wow, 90% of the comments are replies to this UnionStatesHeritage idiot, that guy can sure pick up a fight. very similar to the belligerent Republicans in 1861
maybe UnionStatesHeritage should look up H K Edgerton, and watch Gods and Generals, specifically those parts showing Stonewall Jackson's chef if he thinks all blacks are anti-Southern heritage
@JohnnyCBCS Yeah, I'm familiar with old HK. The question is, what do his own people think of him? It' a no brainer that Southern whites would love him. He fits in perfectly with the "you're one of the good 'uns, meantality. Hk is the embodiment of the faithful slave myth. BTW...I seem to recall a vid of HK getting heckled by other Blacks in front of the SC state capitol.
Yeah...Gods & Generals is a MOVIE. Jackson's chef? Nuff said there. Not really helping your case.
they come on these sites just to piss us off. so i see it only fitting that we piss them off by not responding to them or even looking at what they have to say. you tube is not there's to take over and fight every one. i say fuck them and good bye. bitch to some one else. not confederates
@callhunter34 Waaaah...I've got a news flash for you. I don't want y'all to take this crap down. The videos put up by CSA supporters display to the world the despicable, hate-filled nature of Southern 'heritage' Just about every one of these vids is hive of hatred directed against, non-Southerners, the USA, and people in general. These sites are just as bad as the Muslim sites, in their rhetoric.
One thing is for true...you people are the emodiment of what the South really IS.
@UnionStatesHeritage Taking the fight to the enemy? That kills an empire just ask Rome. The empire will fall soon or it will be reformed it can not last forever, remember all empires fall, liberty shall prevail.
@wolfsadfree That may be true of empires, but the USA is Constitutional Republic...in fact the oldest in the world.
Liberty prevailed the day a pompous, over-dressed, Virginia "aristocrat", commanding an army of starving, shoeless, conscripts, surrendered to the self-made general of a modern democratic nation...freeing four million slaves in the process.
@UnionStatesHeritage Actually, in the South, we get taught Yankee propaganda like you blab out everyday, but unluckily for you carpetbaggers, we have a fine tradition of storytelling. Have you looked up the 'Immortal 600' yet? They were rich officers and aids, who you say fought for slavery. Most of America's soldier's come from the South. Go troll some Jihadists, KKK, Black Panthers, or someone who actually wants to kill and oppress people.
@RebelSoldat1 It means the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy; that our youth will be trained by Northern schoolteachers; will learn from Northern school books their version of the war; will be impressed by the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors, and our maimed veterans as fit objects for derision - Patrick Cleburne "Stonewall of the West"
@UnionStatesHeritage Rome was a Republic at first, too, and also very constitutional. And General Lee wasn't overdressed, or pompous in any way, in fact he wore a simple colonel's uniform, with no golden knots and only a simple hat, that while being the most important commander in the South. Go look, his adjutants were better dressed than him. And freeing the slaves? really? everyone knows Lincoln didn't care about them, it was a political maneuver to keep England and France out of the war.
@JohnnyCBCS Lee WAS a typical pompous, self-entitled, self-styled Southern 'aristocrat'. Believe me, I know the type, I've spent a
lot of time among the South's elite, and they haven't changed much in their outlook, over the past 150 years.
Irrefutable fact. 1861... four million slaves in Dixie. !865... four million slaves are free. They didn't get that way, because of anything Lee, Davis, or the Confederate Army tried to accomplish.
@UnionStatesHeritage I see there's no point in discussing anything about the War with you, you're just one-sided and set in your ways. Also, you are very zealous, spending enormous amounts of time trying to defeat arguments that don't matter nowadays, anyway. But I know better, you can't fool me, and I've studied not only Lee, but also many other officers, both Union and Confederate. And the slavery question, too. I'm passioned about history, you're passioned about causing arguments.
@JohnnyCBCS I'm guessing you've never heard of people like Rachel Cormany? She was one of the civilians in PA, who documented the ANV's deliberate round up of Black Pennsylvanians during Lee's (laughably brief) occupation of my home Commonwealth.
Yep, not something that gets much press in CW discussion...Lee's army rounding up women and children as captives, and marching them South to Virginia's slave markets.
@UnionStatesHeritage even if this were ever half true, it wouldn't come a million miles close to what Sherman, Sheridan, Turchin, and so many other Northern soldiers did to the Southern common folk, whom they officially considered their fellow-citizens. And no doubt, if this had taken place, the post-war propaganda would not have wasted a second in magnifying and publicizing such events.
@JohnnyCBCS It's not half true. It's fact. If you as impassioned about history as you say are, don't you think you should know about it. It's not that terribly difficult to discover. Yeah, the long-term effects of Lee's reign of terror among Blacks in Southern PA, WAS devastating.
Spare me the sob story, Sheridan, Sherman, and Turchin committed no crimes, the Confederate regime was not already committing against Southern Unionists. Ever hear of the Gainesville TX hanging?
@UnionStatesHeritage yeah, i just read those memoirs, and the lady even mentions how the Confederates, despite frightening the not-used-to-war Pennsylvanians, acted nicely, and loved to hear the locals sing a song 'when this cruel war is over'. And sure, destroying the property of common folk is not a crime, your honor. Especially when you consider them your countrymen, right, judge?
@JohnnyCBCS Nice. I never mentioned atrocities committed against WHITES in PA. Though it is a fact that Lee was a better thief in PA, than Sherman was in GA. I was referrring to the ANV's treatment of Southern Pennsylvania's African American community.
