Slavery? What did that have to do with the Union invasion of the confederate states? The United States had slaves for 2 yrs after this war. The issue was the federal government taking over the states and the people. Before this the people controled the state government and the states controled the federal government.
@TejasBobGOM The intent of the Union wasn't necessarily to abolish slavery altogether, but to prevent its expansion into new states. Those were the "states' rights" in question. Of course, the Union did abolish slavery in the states in rebellion and the Abolitionist sentiment was strong enough for Congress to abolish it in the border states fairly quickly after the war was ove. To the extent that anybody can claim moral superiority in war, the Union pretty much had a monopoly on it.
I don't think the warning had anything to do with this great song. I think the warning was for some of the highly offensive, racist and hateful remarks made about our fellow Americans. Not very classy and southern gentlemanly (that's the only thing not to be proud of).
@onehappydogg Well, those sorts of attitudes characterized the CSA, so you can't be too surprised. Still, even if you ignore the comments, I think there's something intrinsically offensive about glorifying treachery.
when i saw the comment that this was offensive i became ashamed of being born in the north america needs to wake up and relize its true history and besides native americans the american south is where you ll find the real americans i was born northern but raised southern god bless the south and fuck the blue belly who made this offensive!!!
I have taken your message to heart. I got out of the southern (no need to make a proper noun out of it) region when I realized that my family was moving back north. We celebrated the fact by lynching an effigy of Strom Thurmond. Not the actual Strom Thurmond. There is a difference.
I guess its offensive to be a southern male whose ancestors fought in the Confederacy. I just wonder when they'll try to round us all up so we're not offensive to anyone? We live in a different world than I grew up in.
I was born in Michigan, and spent my formative years in California. I loved this song as a child. Then my family moved to Virginia. I realized that Johnny Reb was still fighting there, and vowed never to be a part of it. Fuck Johnny Reb.
@RealMiniatures Except for the part where it was fought over the expansion of slavery into the West for the sake of sustaining the institution of slavery.
How can this be offensive, the POOR whites were not not the ones to enslave people, they didn't have the power. The rich had that. The poor people laid down their lives...not the politicians. At least allow songs about their suffering...
@alexafagan i actually like that point ! seems obvious i should know that too comming from liverpool which was built by slaves, the poor people didnt have slaves, thankyou for pointing out that interesting fact !
On my father's side, my earliest American ancestor was born in Virginia in 1617. But 250 years later, my father's ancestors had migrated to Ohio and fought on the Union side in the war. My mom's side of the famil were orginaly Pennsylvania Germans in the 1740's but their grandchildren migrated down the Shenandoah Valley, and by the 1860's were living on medium size farms on the Virginia/North Carloina line, and fought for the Confederates. I am proud to have heritage on both sides of the war.
I think that its a disgrace that this song has been flagged as offensive. Give me a break, its american history. I give a huge respect to "Johnny Reb" because most southeners fought with out proper supplies and suffered a great deal more than their northern adversaries.

This i say get your head out of the sand and learn history for yourself. Quit leasting to here say ond inronat people who dont,t know a thing about what they are talking about. They south came into the union of it,,s own free will had the right to leave of it,s own free will. Also kiss my rebal rear end
only am idioy would call this offensiv. meant idiot the south had the right to break off from the union. This song hounor,s the men who fought and gave their life,s for the right to form their own county. atahat saw fit to break away from an over bearing bullying goverment. The civil war was fought over state,s right,s not slavely. The north had slaves to thought they wont,t say it. I am from the south pround of the rebal flag and whtat it stood for had familey who fought for it
I am A Canadian and Long live the South,Bless the brave men who fought for what they believed in and how much they loved there State. God bless you old Rebs
I'm just going to tell you all, Merle Kilgore wrote one fine historical song here. If you all will lay down your arms long enough, you'll enjoy a rare treat, something you won't find coming out of Trashville these days.
@tylerpharaoh1989 Our grandfathers AND thier sons and brothers. Some were too old or young to join up but thier sons or brothers fought. . I think I am related to half the AL. and Tn. Regiments.
