@Sybok51288 You contradict the very foundation of your country "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it" The very notion of unthinking loyalty to a state against the will of the people is un-American. By your logic Jefferson and Washington were traitors to the British Crown.
@Sybok51288 It is a said observation that America has become over the years many of the things that its founders despised. Interventionist, imperialistic, jingoistic, centralised, disregarding of the will of the people, disdainful of self-determination, blindly loyal to the state and willing to sacrifice liberty for security. Jefferson once said that the greatest form of patriotism is dissent, yet today such people of ridiculed and marginalised in American society, it is a sad thing to see.
Our founding fathers created a government with limited powers, after the Union won the Civil War, they became, "Big Government". Even to this day they are "Big Government". This is why more and more protests and occupy that city and occupy that city. In reality, North and South lost in the long run.
Would that we had more governors like John Letcher. Men unafraid to tell the Federal government when they have overstepped their bounds and exceeded their legal authority.
@tearsinrain86 Nice talk Youtuber. His name will stand the test of time, whilst your's is nothing more than a fleeting grain of sand, caught,seen and remembered by no-one.
@DukeofWellington91 My friend. You seem to have a firm grasp on what you're referring to. All of what was foretold by the Confederacy has come true. And you listed them perfectly. We have over 900 military bases in close to 150 countries. We have over 20 million illegal immigrants, a currency that has been purposely defiled, an enormous debt, an environment thrashed by massive industry.
When Nullification died, this country chose a path of self destruction.
Look up "Dancing Around History," by Blain Roberts and Ethan Kytle, both UNC-Chapel Hill grads and professors at California State University, Fresno (I had history classes with both). The "Lost Cause" argument won't fly with either one of them, nor will it with me, even though my great-great grandfather was a Confederate soldier from Manes, Mo.
@Ihateidiotsify Yeah, its a shame that it is tought to kids in school that the North only fought to free slaves which was never the reason they fought the war. Lincoln wanted to preserve the Union and he over taxed many Southerners and many went bankrupt. Ever since the North won the false lesson that Lincoln freed slaves and they fought to free slaves has been tought to many Americans when infact many Southerners died fighting for their freedom from a tyranny and for their homes.
@AUG351 Great post, good to read other people have common sense and realize the real truth. The United States Government just covered up the war and covered up the war crimes the Union soldiers did in the South. To me, if we are all "America" then the real truth needs to come out. Enough with the covered up version.
Everyone now knows that the given history of the Civil War, presented in Middle and High School is completely false. With the internet, we have become more informed as historians.
There is no doubt in my mind that had Jefferson and Washington been alive in 1861 that they would have supported the confederacy, Lincoln butchered the founding principles or your nation and America has never been the same since, the fact that he is held up as a hero is one of the greatest travesties in history.
it ironic did you know that in the 1840's certain Virginia legislators from the western parts of the state tried to get a law passed outlawing slavery,unfortunately the slave holder in politics the same men 20 years later who would push the cause of disunion got it shot down. had that happened Virginia would have most likely decided to stayed in the United States, where it belonged
Any personal attacks or posts that disparage the memory of any solider from either side will be expunged by me, post haste. They WILL NOT BE TOLERATED....
If need be, I will activate the "no comment" option. If one can not honor their memory then don't post. REMEMBER !!! The grandsons of both sides fought and died, shoulder to shoulder in the The Battle of Belleau Wood, 1918 under the Stars and Stripes. As well as all across Europe in WW II and are comrades to this day !
@71superbee3 I also remember that they and their sons fought in the Imperial War of the now reconstituted Union against the people of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Phillipines.
@TThorne931 Yes, the North did win. Of course, the North had about four times the Southern population, more factories, and a larger navy. Even with all these advantages it still took the Union about five years to defeat the Confederacy. Not to mention that the Union had to blockade the South and wear down their troops before they could win a battle. "Your filthy slavers" You are aware the North had slaves too right?
What do you mean by "The North" though? The Border States that were kept in the Union? New England, the Midwest, the Mid-Atlantic and California did not have slavery within their borders by the 1860 election.
@illerac84 I would bring to your attention that the states of Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri were kept in the union by forced and were never allowed to vote on secession. both Maryland and Missouri were largely in favor of secession after Lincoln's call for 75,000 volunteers and Kentucky was more evenly split on the issue and attempted to remain neutral the Lincoln administration however did not respect this neutrality.
"Six hundred thousand Americans died in a senseless civil war. No, he [Abraham Lincoln] shouldn't have gone, gone to war. He did this just to enhance and get rid of the original intent of the republic. I mean, it was the — that iron, iron fist. " - Ron Paul
@Sistarovat Abe was the WORST pres in US history if u look at his death toll.
EVERY other country in the WORLD got rid of slavery w/out war!! some libs should look it up! 5 slave states fought for the union? WTF those blacks werent freed until well after the war.