Well dude, then I guess you should be up in arms about the CSA's policies towards Southern Unionists throughout the South. You're very careful to avoid that topic.
@JohnnyCBCS Not only did Lee's army engage in slaving while in the Commonwelth, they also threatened whites who tried to interfere with death or property destruction.
BTW...Rachel Cormany's diaries are backed up by Confederate accounts as well.
I can't help but wonder, if Confederate reenactors bother to recreate that little chapter of living history, during their annual Civil War drag fests, at Gettysburg.
@UnionStatesHeritage friendly wager it is. This should be included in a tome named the Civil War Apocrypha, that can later be also simplified as kid's fairy tales. You know, I'm glad General Grant was a lot different than you, that saved the sections from fighting again, and facilitated the 'noble mission' (Jeff Davis quote) of restoring the Union. Someone like you would have destroyed any restoration prospect, and would have left irreparable damage to the USA
@JohnnyCBCS I can tell you this. People like Lee, Davis, Benjamin, Stephens, Bragg, and Forrest WOULD NOT have escaped a good old fashioned hanging, at the end of the war, if it had been up to me. I'm a firm believer in frontier justice. I'd be willing to bet that if Grant could see the way in which Confederate Heritage, has continued to wage its culture war, agains the USA for the past 150yrs, he'd agree with me.
@UnionStatesHeritage that's why, like I already said, it's very good NOTHING was up to you at the end of the war, and it's very good NOTHING is up to you now. But you have all the freedom to blabber and pretend to know history. And you also have every right to pretend you know Grant's intentions and tendencies from the inside out, damn, Grant himself didn't know his thoughts as well as you do today!
@UnionStatesHeritage U.S.A. a Constitutional Republic? Hah! Maybe before Andrew Jackson became President. If you conquer lands you are an empire, if you commit acts of genocide I rank you as an empire, if you are ever (negatively) entangled in other countries from war to other prospects you are an empire. All empires fall there are no exceptions, Freedom, and Liberty shall prevail whether or not the empire wills it, it's only a matter of time.
@wolfsadfree LOL...name a group of people who haven't committed genocide at one time or another, in their history. Even the sainted Native Americans engaged in ethnic cleansing and "empire building".
@LukeWapelhorst You need to preaching that sermon to CSA supporters. The overwhelming majority of Civil War vids on Y-tube are...you guessed it, pro Confederate, and just about all of 'em are overflowing with hate-filled rhetoric.
@UnionStatesHeritage All all of the Confederate videos with hate? I see more blacks with the Southern Cross hanging up on the wall behind them than I do whites. And the rest of the videos are songs like this one. The War has everything to do with modern politics. If you are uneducated enough to know why, ask me, a fourteen-year-old kid.
Note: It is actually improper to call the War a 'Civil War' because a civil war is a fight over government control, not secession.
@RebelSoldat1 You're entirely right considering the South had already seceded it would be illegitimate to call it a civil war, or as the govt. wishes for it to be called the war between the States. When the more accurate name could very from things such as The War of Northern Aggression, to a host of other names.
@RebelSoldat1 HAHAAA...tell ya what dude, you bring a bundle of Rebel Rags here to SC, and set up a little sidewalk kiosk, in ANY African American community, and hand them out for free. I'd be real curious to see how that worked out for ya.
Since the South was not united on the issue of secession, and a large number of white Southerners either fought for the Union, or tried to stay out of the conflict, that pretty much makes it a civil war.
Well, just because it's a video of the Confederacy doesn't mean they are all neo-Confederates that want to fight the war again. I love old German music from WW1 and WW2, but that doesn't make me neo-Nazi. We descend from these Confederates who fought on the land we still live on only 150 years ago. It's sill a very important part of not only American history, but family history.
@LukeWapelhorst you're absolutely right, but there's no point in explaining that to the idiot who brands himself unionstatesheritage. just let him be, and let him waste his whole life responding to millions of comments and disrespecting people
@LukeWapelhorst Evidently you haven't bothered to read the rhetoric accompanying the vids, and the comments from supporters. One of the more common of those vids is the South's unofficial anthem..."I'm A Good Old Rebel"...ever bother to listen to the lyrics to that song?
The only decent thing abou that song, is the fact that it is an accurate portrayal of the kind of people who are CSA supporters.
@UnionStatesHeritage Ha. Ha. I went to Charleston, South Carolina last year and saw people (including blacks) wearing Confederate kepi's for sun shades. I was wearing one to, and one teenage fellow who was a little older than I (he was black.) asked if he could try on my kepi a take a picture of him wearing it. I told him that he could buy one for a few bucks nearby. I'm serious! People down there were a little weird but it was pretty cool.
@RebelSoldat1 Which means what exactly? I invited you to go to an African American neighbood here in SC, and hand out free battle flags. While you're at it, talk up the Confederacy.
I lived in SC of and on for 27 years. I've met one Black guy at a bar, who claimed to be a Black Confederate. Even his white buddies thought he was a little nuts.
You've got HK Edgerton, and that pathetic college student at USC. Question here is how much flak are they getting from their own people?
