WAS OUT NUMBERED 3 TO 1 ON ARMIES AND STILL LASTED 4 YEARS OF FIGHTING SO IF ANY SIDE WAS SHITTY IT WAS THE UNION AND LINCOLN

  • Jugg --dumb fuck - the South hid behind massive earth works - all built by slaves. Did you know that? Your capital and major cities were all hidden by these earth works, which the North had to kick down to get to you pussies.

    YOu were on your own ground -- and most of your own soldiers deserted - ON YOUR OWN GROUND. Your two leaders ran like pussies. There was no honor in the south.

  • @FilmCriticOne LOL THE SOUTH STILL KILLED MORE BY USING BRAIN TO FIGHT LIKE GUERILLA STYLE INSTEAD OF NAPOLOEN WAY LIKE ALL THE CADETS DID FROM VIRGINIA MILITARY CADET SCHOOL P.S. LEE WAS A COLONEL IN THE UNION ARMY AND WAS OFFERED BRIGADIARE GENERAL BUT TURNED IT DOWN TO FIGHT WHERE HIS COUNTRY WENT(VIRGINIA) AND SO DID JACKSON AND BY THE WAY THE SOUTH ALLOWED BLACKS TO FIGHT IN WAR TOO AND 500,000 FREE BLACK MEN IN THE SOUTH BEFORE THE WAR PICK UP A HISTORY BOOK KID YOUVE BEEN INDOCTRINATED!

  • @Southernjuggalo63 Sorry -did you know that Lee and Davis spent most of their time behind massive earth works in Richmond? Lee had over a million slaves, under threat of torture and death, built your defenses. Have you ever seen a earth works?

    You were on your OWN ground -- yet most of your soldiers deserted -- and millions of Southern men refused to join the Confederacy.

    You have been pure shit for 150 years. You have run from the truth like your soldiers ran from Sherman

  • @Southernjuggalo63 When you fucks tried to attack the North, you got your ass kicked. In fact, Lee killed of his true believers in his idiot attack on the North. Defense was much safter given the weapons at the time dumb fuck.

    The South allowed blacks to fight? DUmb fuck -- you forced a milion blacks to be slaves for your military --- but no blacks volunteers were part of CSA -- another idiot myth you fucks have slid up your ass.

  • @FilmCriticOne and still killed more people lol u cant change historical fact dude no matter how upset it makes u the confederacy killed more people thats a well known fact will less me less supplies and less everything lol no matter what u say the civil war was not fought over slavery and we killed more people and for you to say no blacks were free in the south is retarded seeing how britain and france had abolished slavery and blacks moved here as free men jackass historical fact

  • jugg dumb ass -- Davis, Stephens and the various states ALL said the Civil War was about slave issues dumb fuck. That's what they ALL said -- till the pussies started to lose.

    Then, like true pussies, they changed their excuse. They made up nonsense. Too bad for you lunatics they actually wrote this shit down

  • @FilmCriticOne funny but jeff davis adopted a black boy thats parents was killed my union soldier and by the way LEE SAID IN NUMEROUS OCCASIONS HE WAS AGAINST SLAVERY EVEN BEFORE THE WAR UNLIKE LINCOLN

  • @Southernjuggalo63 wrong fuck -- Davis never adopted anyone. Davis was probably his biological father - but Davis and his wife both abused him. They never looked for him after the war -- he escaped.

    Lee was not against slavery dumb fuck -- he said slavery was FROM GOD -- and was whipping girls and selling infants up to the Civil War

  • @NavyBeer lol your historic facts are all fucked up man but answer me this why was slaves in south freed in 1862 and the union didnt free theirs until 1865 3yrs after the south hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

  • Southern dumb fuck -- Lee was still getting rich on slavery after 1862.

    Davis in 1863 said slavery would be FOREVER permanent, and that ALL blacks in the North or South who had been freed before, were hereby placed back on slave status -- forever.

    Davis also said in 1863 that the South would win the war -- in the NORTH too -- and make slaves of all blacks in the NOrth. And that the Union would be restored -- as a slave nation.

    SO no dumb fuck, you didnt end slavery in 62 retard

  • @NavyBeer well i sent you your owns side speeches of racism and slavery facts and you still rant about the south owning slaves when southern slaves were free in 1863 and union didnt free theirs until 1865 after half the union army desserted in their own words "we are not gonna fight for blacks" lol historical fact

  • @Southernjuggalo63 You will send me edited quotes dumb fuck.

    Edited quotes. REad the full speeches by lincoln you pussy -- not the edited quotes.

    You fucks run from Lincoln's full speeches like your soldiers ran from Sherman. Really a bunch of pussies.

  • @FilmCriticOne WELL EVEN WHEN I SEND YOU ACTUAL STATEMENTS MADE BY THE MAN YOU LOVE SO MUCH PROVING IN HIS OWN WORDS HIS OWN RACISM YOU STILL DEFEND THAT HE WAS AGAINST LOL YOU CANT BE HELPED MAN YOUVE BEEN INDOCTRINATED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT P.S. MY CONFEDERATE FLAG DIDNT FLY OVER HUNDREDS OF SLAVES SHIPS UNLIKE THE AMERICAN FLAG FACT!

  • South sorry dumb fuck -- America was based on "all men created equal" consent of governed, free speech, free press, ect.

    All of which the south shit on, dumb fuck, from 1820 on

  • @IowaSea sorry american flag protected slavery and slave trade from 1776 till 1865 lol historical fact dipshit

  • @IowaSea The South shit on Consent of the governed? Seems to me it was Lincoln who did that. Oh, and you realize there was slavery in Missouri and Kentucky and Maryland and Deleware and Washington DC. You also realize that West Virginia was admitted as a slave state right? Did you also know there were still some slaves in New Jersey and New York? They were old having been born before the cutoff date but slaves nonetheless. Did you realize the NE states were still engaged in slave trading?

  • @IowaSea by the way american flag protected slavery and flew over hunderds of slaves ships no the CONFEDERATE FLAG YOU MORON LEARN HISTORICAL FACTS BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR DICK SUCKER BOY!!!!!!!!