I am Proud to be Cherokee, Southern and a True "Redneck". Remember the Tennessee Volunteers who broke treaty and fought with the South for our Freedom of the Cherokee Nation. Remember the "The "Half-Breed Gorillas Fighters". Remember how they punished us long after the war for being Native Americans who fought not for slavery but our Freedom!!
Long live the South, Long live the Cherokee Nation!!
Great Confederate song. Shame that so many of you are trying to cheapen it, by making it all about race. There was so much more involved with the Great South's ambition.
Latinos passed for white before the civil rights movement. During JIM CROW the public facilities were "WHITE ONLY" and COLORED ONLY". The cowardly Latino as usual passed for white. You will never hear of "LATINO ONLY" facilities during segregation in this country. Now like the cowards they are, they are now declaring to be "LATINO" to receive government benefits. REAL WHITE people have been given a bad rap for decades!!! It is time to find out the truth about these creatures called LATINOS.
proud to be a member of the UDC. Great great grandfather fought from Shiloh Church to Gettysburg and was at Appomattox when Gen Lee surrendered. Southern born, Southern bred, and when I die I'll be Southern dead.
@carolinablue1000 well then as a Southerner.. we dont refer to the battle of Shiloh as the battle of Shiloh church.. its called on our side, the battle of Pittsburgs landing.. 2 hours of daylight more.. and a little less battlefield confusion.. and there would have been no Sherman or Grant.. they and what was left of their army would've perished on a large sand spit next to the river that they'd been pushed to.. with no where to go.. but unfortunately.. the sun went down..
To people that say the south is poor, look what happend during the Guilded age, the Northern Cities like Chicago and New York City were a discust... New York still discusts me... and people up North are so bitter. down here in the south there is a lot more friendly people. although if i lived during the civil war then i would probably fight on the federals mainly because i don't agree wtih slavery, but i do agree with states rights.
"Civil War guys, you're brothers for God sakes, you gotta stop fighting. North wins, slavery's bad. Sorry. Don't want to burst your bubble, but South, you guys get the Allman Brothers, and Nascar, so just chill."
it's ironic that more union officers(nearly all) owned more slaves than did southern officers. most southern officers freeded their before the war or never owned any while union officers only freeded theirs when the US govt brought/paid for them. them
you did not back a single word with proof. What does The Confederacy have to do with social welfare!? you're lame. And you're probably twelve. Learn to shave then come back on.
even though to south lost we fought all the way,RIP W.P. Riley,he was my great great great grandfather who fought for the Confederacy from 1862-1864,sadly on May 5,1864 he was fattaly wounded at the Battle of the Wilderness by a Union Sharpshooter
How can people still be arguing about the civil war? The we both started it, we both lost a lot because of it, slavery is wrong and inhumane, and we should be able to live in peace without discussing this argument like immature children.
@2011Mercman@2011Mercman ; how lame yuo are. it's apart of souther heritage. fact is we are still under occupation by the US govt and don't want to be. so if yuo don't like our position lobby to give us freedom form the US govt.
Why is negro slavery so terrible compared to white slavery, asian slavery, muslim slavery. slavery is alive and thriving in africa, every muslim country, an dpart sof asian and we never hear one word about the horrors of it form people like yuo
@otherworldtrader1: Occupation? I see no troops marching around every Southern settlement. And I'm not saying slavery of African-Americans is the only bad slavery smart guy, all slavery is wrong. Furthermore you do not "hear one word about the horrors of it form people like you" 'cause your head is too far into your own history! We debate international slavery every day! Stop making accusations you know are incorrect.
i missed spelled a fwew words so the ever growing number of internet spelling/grammer cops(who are usually gauy, divorced, living at hole or stoned can make their quota for the day.
Fuck off. Why don't you bring your northern ass down here and say that to my face. Oh thats right your from the north, your all too scared to come down here... unless you have one of your black buddies and his gub.
