@heavymetal217 Factually incorrect. The USA outlawed the slave trade before 1810. ANY US ship engaging in the trade was operating outside the laws of the USA. Fact...the last known illegal slaving ship to dock in a US port, was The Clotilde...owned by a wealthy Southern ship yard owner.
EVERY Northern state abolished slavery before 1810. INDEPENDENT of the Federal Union, which, at the time, was controlled by Southerners
One of the first western nations to end slaver...Vermont Republic 1777
"Northerners are the fount of most troubles in the new Union. Connecticut and Massachusetts exhaust our strength and substance and its inhabitants are marked by such a perversity of character they have divided themselves from the rest of America - Thomas Jefferson
SECESSION. We DO NOT need Washington D.C. End of story, end of discussion, it is so obvious. In fact, is it not wonderfully interesting that now since no time since the war of FEDERAL AGGRESSION, has secession been spoken of. It is the RIGHT of a people to throw off a despotic, out of control government. A damned RIGHT. Slavery be damned we are all slaves now. Damn Yanks still fighting over a dead institution the 13th AMENDMENT settled, not THEIR war!
And who is going to free the white man, Taxation is still slavery, especially when everything you buy is taxed and they keep raising them every day. Raise the taxes so you cant pay and they take your house and all you own. If they would quite sending our money to the rest of the world and let then handle their own issues we would not have a deficit. Flat tax no refund i say, 10% is good enough for God its good enough for the man.
@jdell151 so, how do you propose to pay for our infrastructure and defense if there are no taxes? Private armies? Toll Roads? So much for our Constitutional guarantee to move freely between the states. That's Article IV, to you. What next? A passport/visa for each of the states we enter?
I am not saying we do not pay taxes, maybe you are a bill gates and can afford this. I beleive in a flat tax. 10% accross the board of your income and property. No sales tax, Gas tax, alcohol tax, bed tax, tobacco tax. Zip!
@Mutakaliim Alabama was never the capital of the CSA. You stupid ignorant son of a bitch. And your full auto .45 aint gonna do shit when i catch ya from 150 yards with a 30-30
@Mctaggart6412 Actually, the first capitol of the Confederacy was at Montgomery, AL. The delegates from the cotton states held the first convention there on February 4, 1861, ratified the Constitution of the Confederate States of America, and formed the prodivisional legislature of the CSA. President Jefferson Davis was inaugerated on the front portico on February 18, 1861 . In May of 1861 the capitol was moved to Richmond, VA as a condition for Virginia's secession from the Union.
@TheBoberton well first off i was comparin it to a .45. Second off you gotta be able to see me to shoot me. I've had people walk right by me in the woods and never knew i was there
a very stupid and racist song.. so far away from the TRUTH and just a yankee rendition .. taught by them.. to keep a STRONG hatred.. my family was not white.. yet we fought for the same flag.. i can not believe they would have sacrificed for something this sad and childish.. no this is no more than yankee taught propaganda. as lincoln said.. what we teach in the schools today.. is the politics of tommorow.. .. you live in it.
I don't understan How people keep talking Trash instead of reading books and learn. "The Civil War was About the Rights of the South of being independent from a Government of Clawns!!! If it was about Slavery Why Many African Americans Faught Against the Yankees to Protect their HOMES againts the Northern Invader. IF YOU Dont believe what I'm Saying Look for your self Search the 86th Regiment of Louissiana.
the irony is Slavery still exists and Africa still Sells their own people! they want to blame us for stealing them when the truth is,the African Gov got rich selling them!
Loved the music and the video. History is history and the good and bad need to come out for all sides concerned. The way things are going, we may be back to a fight over states rights again! Its time EVERYONE in this country became RESPONSIBLE for taking care of themselves! I don't mind my tax dollars going to help those who truly need it, but to help those who live off of the system is not what this country was founded on. God Bless the USA and Dixie!