@UnionStatesHeritage Ok, I'd do that but I live in NC and I obviously can't drive. You do realize that you are actually promoting racism by all this trolling right? I never think of a man's color until African-American History Month or a troll like you comes around. You're a bit like a feminist - a person who fights for womens 'rights' which results in women acting and looking like whores, hate, etc. ya know that?
@JohnnyCBCS Hey there Johnny, still waiting for you to either try and refute the behavior of Lee's army towards the Black community in PA. You dodged it the last time around, by only commenting on how white civilians were treated. Ever hear of The Valley of The Shadow Project? A study of people living in the Shenandoah Valley, in VA & PA during the war? As I recall it was produced by the University of VA. They covered the subject in a fair amount of detail.
@UnionStatesHeritage every war has its atrocities, and Forrest committed one against black people on a certain occasion. Yeah, the Southern Unionist people had the right to secede from the CSA, West Virginia did, even though 2/3 of it were not excited about living the CSA. However, in those same memoirs you talk about, blacks are referred to as 'contraband' by that same lady. They were marginalized in both the North and the South, racism was pretty equal in both sections.
@UnionStatesHeritage the only difference is that the Yankees wanted slavery out, not that they actually thought different of blacks. Also, within many Southern households, blacks were like family members, Gone With the Wind depicts that. The only thing the South wanted was to continue the institution for the time being, it was economically impossible to get rid of it right then. The war forcibly ended it, with no other nation ever ridding itself of slavery through hostility.
@UnionStatesHeritage even though that was not even close to the initial purpose of the war, it proved politically profitable, and the CSA, to Jackson's and Longstreet's chagrin, did not emancipate first, only at the end of the war, when it was way too late. Thus Lincoln successfully used the blacks for his political purposes, and well-educated African Americans know that well. Also, they were used as cannon fodder by the Yankees, the numbers tell it plainly.
@UnionStatesHeritage the emancipation that would have occurred anyway by the beginning of the twentieth century was shoved down the State's throats, and the consequences could have been seen till not too long ago. The strife and suffering that followed the war ruined the South almost as much as the conflict itself. Good thing now it's all over, and people like you just seem like idiots, sometimes even unrealistic lunatics, 'living' during times they have no idea about in the first place
@UnionStatesHeritage Also, i'd recommend not pissing off so many people, like the guy that wants to beat you up, and you defy him. You see, you're earning yourself too many enemies, and even if you could beat Chuck Norris up, you can't fight against thousands of people that you incite to anger. I don't know your age, but you're acting like a stupid teenager, and your knowledge isn't any better than that, either
@JohnnyCBCS You know George Pickett even discussed the movement of "captives" with his army. It's fair to say that its unlikely St. Robert was unaware of the existence of these people. So, why is it he didn't order their immediate release, if he was so opposed to slavery? For that matter, I'm unaware of Lee ever officially opposing the Confederate regime's policy of executing Black Union soldiers, and the white officers commanding them. Care to comment on that?
@UnionStatesHeritage Actually some accounts from Union soldiers after the capture of Fort Fisher asking surrendering Confederates about captured black troops they said they were told to treat any free black soldiers from the North or Northern slave states like white Union captured soldiers but any direct slaves from the South would be executed, they also told the Confederate troops to surrender or they will release the black soldiers on them lol.
@wolfsadfree HAHAHA...You ever here of the Trail of Tears. How the hell do you think the South was settled? By ethnically cleansing the native population.
@UnionStatesHeritage Yes, I have heard of the Trail of Tears, and I am fairly sure that was D.C.s doing, no? It was backed by Andrew Jackson, though I give you that it is a good example of ethnic cleansing by the empire of today.
@UnionStatesHeritage Andrew Jackson was not a voice for secession, thus he was still a Federal man despite his birth place and where he grew up. Besides he was President a long time before secession was considered by the South. As well as the fact that it was not the Confederacy that undertook such an operation.
@UnionStatesHeritage I'm Cherokee and my people were removed by THE UNION GOV. And We fought for the Confederacy then after the war guess who killed my people yet again? The UNION GOV. And there were plenty of Native tribes in the Norht that were 'removed'. Learn your history alright lad?
@XxDevin2xX Sir, don't waste your time with this lad, he's ignorant and loves to argue with everyone, that's probably his sole occupation. Nor is he open to any actual facts or explanations, making him an ignorant Yankee propagandist.
hey every confederate here why don't we just forget the yankee fagots if they think they now everything then lets just let them keap thinking that and stop talking to them. the nerve of those damb pricks .lets all go on with are lives and cool are blood. there trying to pick a fight and i have been lead into it. they think that they can make a good song bad and try to pull it of youtube but they dont know that we will put it back on.
I have had four family members that have fought for the confederacy and am proud of them. They stood up for what they believe in and did not back down; even when faced against hordes of Union troops. Such a travesty that the war had brought but lets us remember and honor who have fought and died for what they believe in. Union or Confederate.
@AlabamaSoldier LOL...HOW many witches did New Englanders burn in the 1600s?...4 MILLION slaves in dear old Dixie in 1861. Racism is itself a radical ideology opposed by BOTH liberal and conservatives, outside the South, during Civil Rights.
Yep, Confederates betrayed both the ideal & the nation itself, even bragged about it in the Cornerstone Speech.