In this war nobody was on the good or the bad side, there was only pain and death in that war, brothers who fought against each other, everybody knew someone on the other side.
@jlewisda Don't have to, my ancestors defeated the slavers and freed the slaves. I only regret that we allowed the South back in the Union instead of keeping them territories--poor, sans sufferage and ruled by their former slaves!
How can anyone not shed a tear for those brave men and boys? The South fought for their cause. It was a doomed cause, and ultimately a lost cause. The Union was preserved- but at a terrible cost. Call it seven hundred thousand Americans dead, a third of the country burned to ashes. And we sacrificed States' Rights on the altar of Emancipation. The bill for that is just now coming due.
The more I read the posts in here & on other youtube sites the more I think a hunch I had might be right . I think the main reason for the war may of been people in one type of culture don't like /get along well with people in another type . In this case and maybe others an agrarian society versus a industrial society . I had wondered about this cause even though it is over simplified it reminds me of North versus South Vietnam , North versus South Korea . Not sure about other Civil Wars
my family comes from alabama who were there from 1836-1865 and my great great great grandpa W.P. Riley fought for the Confederate Army from 1862-1864,on May 7,1864 he was fataly shot in the chest by a Union Sharpshooter at the Battle of the Wilderness
Williiam Cross Wilcher was born in Wales and came to America when he was two. He fought for what he believed and was wounded and captured at the siege of Vicksburg , Mississippi , about seventy miles from his home in Leake county , Ms . When he was realesed from a northern prison he weighed just seventy five pounds , not counting his wooden leg. This man is my great great great grandfather(or something like that)
It's a good song. The CSA could have won the war if they advanced to DC after first fight of the two nations. They should have advanced, but they can not see the future so now we have a socialist country that claim we are free god bless this country of lies and all death it brings. I will not support this kind of crap. If the south rises again I will be there to support it even if it is "Treason" to a unfree nation
I am an Oregonian who has lived in the South and very much enjoyed my time there. I believe strongly is states' rights. I also think that the South was too severely punished after the War. I am quite conservative, unlike many Oregonians.
However, I appreciate the courtesy that is valued in both the South and in Oregon and Washington.
@threefiveZ So makeing your own choices is treason now?
The Britts saw the yankees as traitors to its all perspective.
We seceeded so that we to could be our own country.
The Confederate flag is the flag of a nation.
A nation of seventy million southerners. We desserve our independance you yanks have stolen our oil and sent our children to die in your imperialist wars. DOWN WITH THE EAGLE AND UP WITH THE CROSS!
The south will live on, cant say that about this Union though.
@TexianPride There really is no "we" here that is something you neoconfederate retards fail to understand. The Failure Flag is the flag of a "nation" of people who utterly and miserably failed to be a nation. That event happen over a century ago. Everyone is over it except you sorry ass attention whores. Get over yourselves! Learn some math, science, and how to use the fucking turn signal!!!
@threefiveZ The south like most new nations had problems however like most new nations we would have pushed through them however the South only had a few months of peace then the US began its invasion its difficult to create a nation when theres a war going on. You came on here and started trouble knowing you would get someone to comment back and yet you call us attention whores lol
The south has the same schooling as the rest of the US you retard.
@TexianPride The CSA was never recognized as a nation by the United States: it was an insurrection and an act of treason. The Southern states demanded that their way of life be replicated (which was slavery) in the newer states despite the fact that many of those states wanted to be free. Bleeding Kansas was an example of this. What peace? Fort Sumter? Face it: the South started what the North finished. We should all celebrate the vanquishing of the CSA!
@TexianPride well then look at how our nation was made by a group of colonies that were already in a war when the declared their independence and they were still recuperating from the french and indian warwhen the british troops were attacking them
@AlltheLittleMillers Although the Southerners are, as a rule, more conservative than the northerners, and less likely to put the nation deeper into debt, you need to realize that Woodrow Wilson, Lyndon B. Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton are all big government liberals who came from the South.