It was about both States Rights and slavery. They go hand in hand and its fact that the federal government has continually took more and more power since the Civil War. The states dont even have any rights anymore. Learn about the Articles of Confederation and then look at how the states yield power to the federal government only with their consent. Slavery was consitutional perhaps not right but it was constitutional.
@historian56 Slavery was consitutional until the passage of 13th Amendment. Republican party originated as the Anti-Nebraska party not to end slavery in the South, but to limit it from the territories. That was what the South found so offensive, that the Republicans advocated that the US government ban slavery from territories, as had been done by the US under Articles of Confederation in the Northwest Ordinance.
12Fly stop cussing you dont have a clue what your talking about. When Southern States were concerned about Northern slave laws like the escaped slave law they were consitutionaly correct. It has to do with the full faith and credit clause of the Constitution.
States rights -- what a fucking joke. The South hated states rights y ou fucking idiot, when it got in the way of slavery.
They hated the North States writing their own state laws on escaped slaves or the children of same. They violently hated new states deciding against slavery dumb fuck.
So the states rights shit, you dumb fuck, was all about slavery you fucking idiot -- because they hated states rights when it meant less slave pussy and power.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Bin Laden -- what a dumb fuck you are -- not your fault, you eat twisted history so you shit stupidity.
The South was hardly taxed at all dumb fuck -- the tax was on IMPORTS idiot. But those taxes were paid by ENGLAND and resulted in higher prices for manufactured goods. The North benefited more ( and paid more) cause their manufacturing was helped.
The South could manufacture too dumb fuck and get the same protection dumb fuck, but they like to get money from slave pussy and profit.
Ps. slavery was endured from 1776-1860 under the american flag,,,,not the confederate....Many seem to have forgotten that. It seems the yankees and the entire world laid the guilt of their own slaven driven past upon the shoulders of dixie.
That's right. And the world has also forgotten that it was America who struck off the chains of slavery and led the civilized world in ending the abominable practice.
Yeah,,,Too bad when they finished burning our cities to the ground they turned their mighty noble armies to the west to slaughter the Native Americans.
Wouldnt want yankee soldiers sitting around with nothing to do,would we ?
civilized world ? uh? It was 4 million wasnt it. Yeah im sure it was.
Because we didnt lead them anywhere. We were among the last ones to abolish it. Britain Abolished slavery in 1834 I think, along with france. Denmark in 1835 etc.
@SisterUDC Actually, the British abolished slavery well before America. And they abolished it in America in 1776 but then another regime sprang up to preserve slavery!
@rmjackaman, You are wrong. In 1805 the House of Commons passed a bill that made it unlawful for any British subject to capture and transport slaves, but the measure was blocked by the House of Lords. Abolition of the Slave Trade bill was passed in the House of Lords by 41 votes to 20. In the House of Commons it was carried by 114 to 15 and it become law on 25th March, 1807. It was not until 1833 that Parliament passed the Slavery Abolition Act.
@christof139 US banned participation in the trans-atlantic slave trade in 1820. Still participated in slave trade internal to US, within and between states till 1865. Jean LaFitte and Jim Bowie made their fortunes smuggling slaves, and one reason for the Texas revolt was Mexican anti-slavery policies.
@DonMeaker, Texans, including Mexican Texans, were also tired of Santa Anna's dictorial rule, & Texas finally revolted as other states in Mexico previoulsy had against Santa Anna & the Mexican govnt. In fact, Santa Anna's army marched rapidly from putting down one revolt to the Alamo in Texas & the Texan revolt.
Brazil had savery until 1868, etc., & African slaves were also imported into southern Russia & Pushkin is a desecendant of one of those slaves.
@christof139 I agree that Texas independence had many reasons. I think one flag used by Texans cited the 1824 constitution that they thought was more ideal. Santa Anna was overly affected by Bonapartism, which his military skills did not deserve, and the people of Mexico and Texas did not want. US later paid 10 million $ for the Gasden purchase which Santa Anna put in his personal accounts.