@UnionStatesHeritage "our sympathies cannot go with the Southern states, who in the second half of the 19th Century are proclaiming a doctrine, the foulest and most revolting that has ever been enunciated since our blessed Redeemer, hung upon the cross of shame, and bore away the sins of the world. Sympathy with the Southern states! We have as much sympathy with them, as with a gang of thieves or a crew of pirates"....Scotland's Presybterian community commenting on the war...AT THE TIME.
@UnionStatesHeritage hey ass hole if you don't like southern heritage then get of this dang page and jack off some where else. we don't want you're kind here if i ever find you i'm ganna kick some arse. you don't know shit about the war. you don't know shit about you're grandfathers . i'm 14 and i know more shit than you about the war.and i can point out more than 100 things on this page that you have wrong. 1. lincon was a hero. 2. were domestic terrorists.
@callhunter34 Kid, any time you'd like to try and kick my ass, you come right ahead, and bring some of your adult friends to do the fighting for you. I've been a student of history twice as long as you've been alive, I'm not intimidated by some little snot-nosed punk, who barks like a junk yard Pomeranian.
Do you smell that? It's time to change your diaper.
@UnionStatesHeritage 3. the south was for slavery... and what you said about confederateboy101. dang!!! just gos to show how evil yankees are and why some of them should be shot. i have yankee parents and i love them but they get me mad some times and some yankees are just born like that so no don't kill all of them but you need to leave this site now
@callhunter34 Actually, little bit, your comment is a perfect illustration of how evil Confederate Heritage is...separates you from your own parents, whom you identify as "Yankees". I seem to recall the Nazi Party encouraging German youth to place loyalty to the Reich over their parents. You're a prime example of why I would never raise kids in the South. Not gonna leave, so you might as well stop yapping.
@callhunter34 "The South fought on account of the thing we quarreled with the North about. I never heard of any other cause for quarrel, than slavery"...Confederate Colonel. John Singleton Mosby, communicating his disdain for the notion that the war had been fought over anything other than slave rights. That quote never gets old, 'cause it's the simple, unfiltered truth.
@AlabamaSoldier The Confederate States, "unblushingly proclaim that slavery is to be the normal condition of this millenium which they are about to introduce, and that they, as the superior race, are bound by the law of Divine Providence to keep the sons and daughters of Africa in perpetural bondage"...Presbyterian scholars in Scotland, circa 1861. TAKE NOTE..they condemn the CSA based upon what Confederates proclaimed THEMSELVES to be.
i have a great uncle who was a private in company k of the 5th georgia infantry, he died in 1864, so i am guessing that was in the atlanta campaign, or while attacking sherman all the way to savannah. very heroic. i hope the yankee that killed him will burn in hell for all eternity, and learn that he was NOT right in what he did.
I have a great grandfather fight for the confederate army in North Carolina and I have a letter saying at the end of the war he came home and found his house burnt down and his animals dead! so disput that yankees
We had the right to leave the yankees but instead Abraham had to come and kill and burn down the south like a TYRANT so what do you think of that yankees
@TexianPride To any foreigner, you're a Yank. Personally, I'm insulted that foreigners don't know the difference between Southerners and true-blood Americans, but there ya go.
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants..."
---Thomas Jefferson
This is exactly what southerners were fighting for; liberty and against a tyrant who would have trampled us and our freedom into the dust. Deo Vindice.
@Lieblingsfachful Jefferson also stated that slavery (not states rights, tariffs, or any other red herring) would be the rock upon which the Union split. Good enough for him. Good enough for me.
@Lieblingsfachful LOL...Southerners were fighting for "liberty". Liberty for whom? The four million people forced lived in perpetural servitude, by the CSA's travesty of a constitution? The citizens of East TN, and other areas of the South, who voted to remain in the Union, and were forced into the Confederate empire at bayonet point?
@UnionStatesHeritage No, I'd be more than willing to. But ultimately, it just breaks down into a battle of opinions where neither side will yield and no resolution will ever be made. I respect your right to disagree, so respect mine to do so also.
@Lieblingsfachful In other words, you've got nothing. Nope it's not opinion. You people claim the South wasn't fighting for slavery, and was fighting for states rights, tariffs, any other thing you can come up with. Well, the CSA's own documents, backed up by their actions, irrefutably prove that to be false.
By contrast...1861 four million slaves (almost half the South's population held in servitude)...1865 four million slaves freed by the Union Army...irrefutable fact.
@Lieblingsfachful Yeah. Correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't that the amendment that didn't even pass until after the Souht left the Union? Just out of curiosity did you ever hear of Lawrence Keit, SC Congressman?
@UnionStatesHeritage It never passed. It was an amendment that stated, and I quote:
"No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State."
It was proposed after the south had left. Just saying, it seems if they had stayed, they could have kept their slaves.
@Lieblingsfachful Yep, but then again, the war really had nothing to do with interfering in the domestic institutions of the South. The war was about the South forcing the expansion of slavery, on the rest of the nation.
Ever hear of Hinton Rowan Helper? "The Impending Crisis In The South" 1858
Simple fact. The even with the Corwin Amendment, the South's elite could not stay in the Union, and maintain their institutions.