@daleksec54 Considering that your tradition probably stems from lynching and burning crosses that post does not surprise me. Your overtly violent reaction to my suggestion of the destruction of a meaningless symbol only serves to illustrate the backwardness that has resulted from the celebration of the CSA.
@threefiveZ You do realise that by posting what I had posted I don't actually mean that I would take such an action. Or that such an action is dignified. It isn't a pointless symbol, that symbol represents the souls and people that made up a nation that once tried to fight for its independance. It represents those who died for this nation and those who lived under it. The symbol is not pointless and your suggestion that it should be burned is considered a great offense.
@daleksec54 It was a nation in what sense? It was never recognized by the US government as a nation. What independence are you talking about? It was fought so the rich Southern elite could own humans as property worry free! It represents how the greed and stubbornness of the South almost ripped this nation apart. I am sorry, sir, that should be burned!!!
@threefiveZ A nation that secedes from another will NEVER be recognized by the its former Nation. Like with Great Britain and the thirteen colonies during the revolution. The Confederacy was recognized by the Papal states, and it was known that once the Papal states recognizes a catholic nation, it is not a good idea to attack it. And once that happens, Lincoln would be at war with Great Britain, France, and probably Italy, Prussia, and all of the other major catholic nations in Europe.
@threefiveZ Also, it was not fought so the rich southern elite could keep their slaves. Slaves had nothing to do with the war. The real cause of the war was taxes, trade embargoes, poor representation in congress, and many other minor issues. The only reason Lincoln made it a war to end slavery was to try to mediate the Trent Affair, which was when a Union ship boarded and took prisoner two confederate diplomat from the British ship the Trent. After that, Britain vowed retaliation and France
@threefiveZ vowed to assist the British to defeat the United States. You are right about the Southerners stubbornness, but as to why, you are dead wrong. They were fighting the Tyrant Lincoln to protect their lands and family, and many black regiments volunteered to join in the southern cause on their own, but were forbidden due to century old tradition of race that started in the U.S during the colonial days and migrated to the south. Another thing, if you think the confederate flag should
@threefiveZ burned for representing your view of slavery for five years, then I think the U.S flag should be burned for having it fly over slave ships for seventy years, more if you count the thirteen colonies, destroying the remains of the Native American population, and many more injustices that the Union has committed that far out weigh the confederacy. In short, you sir are a arrogant ass.
@Ty032392 Bullshit! What caused the Civil War was Manifest Destiny and the fact that more free states were being added to the Union versus slave states. Southern slave states feared this would threaten their way of life which was slavery so they revolted and they lost. Now it is time for all neo-confederates to let go of their celebration of colossal fail.
@threefiveZ No sir, you are the one full of shit. According to a 1860 U.S census. Out of the 1.2 million population that was in the south, about 482 thousand owned slave, about eight percent of the southern population. Manifest Destiny was the supposed duty of American settlers to settle the Midwest and and west coast. And, as for the slavery thing you brought up, go read a frecking first hand account of both the Northern and Southern command and you will find that most of teh southerners wanted
@threefiveZ to emancipate their slaves when they acquired a new skill, while Lincoln and Grant wanted to keep them on the plantations. Here is a quote by Lincoln "If I could save teh uniion without freeing teh slaves, I would, if I could save the union by freeing the slaves, I would", "and, I am in no way in favor of of bringing about social and or political equality of the white and black race. Nor am I not nor ever in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor qualifying them to hold
@Ty032392 Your quotes by Grant and Lincoln only serve to work against you. The North tried to accommodate the South on countless occasions, but nothing was ever good enough for them. Not only that, the Southerners were becoming increasingly violent with their demands. Lincoln wanted to preserve the Union first, but when victory was at hand, he emancipated the slaves to punish the Southerners for the war that their unreasonableness started.
@threefiveZ Those quotes work against you, as it shows how you are trying to come up with false facts about the south. The North NEVER did try to appease the south, at that time, both the North and South were very hostile with each other, and a failing representation system for the south proves it. You need to research into the War against Northern Aggression before trying to tell me what is what, as I have been studying it from both aspects for eight years now.