@DonMeaker, Yaeh, Sanat Anna had a big head. Santa Anna absconded with maybe $2-million that the USA gave to Mexico during the war in order to make a peace, & Santa Anna fled to Cuba & gambled etc. with the money. I don't believe he stole any of the Gadsen Purchase money or the $15-million that the USA gave to Mexico after the war as reparations.
@rmjackaman, British captains who were caught continuing the trade were fined £100 for every slave found on board. However, this law did not stop the British slave trade. If slave-ships were in danger of being captured by the British navy, captains often reduced the fines they had to pay by ordering the slaves to be thrown into the sea.
@rmjackaman Tell us again about the reasons for Rhodes establishing South African Apartheid? That was done with the full approval of the UK Government. And ask India how broad-minded the British were about involuntary service.
In fact, factory workers and miners in many parts of the USA were effectively slaves up into the 1900s. I don't mean slavery was right. I just mean the folks complaining about it were often guilty of exactly the same thing: abusing others for their own financial gain.
@SisterUDC Dont think that you won the war. As a southern man i do not believe in slavery or racism. I will gladly fight along side with any man, rebel or yankee, who would help me fight those things. BUT the south WILL rise again, cause rebels dont die, we go to hell to regroup.
An Act for the Abolition of Slavery throughout the British Colonies; for promoting the Industry of the manumitted Slaves; and for compensating the Persons hitherto entitled to the Services of such Slaves. Royal Assent, 28 August 1833
Im sorry but that is absolutely 100% incorrect. The British Empire abolished slavery in 1831. We were the last country in the "civilized" world to end the practice.
@SisterUDC Actually, most of the "civilized world" abolished slavery before the US. The US was actually practically the next to last country in the Americas to get rid of it. I think Brazil was the only country that held on to it longer.
@jdell151 What do you mean? I have read my history books. The "civilized world" ussually refers to Europe, and the countries of Europe (and actually most of Latin America) had abolished slavery before the U.S.
@SisterUDC Actually, Europeans ended their slavery practices long before America did. France for example abolished it shortly after their revolution in the 1790s. Napoleon, however, said "screw it, i want slaves," and brought it back.
@Yet over 2 dozen other western countries managed to do away with it over the course of 75 years without a bloodbath. By the way, that same US government which claims it fought the war to free the slaves (a cause they didn't discover until 2 years into the war) turned right around and massacred the plains Indians immediately afterwards. Was that "all about slavery" too?
@SisterUDC hat to till you that America was one of the last country's to end slavery. after France, the British empire. i do believe that America was the last of the Western world to end slavery, or at lest one of the last. so take a steep back and get it right.
@SisterUDC uh incorrect ENGLAND AND FRANCE abolished slavery before the AMERICAN CIVIL WAR historicly speaking actually england and france influenced us to abolish slavery
Rah dumb fuck -- the Confederates were the slave rapers, the child molesters, the ones who sold infants to get rich, who burned to death slaves who rebelled.
The Confederates also surrendered on their own ground. Slaves would fight for their rights to the death - you fucking pussies ran on your own ground.
What the fuck are you proud of? Enslaving others? Surrendering on your own ground? Running like cowards?
The honorable peole of the South hated the fucking Confederate scum.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
And all you Confederate supporters keep forgetting the souths part in the tragedy. They may have been under the US flag at the time but the northern states had banned slavery earlier...and it should have been banned everywhere, but some people were too lazy (or was it cheap?) to go pick their own crops.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ra dumb fuck -- this isnt about guilt dumb fuck its about what happened.
No - the North did not approve slavery --it was kept out of the Constitution. Some people had it in the North --scum people -- who had to get rid of it.
But the South was infected with slavery like a brain tumor just before it kills the person. The Confederacy is STILL the only nation on earth to be FOUNDED on slavery dumb fuck -- and it's leaders bragged about that fact.
@rahowr, Slavery was abolished in all northern states except Deleware well before the civil war. However, there were racist laws on the books in norhtern states like Illinois.