@UnionStatesHeritage I looked but Keit. I busted out laughing. Absolutely hilarious. Don't know why he wasn't expelled from the congress though....
Anywho, I agree with you on that point. Slavery was a dying institution, even if the Corwin Amendment. If you go and look at the records many of the court cases prior to the civil war, especially southern ones, ruled against slavery's legality. One of the main reasons it was taken to the supreme court with the fugitive slave law.
@Lieblingsfachful Ever hear of John C. Fremont. The first Republican Presidential candidate. You won't hear him mentioned by people like Ron Paul. Fremont was not a Yankee. Fremont was a born and bred Southerner, who emigrated to Cali, and did not want to see the plantation economy (and all its evils) exported to newly-formed states in the West...especially over the wishes of the citizens of those territories.
@callhunter34 The influence of Hollyweird (which has always been pro-Confederate) on how the Civil War is remembered, by the general public. Hollywood has long venerated the enemies of the USA, and made "kewl", the brutal dictatorial regimes, that thumb their noses at our values...Che, Hugo Chavez, Castro, Stalin, Daniel Ortega, etc. No surprise they'd love someone like Jefferson Davis.
UNIONSTATESHERITAGE IS A A LONELY PILE OF SHIT WHO LIKES TO DOWN SOUTHERN MEN AND WOMAN!! IF YOU KNOW THIS SCUM GIVE HIM A BOOT IN THE ARSE! OH BTW HE IS A COWARD AS WELL!! IAM STILL WAITING FOR YOU TO TELL ME A MEETING PLACE SO WE CAN HANDLE OUR BUSINESS!!
FUCK GRANT,SHERMAN AND A DOZEN OTHERS, AND YES WAS A DAMN TRAITOR TYRANT, KILL THEM DAMN YANKEE SOLDIERS, WE MAY HAVE BEEN BAREFOOT, OUTA BULLETS , BUT WE GOT 300,000 OF YOU MOTHER FUCKERS BEFORE YA CONQUERED US. DAMN YANKEES!
@doversniper Yep, I love comments like this one, because they display to the rest of the world, just what kind of people Southerners really are.
BTW...We got about as many of Y'all. Difference in combat-related deaths between the two armys is only 16,000, and that is only because for much of the war, the Rebs had a defensive advantage, and the battlefield tactics of the day had not kept up with technology.
@UnionStatesHeritage dude, if you hate the Southerners so much, why are you so fanatic about a war that was meant to keep them in the same country as yours? I'm really perplexed... And the rest of the world can judge for themselves, they don't need a wannabe historian and philosopher to teach them.
@JohnnyCBCS I hate Confederates then and now....not Southerners. There's a big difference. If you were as impassioned about history as you say you are, there's another point of which you'd already be aware.
Suggest you read the book "Bitterly Divided, The South's Inner Civil War", by David Williams ( a Southern author). Documents a very different Southern perspective of the war, than the Lost Cause drivel, you're so fond of parroting.
@UnionStatesHeritage dude, in your initial comment you said 'Southern people', not 'Confederates', stop changing stories. And I don't parrot any cause, unlike you I'm well aware it's 2012 now, not 1861. But the fact that the North had it's own big share in provoking hostilities is the conclusion I draw after studying facts for years. However, that has no value today, both North and South have healed their wounds, which was the desire of Lee and Davis after the war, too. You go get a life
states rights wernt just about slavery asshole a very small amount of southerners owned slaves only the very wealthy so before you spread more bullshit study some real history
@1austinlee7 "The South fought on account of the thing we quarreled with the North about. I never heard of any other cause for quarrel, than slavery"...Col. John Singleton Mosby...CSA
@jerrypecks he is right in the respect that the people who actually fought for the Confederates didn't necessarily do so because of slavery, most of them didn't own slaves... It was the leaders who supported slavery and just convinced the people to fight for them because the Federalists invaded 'their' land...
@JOHNNYFREEDOMdaREBEL From a yanke the Civil War was more complex than they're willing to admit. Not everyone fought for slavery or racism. Most fought to protect themselves. Others fought because they were bored or had no money and had to pay off debt. Others fought to protect what their land, their homes, and families.
@lastswordfighter Also what you don't hear about are the Indians that fought for both the North and South. Turns out they owned slaves themselves. And in an ironic twist there were quite a few freed blacks that had slaves themselves. So that cuts right through the concept that the white man was evil and wanted to keep his slaves. There were also economic. political and social reasons at play caused the war to happen as well.
@lastswordfighter "the South fought on account of the thing we quarreled with the North about. I never heard of any other cause for quarrel, than slavery"...Col. John Singleton Mosby...CSA.
@UnionStatesHeritage I will not waste my time arguing with you. I can tell that you clearly don't give two shits about history. You're just use the Union and the Civil War as a platform to troll people on the internet.
@lastswordfighter LOL...I love it when Confederate cultists get pissed off, and "refuse to waste their time", when their own heritage comes back to bite them on the ass, in the form of quotes from letters, documents, and speeches, made by Southerners AT THE TIME.
There's a lot more Confederate videos trolling You-tube, Luv, so the troll argument doesn't hold water.
@UnionStatesHeritage Question why don't you stay with the Union State Heritage videos, and leave those who hold with Confederate States Heritage videos alone? Do you not care or do you have no decency?
@wolfsadfree Answer...I believe in taking the fight to the enemy. I don't think that apologists and admirers of The Slaver's Rebellion, are in a position to question anyone's sense of decency.
@JOHNNYFREEDOMdaREBEL i like how people say lincoln was the greatest president but what about washington? i guess hes not important to them -lol when i say that to someone who believes that they shut up right there and then lol