@Ty032392 The Missouri Compromise was appeasement. The South not only demanded that its way of life which was slavery be preserved but that it be spread to the newly admitted states so there could be a balance of power between slave and free states. What hostilities from the North? Do you mean the actions of Abolitionists???
@threefiveZ Yes the abolitionist. most northerners and southerners did not care one bit about slavery, nor would they fight a war over it. But, as with everything, some corrupt bastards in Washington had to have their way and force the south into secession.
@Ty032392 No one forced the border ruffians to cause Kansas to bleed. Southerners gleefully introduced violence into the equation. Don't start a fight you don't intend to finish.
Not letting some rich slave owner brings slaves to his summer home in New England is not even close to the guerrilla terrorism of Bleeding Kansas. No one forced anyone do shit. The South left because they felt their way of life which revolved around slavery was being threatened.
@Ty032392 You do not have the privilege of using yourself as an appeal to authority. This is not a university forum, it is YT. Accept that.
I am very familiar with your historical narratives in any intimate way that none of you Neo-Confederates have ever figured out. The time is to let this shit go. The CSA is nothing to be proud of. The time for "healing" is over. Let us now celebrate the defeat of the CSA once and for all.
@threefiveZ I was not using my self as an appeal of authority, I was simply stating that I am doing major research on this time period.
If you say that the CSA is nothing to celebrate, then the USA sure to hell isn't anything to celebrate either. No one will never let go of the CSA, especially seeing how it is getting to the point again to which really started that war. The rights of people.
@Ty032392 The rights of the people to own other people as property. Some noble goal, huh? And thank God, slavery was abolished before it created an even larger population of blacks who would end up disenfranchised whenever it came tumbling down.
You pick the scab of this wound Neo-Confederate. You are the reason it is infected. You are the reason we as a nation can't heal. The CSA lost and we should be grateful. GET OVER IT!!!
@threefiveZ Now, to clarify the manifest destiny. It was created so as to spark a war between the United States and Mexico so as to gain land, and I will give you credit for mentioning that adding new slave or free states was an issue, but not the main issue as you are trying to say.What really spurred the War against Northern Aggression was that the southerners wanted to be left alone and make their own destiny, but the Union could not have that without loosing a major source of income.
@Ty032392 Read the documents of secession yourself, and I can not help it if Southerners are historically tools that fight and die for someone else's interests. If it makes you feel better, so-called hillbillies in East Tennessee, Northern Alabama, and West Virginia realized that it was an impoverished cause for wealthy slave owners and refused to fight for it. They are the only Southerners who should be celebrated.
@threefiveZ I have read them. And in order to have a war. Three things are needed. Money, money, and yes. more money. If you do not have money, then you can not have a war.
@Ty032392 Northern Aggression, my ass!!! You really need to lay off the Redemption Kool-Aid. The South started the Civil War and the North finished it. Bleeding Kansas and Fort Sumter hardly qualify for "wanting to be left alone". These were aggressive acts! And I will agree that the wanted to "make their own destiny" which was an economy that was based upon owning another human being as property.
@threefiveZ The norht caused the war by voting in Lincoln. Also, on January first of the year 1863, the Florida militia took control of the abandoned Pensacola Florida fort Barancas, and a few days later, the Union general in Fort Pickens decided to Bombard the Florida held fort. And shortly after the first bombardment, the Florida militia begain tehir bombardment of the federal foe in Fort Pickens. After that, there was many skirmishes and it all ended a few hours befor Fort Sumter was besieged
@Ty032392 The North caused the war by voting in Lincoln? So it was the election process itself that the South had a problem with? Again, utterly unreasonable. So I am supposed to have sympathy for the Florida militia? It only proves that Southerners were heightening hostilities.
@threefiveZ Do you even realize that Lincoln was hated so much, even in the North. Many of his critics were imprisoned and had no right to a attorney, including the grandson of Francis Scott Key. Lincoln is nothing to celebrate, he was a tyrant, who caused the so called civil war, he ordered the murder of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. basically, a Adolf Hitler of his day.