@christof139 Delaware and Maryland were slave states before and during the Civil War. New Jersey still had a small number of slaves in 1860, 18 is the number I have seen quoted.
@DonMeaker, Yes, I know, & Maryland was a border state & Deleware was the only northern state where slavery was legal, however, not many people owned slaves in Deleware & it was looked down upon. Other states had discriminatory laws in the north though, but not legalized slavery.
@rahowr, Slavery is the main reason for our civil wra & many people were against it. Freed blacks, Indians, etc. also owned slaves. Slavery existed all over the world: ended in Britain ~1830, existed in Russia when black Africans were imported to southern Russia in early 1800s & Pushkin the great poet's father was a slave in Russia until freed by the czar, existed in Brazil until 1868, etc. etc. etc. 12 out of 13 states were in favor of abolishing it after the Am. Rev. but it dod not occur.
@rahowr Robert E. Lee owned no slaves. They always associate slavery with Dixie, when in reality, the Civil War was over States' Rights and just a little over slavery. I agree totally.
asmodeon i can tell ur no aristrocrat by what right does a federal govt tell a state govt what it can do with its land? the beauty of anglo saxon common law is that it respects LOCAL law fuck wershinton try an win another war i dont think the feds have the balls they have the technology but no stones will they slaughter their own citizens and how will that look to the rest of the world which still looks to us for freedom for the INDIVIDUAL bring it on some things are worth dying for
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
LCVS -- dumb fuck - the confederates were pussies. They whipped women and children, they gathered in huge parties to burn individul slave men who rebelled.
The South surrendered on their own ground -- then cried about it for 150 years. You pussies are still crying about it -- you lost your slaves, you lost the war, most of your soldiers deserted the CSA.
no that would be the reign of the KKK which sadly at 1914 even President Wilson supported them...
go read a book and educate yourself before making idiotic comments...
besides the fact that a few ppl in the South actually had slaves... and it was because of the Feds ignoring state rights and Taxing the hell out of the South is why it rebelled...
I am an Irish american, and everything I said is backed up by facts- the first hand accounts and the words of the states themselves!
Read the southern states succession documents.
Start your reading with The Battle Cry of Freedom, probably the best general overview of the civil war. If cannot see that the South not only caused the war, but instigated it, then you have no notion of fair play and honor.
Oh ya, Stop generalizing people based upon their race. Thanks.
why are we all arguing over the past. african-americans are so racist against white americans because they are reliving history. it just leads to trouble. grow up and stand for the same country that we are. i am a northern conservative. so quit generallizing too
And southern's had attack soveriegn nations to expand slavery, including nicaragua and cuba, and had been a driving force in forcing a war with mexico. A southerner had beaten a senator from the north with his cane on the senate floor.
The south took federal property by force-property belonging to ALL of the soveriegn states. AND the south fired the first hostle shot.
The south was the aggressor, and reacted like a spoiled child when honest Abe was elected.
Capt51stALA, first of all if you are serious in your views about slavery you sir are a disgrace to the human race.
Secondly, mankind controls his own destiny-no bronze age boogyman has a hand in ANY world event. That being so, isnt the golden rule in the Christian bible "do on to others as you would have done upon you"? Do you, sir wish to be another man's slave?
Lastly, the South had been aggressively pursuing the extension and expansion of slavery for the previous twenty years......
Well sir, slavery is outlawed now but I merely express the fellings of that time sorry for not making that clear. The bible also said that Jesus pushed the money changers out of the temple but not the slave holders. Again please read A Consuming Fire. A good book that presents the way slavery was looked at at the time.
My apologies then for the personal attack, as I had a strong suspicion there was some error in translation.
And yes, I understand how things were presented, both north and south. Does not mean it was right though. The Catholic archbishop in NY also came out in support of slavery, many others did.
But a vocal minority did not, and was able to elect a man committed to the containment of slavery, if not the destruction itself. Obviously the country could not handle that.