? think about it....lincoln could have freed so many in his control but focused on the 1000's NOT under his control to free?
hell i will embrace any Southerner, any color! its never been Black or white, its always blue and grey!
@bluegrassreb1 His goal was to preserve the Union. He only freed the slaves in the confederate states to weaken the south further. Freeing the slaves was never really a goal of his. Slavery was not the only reason for the Civil War. Just the most popular.
@Coolmans24 although tension over slavery did contribute is was hardly the most prevalent reason, most of the tension between north and south was over tariffs and the federal governments spending on infrastructure in the north at the expense of southern states. southerners were greatly hurt by high tariffs. High tariffs made goods more expensive and meant less revenue from exports and the south exported 3/4ths of what it produced.
@monkeyfire087 that is a misconception, Tarriffs played a role in the nullifacation crisis not the civil war. In the south tarriffs were lower than any point since 1819.
@markmason1000 no it is not a misconception the passage of the Morril tariff raised the average tariff rate to 48% with some goods with duties as high as 100%. at the time of the war tariffs and duties collected from southern ports made up 80% of federal revenue most of which was being spent in the north. the south had plenty of reason to be resentful over tariffs. Lincoln's election was the last straw, he was reviled because of his protectionist platform.
@monkeyfire087 thats an excuse the seccession ball used to justify secession, considering that southern states didnt even mention the tarrif, and considering the only reason it passed was that the that states that would have opposed it had already left the union, it doesnt have much revelvance to the argument of secession
Double standard . The South is the scapegoat for the country . People , not me , say slavery was bad but never mention George Washington and his 20 slaves etc. etc. etc. They want all the good of it but when someone points an ignorant finger it is always at the South .
George Mason set the foundation for Stopping the Slave trade. He Was a Virgina man . Who was once friends with George Washington. Who refuse to sign the Constition because the would not put Bill Rights in it.
If Confederate States of America was established as the main government rather than the Union or the United Stated of America, NO EUROPEAN BANKERS WILL TAKE OVER AMERICA. THAT'S ONE FAULT THAT MADE U.S. ECONOMY TREMBLE AND ABOVE ALL, BEING A SLAVE FOR THE ILLUMINATI'S FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.
Many staunch Union supporters don't want to hear the truth. They want government approved history. They want the entire Confederacy to be categorized as Slave owners. 5% of all Southerners owned Slaves before the War. Now if this was a Hollywood movie, every Southern soldier would have a connection with Slavery. Gods honest truth: 1% of Southern Soldiers owned Slaves. The rich never fight, they sit in the back while young, innocent boys die.
Also remember, free blacks served in the Southern army, alongside whites. In the North they were segregated, got paid less than white soldiers and were originally only recruited to do menial work. And Lincoln made the move after he was running out of white soldiers, since many wanted to go home as their papers started to run out.
Slavery was AN issue but not the only one. remember JEFFERSON DAVIS' Inaugural address never mentioned slavery, it did mention taxes tarrifs, etc. Lincoln in his 1st inaugal said that he was bringing the states back into the union by force to collect the taxes and revenues/duties, not 2 abolish slavery. Lincoln even supported a measure that would keep slavery legal in the cotton states forever if they agreed to rejoin. Simply put: the war was about taxes, tariffs, slavery, northern industry,etc
This video shows how a majority of southerners felt about the war.. It was held that secession was a viable option since it was the states that gave birth to the federal government.. not the other way around. And when Lincoln asked for volunteers to wage war on the states (UNCONSTITUTIONAL, the 1 thing the president cannot do is levy war against the states) the upper south would not send troops to tyrannize others. Thats what led the common man 2 fight, not slavery. But to defend his home
Cite the article in the constitution that restricts what the president may do as commander-in-chief of the armed forces vis a vis the states. The constitution is a legal document, not some kind of holy relic that can be invoked whenever there is some moral or amoral cause.
@Langenbrug article 3 section 3. treason=levying war vs states: the president may put down a rebellion... but not levy war against the states.. if the state legislatures vote for something legally that you as a president dont like.. U may not levy war against that state.. this isnt the whiskey rebellion, this is states (the sovereigns that created the federal govt) deciding to leave (as was done by 11 states from the articles to the constitution) remember that was by definition secession as well
People today do not look at the cause of the war or people in general back then in historical context.. you cannot correctly look at the war or people of that time with 21st century standards. truth is northern and southern whites were the exact same in their regards to blacks. There were between 6-10 causes of the war.. to simply say its one issue (either slavery or taxes) is ignorant.
what people dont understand is that by historic standards going back ( genesis-1865) if u were found to support the minority cause and to even think about the abolishment and elimenation of the way social classes work you were thought to be a crazy man. the civil war in no part was fought over slavery. licoln covered up his unjust tarrifs and policy and labeled the war with the cover of . FREE THE SLAVEs. this is coming from a 14 year old yall..