@UnionStatesHeritage Actually, in the South, we get taught Yankee propaganda like you blab out everyday, but unluckily for you carpetbaggers, we have a fine tradition of storytelling. Have you looked up the 'Immortal 600' yet? They were rich officers and aids, who you say fought for slavery. Most of America's soldier's come from the South. Go troll some Jihadists, KKK, Black Panthers, or someone who actually wants to kill and oppress people.

@UnionStatesHeritage Rome was a Republic at first, too, and also very constitutional. And General Lee wasn't overdressed, or pompous in any way, in fact he wore a simple colonel's uniform, with no golden knots and only a simple hat, that while being the most important commander in the South. Go look, his adjutants were better dressed than him. And freeing the slaves? really? everyone knows Lincoln didn't care about them, it was a political maneuver to keep England and France out of the war.

@JohnnyCBCS Lee WAS a typical pompous, self-entitled, self-styled Southern 'aristocrat'. Believe me, I know the type, I've spent a
lot of time among the South's elite, and they haven't changed much in their outlook, over the past 150 years.
Irrefutable fact. 1861... four million slaves in Dixie. !865... four million slaves are free. They didn't get that way, because of anything Lee, Davis, or the Confederate Army tried to accomplish.

@UnionStatesHeritage even if this were ever half true, it wouldn't come a million miles close to what Sherman, Sheridan, Turchin, and so many other Northern soldiers did to the Southern common folk, whom they officially considered their fellow-citizens. And no doubt, if this had taken place, the post-war propaganda would not have wasted a second in magnifying and publicizing such events.