@Ty032392 You are a silly Neo-Confederate. I am aware that Lincoln was not beloved, but no one who is placed in a difficult situation like he was and does what needs to be done is going to be well liked. Lincoln is martyr who gave his life to quell the traitorous CSA and preserve the Union. The venom in which you speak of him is absurd. The deaths of the Civil War are on the hands of the traitors who started it.
@TexianPride First of all, he/she is not a citizen: that is explicitly stated in the post. Secondly, any foreigner who comes to America and supports the treasonous actions of the CSA deserves to be waterboarded. The CSA is the greatest blemish on American history.
I am a Member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the organization dedicated to preserving Confederate heritage and history in an accurate manner. My ancestor served with the Ninth Georgia volunteers, and was wounded in combat in Tennessee. He never owned a single slave and lived in a one room hut, but he fought for his family and home. In this south, THESE are the men we are proud of, not the 20% of the population that owned slaves.
@QuietObsession It is amazing how screwed up and one-sided the image of the Civil War is in America. I was raised in the north and it is nothing but what a hero Lincoln was. It is like Jesus is the savior and Lincoln is his prophet or something. It is so absurd. Freedom means being able to do what you want. It is terrible that slaves were kept by some. It is terrible that today in America today freedom is dwindling rapidly.
@QuietObsession Well, I have to say that I'm an unashamed descendant of that 20% who's people proudly wore The Gray and fought to preserve the Southern way of life. It says something that my familys' slaves stayed with us well into the 20th century, decades after they were "freed". Had I been alive then, I'd have served President Davis and General Lee. It would have been a mistake, because history has shown how badly the world needed a united America, but no one knew this in 1861.

Call it seven hundred thousand Americans dead, a third of the country burned to ashes. And we sacrificed States' Rights on the altar of Emancipation. The bill for that is just now coming due.

I had wondered about this cause even though it is over simplified it reminds me of North versus South Vietnam , North versus South Korea . Not sure about other Civil Wars

@threefiveZ A nation that secedes from another will NEVER be recognized by the its former Nation. Like with Great Britain and the thirteen colonies during the revolution. The Confederacy was recognized by the Papal states, and it was known that once the Papal states recognizes a catholic nation, it is not a good idea to attack it. And once that happens, Lincoln would be at war with Great Britain, France, and probably Italy, Prussia, and all of the other major catholic nations in Europe.
Ty032392 6 months ago
@threefiveZ Also, it was not fought so the rich southern elite could keep their slaves. Slaves had nothing to do with the war. The real cause of the war was taxes, trade embargoes, poor representation in congress, and many other minor issues. The only reason Lincoln made it a war to end slavery was to try to mediate the Trent Affair, which was when a Union ship boarded and took prisoner two confederate diplomat from the British ship the Trent. After that, Britain vowed retaliation and France
Ty032392 6 months ago
@threefiveZ vowed to assist the British to defeat the United States. You are right about the Southerners stubbornness, but as to why, you are dead wrong. They were fighting the Tyrant Lincoln to protect their lands and family, and many black regiments volunteered to join in the southern cause on their own, but were forbidden due to century old tradition of race that started in the U.S during the colonial days and migrated to the south. Another thing, if you think the confederate flag should

In short, you sir are a arrogant ass.
Ty032392 6 months ago
@Ty032392 Bullshit! What caused the Civil War was Manifest Destiny and the fact that more free states were being added to the Union versus slave states. Southern slave states feared this would threaten their way of life which was slavery so they revolted and they lost. Now it is time for all neo-confederates to let go of their celebration of colossal fail.