@TheConservative13 Lincoln said that the war effort was simply not working when done in the name of preserving the union.. so he had to manipulate the public into thinking it was about something else.. slavery. people today do not look at the 1860s in historical context.. nor do they admit that a northern white and a southern white were the exact same in their opinion of whites being superior to blacks. people try to oversimplify the war, truth is there might be as many as 10 causes for the war
@23mbtx23 As you are right , but i am trying to reach those who are unfamiliar with the reason for the intital war. I would completely agree that there are numerous reasons as to why the war started. The front line soilders were mostly there to defend and protect their native home and soil from an invader. I was wrong in trying to summarize it with few words, but i cannot sum it all up on this little page.. God bless. TREVOR.
It is impossible to love America and not respect Thomas Jackson. He served the United States in the Mexican War and defended his state against his own government. Regardless of your opinion of secession, Lincoln did not even try to avoid war.
I'm from California, but not ignorant as to believe that the North were the noble, valiant liberators of the "poor slaves", and that the South were evil and a a bunch of slack-jawed, Neanderthals. The North had many flaws. Even Lincoln himself was a racist. There are too many people who's intelligence depends and what's on TV. It's very disturbing.
@mwgroves1961 things in the south would have gone alot better after the war if that "tyrant" Lincoln hadn't been killed ya white suprenacist. SHAME on you and your racism
@ZM7241994 You are correct, he did not believe blacks were equal, but we must all keep in mind that was the time, and to believe blacks were equal was extremely radical at the time, more radical than it is to believe that they are unequal today.
@vermontsoxfan9 You're correct. You didn't say that racism was okay, but you did imply it. You admitted that Lincoln was a racist, but you tried to justify his racism by saying that it was commonplace. Now, if it's okay for Northners to be racist because it was commonplace then why isn't the South excused from racism? You hold a double-standard. The Yankees didn't care about slavery, nor did they care about giving blacks equal rights.
@vermontsoxfan9 I am NOT a Confederate sympathizer, please understand, but do you know how many southerners owned slaves? Now many. Do you know how many northerners gave a shit about the plight of black people? Probably fewer. Which means basically, according to textbooks, we have an war between two largely apathetic armies. I have never bought that. I have no doubt the southern politicians craved the endurance of slavery, but it was meaningless to the large majority of the men fighting the war.
@mranonam your 10000% correct. you couldnt get 95% of people to volunteer and risk their lives so that the richest 5% of the population could own/do anything. and the battle cry of the FEDERAL armies when fighting the confederates was def. not "come on boys lets free the slaves and help blacks to equal equality". The UGLY TRUTH is MOST northerners AND southerners thought they were better than blacks, times were alot different. The south seceded over $ and the north wouldnt allow their $makr 2 go
@mranonam Wow, someone actually get it! Thank you for believing the truth and telling it like it is here. The textbooks have attempted to make our ancestors look like a bunch of racist bigots who hated blacks and wanted to enslave them all. They make our ancestors look like they all had slaves and were all horrible to them. (even most slave owners treated their slaves much better than given credit)
@Anarchizer It was to decline the other form of government "Confederate States of America" so that European bankers will conquer USA. And that is what they did. It's all about politics. Now US suffers because of that. Illuminati's WON THE WAR.
@Putaspellonyou I wish everyone had your same views on racism. People tend to let Lincoln's racism slide because they believe he "freed the slaves". Now, what evidence do I have that he was a racist? He said in his own words that he was a racist. In a debate with Stephen Douglas in 1858 Lincoln said "I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races..." cont.
@Putaspellonyou Lincoln also said in that debate "that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people..."
@ZM7241994 Because it was the Southern government's stance. Because the South cried ''pitiful me'' when they were ''denied their freedom'', when at the same time they denied an entire race their freedom. Certainly the soldiers of the Union were descriminatory at first, but they fought alongside the blacks and they earned each pther's respect.
@ZM7241994 I'm pretty sure the fact that Rebs at the Crater shot down all black soldiers while shouting ''take the white man, kill the nigger'' after they'd surrendered explains it all.....
Well in Ken Burns' "Civil War" they were sent in....and that's the definitive work on the war. And yes at first, but they had a respect, and for some even a love for blacks that the South could never fathom.
@CanadianGuerrilla I would dispute that, although racism was prevalent in both north and south they were very different types of racism. in the south it was a very paternalist version of the white mans burden, where as in the north it was a very vicious and hateful racism. the manumission laws in the north are evidence of this. the south at the time was an integrated society where as the north was segregated. the south had more free blacks who had more rights.
@ZM7241994 Double standard . The South is the scapegoat for the country . People , not me , say slavery was bad but never mention George Washington and his 20 slaves etc. etc. etc. They want all the good of it but when someone points an ignorant finger it is always at the South .
@bh5496 I direct you to look at lincolns quotes on racial equality, and then tell me who is the white supremacist.. shame on you for not knowing history
"A spirit as determined as the Lincoln administration has exhibited toward the South" - isn't there something missing? I don't think you can say that. Perhaps he meant: "as determined as THE ONE THAT the Lincoln administration...."