@JohnnyCBCS It's not half true. It's fact. If you as impassioned about history as you say are, don't you think you should know about it. It's not that terribly difficult to discover. Yeah, the long-term effects of Lee's reign of terror among Blacks in Southern PA, WAS devastating.

@UnionStatesHeritage friendly wager it is. This should be included in a tome named the Civil War Apocrypha, that can later be also simplified as kid's fairy tales.

@RebelSoldat1 You're entirely right considering the South had already seceded it would be illegitimate to call it a civil war, or as the govt. wishes for it to be called the war between the States.

Since the South was not united on the issue of secession, and a large number of white Southerners either fought for the Union, or tried to stay out of the conflict, that pretty much makes it a civil war.

A study of people living in the Shenandoah Valley, in VA & PA during the war? As I recall it was produced by the University of VA. They covered the subject in a fair amount of detail.
UnionStatesHeritage 1 month ago
@UnionStatesHeritage every war has its atrocities, and Forrest committed one against black people on a certain occasion. Yeah, the Southern Unionist people had the right to secede from the CSA, West Virginia did, even though 2/3 of it were not excited about living the CSA. However, in those same memoirs you talk about, blacks are referred to as 'contraband' by that same lady. They were marginalized in both the North and the South, racism was pretty equal in both sections.
JohnnyCBCS 1 month ago
@UnionStatesHeritage the only difference is that the Yankees wanted slavery out, not that they actually thought different of blacks. Also, within many Southern households, blacks were like family members, Gone With the Wind depicts that. The only thing the South wanted was to continue the institution for the time being, it was economically impossible to get rid of it right then. The war forcibly ended it, with no other nation ever ridding itself of slavery through hostility.
JohnnyCBCS 1 month ago
@UnionStatesHeritage even though that was not even close to the initial purpose of the war, it proved politically profitable, and the CSA, to Jackson's and Longstreet's chagrin, did not emancipate first, only at the end of the war, when it was way too late. Thus Lincoln successfully used the blacks for his political purposes, and well-educated African Americans know that well. Also, they were used as cannon fodder by the Yankees, the numbers tell it plainly.
JohnnyCBCS 1 month ago
@UnionStatesHeritage the emancipation that would have occurred anyway by the beginning of the twentieth century was shoved down the State's throats, and the consequences could have been seen till not too long ago. The strife and suffering that followed the war ruined the South almost as much as the conflict itself. Good thing now it's all over, and people like you just seem like idiots, sometimes even unrealistic lunatics, 'living' during times they have no idea about in the first place

