"I pity the poor Yankee bastards, who died so far from home."

If I had to give my life for my homeland, I pray I'd be close to it when I fell.

i'm not racist, and i dont understand why some people are, but i'm pro southern, they stood up agenset big government, to preserve a way of life that a pro northern government was tring to ruin. and if there is another civil war it will not be a black VS white. it will be a Rich VS Poor, when the economy colapsed every one lost money except for the top 1/10 of 1% they increased the money 50% during that time...nice to know, take the blind fold off and see who's running the country

[althesmith]

@dierks33 : Your neat analysis ignores two facts- first, the Southern "way of life" was largely built around the ownership of other humans, and second, a heckuva lot of Southerners fought on the Federal side and against the Cotton aristocracy- David Farragut and George Thomas as examples of senior officers, and much of what is now West Virginia, and eastern Tennessee and a large part of Kentucky, Missouri and Arkansas had no love for the Confederacy. (please, no "No True Scotsman" arguments.)

All of the changes in Government before the war, favored the South. Dred Scott basically said there was no such thing as a Free State, a slave in Alabama was a slave anywhere in the North. One of the big complaints mentioned as a reason to secede by South Carolina was the fact the individual Northern States refused to acknowledge the FEDERAL Fugitive Slave Act. Those Northern states were exercising their State's Rights, weren't they?

@dierks33 what really bugs me is i am under the 17-20k range, and with my wife we are right around 20 k and we cant qualify for food stamps, we cant pay the utility bills, and have to pay them with credit cards, its seems the government wont help anyone unless the people are so totally destitute, and by then its too late, cause ill be homeless before they actually help me with food assistance, but i will have no adress to send it to

[UnionStatesHeritage]

@jmoyer92 Since the country is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, those Union soldiers did in fact die on native soil.

[UnionStatesHeritage]

@dierks33 Uh, the South was fighting FOR big government. They used the power of the Federal Government to force slavery on newly formed states in the West, like KS.

Why do you think the Republican Party was founded? To combat that abuse of power.

"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.

Learn some factual history.

[plucknpick]

NOPE, the facts are correct. The majority of the worlds population makes less than a dollar a day. We are so wealthy here that most of our jobs serve the disposable income of the majority of us all....Super size that?

[dierks33]

@plucknpick you need to check your facts sir... 16k and under is considered poverty 17-20k is lower class 30-100k is middle class, over 100k is uperclass and people who make 500k- one million are considered elite, people who make over one million are the 1%

[plucknpick]

@dierks33 YOU ARE the TOP 1% if you live in America....if you make over $20,000 a year your in the top 5% of the worlds wealth. If you make over $30,000 your in the worlds top 1% already. So your saying what?

[TThorne931]

@dierks33 Prefer the Term Loyal True and Blue Patriotic American . Unlike yourself

[dierks33]

@TThorne931 your just a jackass,