Being pro confederate, now in this day and age, and saying that you are not pro slavery is like saying that you are a nazi except for the racial hatred. It doesn't fit.
Perhaps if you were born in 1838, and were only joining to do what you thought was right in defending your home, perhaps you would have a reason.
There are no "confederates" in the 21st century, it is a 19th century idea-an idea in which a core value included slavery.
"The South went to war on account of Slavery. South Carolina went to war-as she said in her Secession Proclamation-because slavery would not be secure under Lincoln. South Carolina ought to know what was the cause for her seceding "
got no problem with slavery. The south lost because Southerners failed to live up to the standard of "Abrahamic" slavery which is laid out in the bible. Therefore God chastised his children for not obeying His laws. You should read: A Consuming Fire. Its a great book.
well sir you are incorrect, for if this was true then there would have been little need for the 14th Amendment which made everyone a U.S. citizen and not just a citizen of the State which was part of the Union.
i dont agree with the lyrics. they're all about saving slavery. i am a confederate and i donot agree with slavery! slavery had almost nothing to do with the civil war. only 6% of the south owned slaves.
the war of norther agression was not fought because of slavery contrary to belief that was the cover-up the north for invading the souths right to be free
"Perhaps no class of our fellow citizens has carried this prejudice against color to a point more extreme and dangerous than have our Catholic Irish fellow citizens, and yet no people on the face of the earth have been more relentlessly persecuted and oppressed on ac-count of race and religion, than the Irish people."
the first wave of seccesion was caused because you lost power in senate and because lincoln got elected, in the executive branch. the north invaded because you secceded. why did you do it? fear of abolished slavery. we are an INDEPENDENT nation.
bullshit, you don't know your own countries history. You can't legally attack a people for secession the fed doesn't legally have that power so by the 9th and 10th amendments it's illegal. Black and white issue. Invading and butchering southerners is wrong. aggressively attacking and killing people is wrong, murdering innocent civilians who may have nothing to do with the war is wrong. You can't "save" a union through violence, only by negotiation and diplomacy.
no we aint, we are nation of "what ever the government wants" , the North went against its own constitution by envading the South. The North is nothing but a Hypocricy
Freedom as we know it has suddenly, in a vote of the house, disappeared from our country. Every single senator and representative who voted in favor of this bill should be taken to court, tried for treason, and hung. It is proof-positive that our congress, and our president are mere puppets of the Federal Reserve, and that it is the bankers, not the people, who control government.
I don't think we should say the pledge. I think we should suck on the flag instead. It would have more impact. Don't you think? Matter of fact, my flag is just ooozing with spit. And I feel much better ya know? After a good flag suck session... I just get all weepy and wanna mow my neighbors lawn and take out the trash for free. Why, when I've had a really good flag suck, I even help out my other neighbor. She's hot too. You see, her husband is inna wheelchair... so.. well.. ya know?

My apologies, Robconfederatepride. I got a bit carried away - sorry. Man, this North / Southron thing sure is a contentious issue, isn't it, even to this day. We Aussies suffered our first major military defeat at Gallipoli, at the hands of the Turks - 1st World War. We were led by British buffoon fools of generals, not our own fine officers. But we celebrate and remember that glorious defeat, as a nation-building milestone heritage. Today however we are friends all - Aussies, Turks, Pommies !!
fuck u suejoe and colindominy i come from illinois wit confederate ancestors so where you live dosent always mean u dont know the truth about the south
Goodness, suejoe97, who's been getting in your ear. You don't know your history all that well. Unless you come from somewhere like Illinois or Maine, or somewhere like that - in which case, I'm afraid there's no hope for you anyhow.
This song comes from a fabulous album. It features the Ozark Mountain DareDevils (leader : Steve Cash) + others in this multi-venture project, focussing on the Civil War. Dates from the late 1970's, I think. The OMD's were a great band, all through the early & mid 1970's. Any other comments on the DareDevils out there ? I've got just about their entire album collection. Among their best songs - "Time Warp" + "You Made It Right" + "Beauty in the River" + many others. What do others think ?