People today do not look at the cause of the war or people in general back then in historical context.. you cannot correctly look at the war or people of that time with 21st century standards. truth is northern and southern whites were the exact same in their regards to blacks. There were between 6-10 causes of the war.. to simply say its one issue (either slavery or taxes) is ignorant.

what people dont understand is that by historic standards going back ( genesis-1865) if u were found to support the minority cause and to even think about the abolishment and elimenation of the way social classes work you were thought to be a crazy man. the civil war in no part was fought over slavery. licoln covered up his unjust tarrifs and policy and labeled the war with the cover of . FREE THE SLAVEs. this is coming from a 14 year old yall..

@TheConservative13 Lincoln said that the war effort was simply not working when done in the name of preserving the union.. so he had to manipulate the public into thinking it was about something else.. slavery. people today do not look at the 1860s in historical context.. nor do they admit that a northern white and a southern white were the exact same in their opinion of whites being superior to blacks. people try to oversimplify the war, truth is there might be as many as 10 causes for the war

@23mbtx23 As you are right , but i am trying to reach those who are unfamiliar with the reason for the intital war. I would completely agree that there are numerous reasons as to why the war started. The front line soilders were mostly there to defend and protect their native home and soil from an invader. I was wrong in trying to summarize it with few words, but i cannot sum it all up on this little page.. God bless. TREVOR.

It is impossible to love America and not respect Thomas Jackson. He served the United States in the Mexican War and defended his state against his own government. Regardless of your opinion of secession, Lincoln did not even try to avoid war.

I'm from California, but not ignorant as to believe that the North were the noble, valiant liberators of the "poor slaves", and that the South were evil and a a bunch of slack-jawed, Neanderthals. The North had many flaws. Even Lincoln himself was a racist. There are too many people who's intelligence depends and what's on TV. It's very disturbing.