threefiveZ 6 months ago
@threefiveZ No sir, you are the one full of shit. According to a 1860 U.S census. Out of the 1.2 million population that was in the south, about 482 thousand owned slave, about eight percent of the southern population. Manifest Destiny was the supposed duty of American settlers to settle the Midwest and and west coast. And, as for the slavery thing you brought up, go read a frecking first hand account of both the Northern and Southern command and you will find that most of teh southerners wanted

@threefiveZ to emancipate their slaves when they acquired a new skill, while Lincoln and Grant wanted to keep them on the plantations. Here is a quote by Lincoln "If I could save teh uniion without freeing teh slaves, I would, if I could save the union by freeing the slaves, I would", "and, I am in no way in favor of of bringing about social and or political equality of the white and black race. Nor am I not nor ever in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor qualifying them to hold
Ty032392 6 months ago
@Ty032392 Your quotes by Grant and Lincoln only serve to work against you. The North tried to accommodate the South on countless occasions, but nothing was ever good enough for them. Not only that, the Southerners were becoming increasingly violent with their demands. Lincoln wanted to preserve the Union first, but when victory was at hand, he emancipated the slaves to punish the Southerners for the war that their unreasonableness started.
threefiveZ 6 months ago
@threefiveZ Those quotes work against you, as it shows how you are trying to come up with false facts about the south. The North NEVER did try to appease the south, at that time, both the North and South were very hostile with each other, and a failing representation system for the south proves it. You need to research into the War against Northern Aggression before trying to tell me what is what, as I have been studying it from both aspects for eight years now.
Ty032392 6 months ago
@Ty032392 The Missouri Compromise was appeasement. The South not only demanded that its way of life which was slavery be preserved but that it be spread to the newly admitted states so there could be a balance of power between slave and free states. What hostilities from the North? Do you mean the actions of Abolitionists???
threefiveZ 6 months ago

@threefiveZ Now, to clarify the manifest destiny. It was created so as to spark a war between the United States and Mexico so as to gain land, and I will give you credit for mentioning that adding new slave or free states was an issue, but not the main issue as you are trying to say.What really spurred the War against Northern Aggression was that the southerners wanted to be left alone and make their own destiny, but the Union could not have that without loosing a major source of income.
Ty032392 6 months ago
@Ty032392 Read the documents of secession yourself, and I can not help it if Southerners are historically tools that fight and die for someone else's interests. If it makes you feel better, so-called hillbillies in East Tennessee, Northern Alabama, and West Virginia realized that it was an impoverished cause for wealthy slave owners and refused to fight for it. They are the only Southerners who should be celebrated.

@threefiveZ The norht caused the war by voting in Lincoln. Also, on January first of the year 1863, the Florida militia took control of the abandoned Pensacola Florida fort Barancas, and a few days later, the Union general in Fort Pickens decided to Bombard the Florida held fort. And shortly after the first bombardment, the Florida militia begain tehir bombardment of the federal foe in Fort Pickens. After that, there was many skirmishes and it all ended a few hours befor Fort Sumter was besieged

@TexianPride First of all, he/she is not a citizen: that is explicitly stated in the post. Secondly, any foreigner who comes to America and supports the treasonous actions of the CSA deserves to be waterboarded. The CSA is the greatest blemish on American history.

I am a Member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the organization dedicated to preserving Confederate heritage and history in an accurate manner. My ancestor served with the Ninth Georgia volunteers, and was wounded in combat in Tennessee. He never owned a single slave and lived in a one room hut, but he fought for his family and home. In this south, THESE are the men we are proud of, not the 20% of the population that owned slaves.

@QuietObsession It is amazing how screwed up and one-sided the image of the Civil War is in America. I was raised in the north and it is nothing but what a hero Lincoln was. It is like Jesus is the savior and Lincoln is his prophet or something. It is so absurd. Freedom means being able to do what you want. It is terrible that slaves were kept by some. It is terrible that today in America today freedom is dwindling rapidly.

@QuietObsession Well, I have to say that I'm an unashamed descendant of that 20% who's people proudly wore The Gray and fought to preserve the Southern way of life. It says something that my familys' slaves stayed with us well into the 20th century, decades after they were "freed". Had I been alive then, I'd have served President Davis and General Lee. It would have been a mistake, because history has shown how badly the world needed a united America, but no one knew this in 1861.