"...A geographical line has been drawn across the Union, and all the States north of that line have united in the election of a man to...President...whose opinions and purposes are hostile to slavery. He is to be entrusted with the administration...because he has declared that that "Government cannot endure permanently half slave, half free," and that the public mind must rest in the belief that slavery is in the course of ultimate extinction."
"It has announced that the South shall be excluded from the common territory, that the judicial tribunals shall be made sectional, and that a war must be waged against slavery until it shall cease...
The guaranties of the Constitution will then no longer exist; the equal rights of the States will be lost. The slaveholding States will no longer have the power of self-government, or self-protection, and the Federal Government will have become their enemy.
"Sectional interest and animosity will deepen the irritation, and all hope of remedy is rendered vain, by the fact that public opinion at the North has invested a great political error with the sanction of more erroneous religious belief.
We,...South Carolina, by our delegates in Convention assembled,...have solemnly declared that the Union heretofore existing between this State and the other States of North America, is dissolved,"
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for wich it stands one nation under god indivisible with liberty and justice for all .
This is the oath of allegiance that all Confedrate soldiers had to swear to before they were paroled back to there homes after the war that was lost.
Very few soldiers came from plantations. They were very poor. The North also had slaves but their views for not letting the Southron states seceed is that they want the money from slavery via taxes. Of course they all wanted to wear cotton too. There were many free blacks who owned black slaves, recall the times, these were times when African tribes were at war with eachother and sold eachother as slaves. We cannot look at the past through the hour-glass of today.
did you get that from a book cause i remember reading a statement like that... do u read books by the author Clive Cussler? and GLORY TO THE CSA!!!!!!!!
Isn't there someone in real-life you can annoy? Perhaps a lion tamer or someone with a shotgun?
Hey! Why don't you go talk smack to a Klansman face to face? You two hate each other and the world would be better off without either of you. Everybody wins!
I was born June 12, 1835, Westmoreland County, Va. I was raised in the house of General Robert E. Lee, my master. I was cook for Marse Robert during the civil war and his body servant. I was raised by one of the greatest men in the world. There was never one born of a woman greater than Gen. Robert E. Lee, according to my judgment. All of his servants were set free ten years before the war, but all remained on the plantation until after the surrender.
There are few, I believe, in this enlightened age, who will not acknowledge that slavery as an institution is a moral and political evil . . . I think it is a greater evil to the white than to the colored race . . . The blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa, morally, physically, and socially . . . Their emancipation will sooner result from the mild and melting influences of Christianity than from the storm and tempest of fiery controversy.

It was about both States Rights and slavery. They go hand in hand and its fact that the federal government has continually took more and more power since the Civil War. The states dont even have any rights anymore. Learn about the Articles of Confederation and then look at how the states yield power to the federal government only with their consent. Slavery was consitutional perhaps not right but it was constitutional.
historian56 2 years ago 7
@historian56 Slavery was consitutional until the passage of 13th Amendment. Republican party originated as the Anti-Nebraska party not to end slavery in the South, but to limit it from the territories. That was what the South found so offensive, that the Republicans advocated that the US government ban slavery from territories, as had been done by the US under Articles of Confederation in the Northwest Ordinance.

They hated the North States writing their own state laws on escaped slaves or the children of same. They violently hated new states deciding against slavery dumb fuck.

@rmjackaman, You are wrong. In 1805 the House of Commons passed a bill that made it unlawful for any British subject to capture and transport slaves, but the measure was blocked by the House of Lords. Abolition of the Slave Trade bill was passed in the House of Lords by 41 votes to 20. In the House of Commons it was carried by 114 to 15 and it become law on 25th March, 1807. It was not until 1833 that Parliament passed the Slavery Abolition Act.