@ZM7241994 You are correct, he did not believe blacks were equal, but we must all keep in mind that was the time, and to believe blacks were equal was extremely radical at the time, more radical than it is to believe that they are unequal today.

@vermontsoxfan9 Why is it okay for Lincoln and Yankees to be racist, but not Southners?
ZM7241994 1 year ago 55
@ZM7241994 Its not ok for anyone to be. I never said that, and there is also a difference in being racist and wanting slavery.
vermontsoxfan9 10 months ago
@vermontsoxfan9 You're correct. You didn't say that racism was okay, but you did imply it. You admitted that Lincoln was a racist, but you tried to justify his racism by saying that it was commonplace. Now, if it's okay for Northners to be racist because it was commonplace then why isn't the South excused from racism? You hold a double-standard. The Yankees didn't care about slavery, nor did they care about giving blacks equal rights.
ZM7241994 10 months ago
@vermontsoxfan9 I am NOT a Confederate sympathizer, please understand, but do you know how many southerners owned slaves? Now many. Do you know how many northerners gave a shit about the plight of black people? Probably fewer. Which means basically, according to textbooks, we have an war between two largely apathetic armies. I have never bought that. I have no doubt the southern politicians craved the endurance of slavery, but it was meaningless to the large majority of the men fighting the war.

@mranonam your 10000% correct. you couldnt get 95% of people to volunteer and risk their lives so that the richest 5% of the population could own/do anything. and the battle cry of the FEDERAL armies when fighting the confederates was def. not "come on boys lets free the slaves and help blacks to equal equality". The UGLY TRUTH is MOST northerners AND southerners thought they were better than blacks, times were alot different. The south seceded over $ and the north wouldnt allow their $makr 2 go

@mranonam Wow, someone actually get it! Thank you for believing the truth and telling it like it is here. The textbooks have attempted to make our ancestors look like a bunch of racist bigots who hated blacks and wanted to enslave them all. They make our ancestors look like they all had slaves and were all horrible to them. (even most slave owners treated their slaves much better than given credit)

@Putaspellonyou I wish everyone had your same views on racism. People tend to let Lincoln's racism slide because they believe he "freed the slaves". Now, what evidence do I have that he was a racist? He said in his own words that he was a racist. In a debate with Stephen Douglas in 1858 Lincoln said "I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races..." cont.
ZM7241994 6 months ago
@Putaspellonyou Lincoln also said in that debate "that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people..."
ZM7241994 6 months ago
@ZM7241994 Because it was the Southern government's stance. Because the South cried ''pitiful me'' when they were ''denied their freedom'', when at the same time they denied an entire race their freedom. Certainly the soldiers of the Union were descriminatory at first, but they fought alongside the blacks and they earned each pther's respect.

@ZM7241994 I'm pretty sure the fact that Rebs at the Crater shot down all black soldiers while shouting ''take the white man, kill the nigger'' after they'd surrendered explains it all.....

@CanadianGuerrilla blacks didnt go in the crater. they were supposed to but grant pulled them out at the last minute. u sound really confused.
but i will say that u r right.
anywhite man facing a black in the 1860's would have called him a ni**er. including EVERY northern state.

Well in Ken Burns' "Civil War" they were sent in....and that's the definitive work on the war. And yes at first, but they had a respect, and for some even a love for blacks that the South could never fathom.
CanadianGuerrilla 4 months ago
@CanadianGuerrilla I would dispute that, although racism was prevalent in both north and south they were very different types of racism. in the south it was a very paternalist version of the white mans burden, where as in the north it was a very vicious and hateful racism. the manumission laws in the north are evidence of this. the south at the time was an integrated society where as the north was segregated. the south had more free blacks who had more rights.

@ZM7241994 Double standard . The South is the scapegoat for the country . People , not me , say slavery was bad but never mention George Washington and his 20 slaves etc. etc. etc. They want all the good of it but when someone points an ignorant finger it is always at the South .

"A spirit as determined as the Lincoln administration has exhibited toward the South" - isn't there something missing? I don't think you can say that. Perhaps he meant: "as determined as THE ONE THAT the Lincoln administration...."