@UnionStatesHeritage Actually some accounts from Union soldiers after the capture of Fort Fisher asking surrendering Confederates about captured black troops they said they were told to treat any free black soldiers from the North or Northern slave states like white Union captured soldiers but any direct slaves from the South would be executed, they also told the Confederate troops to surrender or they will release the black soldiers on them lol.

@UnionStatesHeritage It never passed. It was an amendment that stated, and I quote:
"No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State."
It was proposed after the south had left. Just saying, it seems if they had stayed, they could have kept their slaves.
Lieblingsfachful 1 month ago
@Lieblingsfachful Yep, but then again, the war really had nothing to do with interfering in the domestic institutions of the South. The war was about the South forcing the expansion of slavery, on the rest of the nation.
Ever hear of Hinton Rowan Helper? "The Impending Crisis In The South" 1858
Simple fact. The even with the Corwin Amendment, the South's elite could not stay in the Union, and maintain their institutions.

@UnionStatesHeritage I looked but Keit. I busted out laughing. Absolutely hilarious. Don't know why he wasn't expelled from the congress though....
Anywho, I agree with you on that point. Slavery was a dying institution, even if the Corwin Amendment. If you go and look at the records many of the court cases prior to the civil war, especially southern ones, ruled against slavery's legality. One of the main reasons it was taken to the supreme court with the fugitive slave law.

@UnionStatesHeritage dude, in your initial comment you said 'Southern people', not 'Confederates', stop changing stories. And I don't parrot any cause, unlike you I'm well aware it's 2012 now, not 1861. But the fact that the North had it's own big share in provoking hostilities is the conclusion I draw after studying facts for years. However, that has no value today, both North and South have healed their wounds, which was the desire of Lee and Davis after the war, too. You go get a life

@jerrypecks he is right in the respect that the people who actually fought for the Confederates didn't necessarily do so because of slavery, most of them didn't own slaves... It was the leaders who supported slavery and just convinced the people to fight for them because the Federalists invaded 'their' land...

@JOHNNYFREEDOMdaREBEL From a yanke the Civil War was more complex than they're willing to admit. Not everyone fought for slavery or racism. Most fought to protect themselves. Others fought because they were bored or had no money and had to pay off debt. Others fought to protect what their land, their homes, and families.

@lastswordfighter Also what you don't hear about are the Indians that fought for both the North and South. Turns out they owned slaves themselves. And in an ironic twist there were quite a few freed blacks that had slaves themselves. So that cuts right through the concept that the white man was evil and wanted to keep his slaves. There were also economic. political and social reasons at play caused the war to happen as well.

@UnionStatesHeritage I will not waste my time arguing with you. I can tell that you clearly don't give two shits about history. You're just use the Union and the Civil War as a platform to troll people on the internet.
lastswordfighter 1 month ago
@lastswordfighter LOL...I love it when Confederate cultists get pissed off, and "refuse to waste their time", when their own heritage comes back to bite them on the ass, in the form of quotes from letters, documents, and speeches, made by Southerners AT THE TIME.
There's a lot more Confederate videos trolling You-tube, Luv, so the troll argument doesn't hold water.

@UnionStatesHeritage Question why don't you stay with the Union State Heritage videos, and leave those who hold with Confederate States Heritage videos alone? Do you not care or do you have no decency?

@wolfsadfree Answer...I believe in taking the fight to the enemy. I don't think that apologists and admirers of The Slaver's Rebellion, are in a position to question anyone's sense of decency.

My ancestor served in the North Carolina 7th Regiment of the Confederate Senior Reserves (he was an elderly farmer).
His unit fought at the Battle of Bentonville, and he was listed as among those present at General Joseph Eggleston Johnston's surrender.