@christof139 US banned participation in the trans-atlantic slave trade in 1820. Still participated in slave trade internal to US, within and between states till 1865. Jean LaFitte and Jim Bowie made their fortunes smuggling slaves, and one reason for the Texas revolt was Mexican anti-slavery policies.
DonMeaker 1 year ago
@DonMeaker, Texans, including Mexican Texans, were also tired of Santa Anna's dictorial rule, & Texas finally revolted as other states in Mexico previoulsy had against Santa Anna & the Mexican govnt. In fact, Santa Anna's army marched rapidly from putting down one revolt to the Alamo in Texas & the Texan revolt.
Brazil had savery until 1868, etc., & African slaves were also imported into southern Russia & Pushkin is a desecendant of one of those slaves.
christof139 1 year ago
@christof139 I agree that Texas independence had many reasons. I think one flag used by Texans cited the 1824 constitution that they thought was more ideal. Santa Anna was overly affected by Bonapartism, which his military skills did not deserve, and the people of Mexico and Texas did not want. US later paid 10 million $ for the Gasden purchase which Santa Anna put in his personal accounts.
DonMeaker 1 year ago
@DonMeaker, Yaeh, Sanat Anna had a big head. Santa Anna absconded with maybe $2-million that the USA gave to Mexico during the war in order to make a peace, & Santa Anna fled to Cuba & gambled etc. with the money. I don't believe he stole any of the Gadsen Purchase money or the $15-million that the USA gave to Mexico after the war as reparations.
christof139 1 year ago
@rmjackaman, British captains who were caught continuing the trade were fined £100 for every slave found on board. However, this law did not stop the British slave trade. If slave-ships were in danger of being captured by the British navy, captains often reduced the fines they had to pay by ordering the slaves to be thrown into the sea.
christof139 1 year ago
@rmjackaman Tell us again about the reasons for Rhodes establishing South African Apartheid? That was done with the full approval of the UK Government. And ask India how broad-minded the British were about involuntary service.
In fact, factory workers and miners in many parts of the USA were effectively slaves up into the 1900s. I don't mean slavery was right. I just mean the folks complaining about it were often guilty of exactly the same thing: abusing others for their own financial gain.

My apologies then for the personal attack, as I had a strong suspicion there was some error in translation.
And yes, I understand how things were presented, both north and south. Does not mean it was right though. The Catholic archbishop in NY also came out in support of slavery, many others did.
But a vocal minority did not, and was able to elect a man committed to the containment of slavery, if not the destruction itself. Obviously the country could not handle that.

Being pro confederate, now in this day and age, and saying that you are not pro slavery is like saying that you are a nazi except for the racial hatred. It doesn't fit.
Perhaps if you were born in 1838, and were only joining to do what you thought was right in defending your home, perhaps you would have a reason.

Very few soldiers came from plantations. They were very poor. The North also had slaves but their views for not letting the Southron states seceed is that they want the money from slavery via taxes. Of course they all wanted to wear cotton too.

Isn't there someone in real-life you can annoy? Perhaps a lion tamer or someone with a shotgun?
Hey! Why don't you go talk smack to a Klansman face to face? You two hate each other and the world would be better off without either of you. Everybody wins!

the slaves had no representation at all. if you are an honest man tell your views on slavery, and if all men are created equall, you have the floor

I was born June 12, 1835, Westmoreland County, Va. I was raised in the house of General Robert E. Lee, my master. I was cook for Marse Robert during the civil war and his body servant. I was raised by one of the greatest men in the world. There was never one born of a woman greater than Gen. Robert E. Lee, according to my judgment. All of his servants were set free ten years before the war, but all remained on the plantation until after the surrender.

There are few, I believe, in this enlightened age, who will not acknowledge that slavery as an institution is a moral and political evil . . . I think it is a greater evil to the white than to the colored race . . . The blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa, morally, physically, and socially . . . Their emancipation will sooner result from the mild and melting influences of Christianity than from the storm and tempest of fiery controversy.
