Whats funny is that the north supported slavery by buying slave made southern products. Today,we buy cheaply made products made in China by child or slave labor! Yet those same people complaining that there families were slaves in America 500 years ago gladly buy these products without a second thought... Talk about BS

Guess nothing as changed and if we dont stop this "system" we will all be slaves in the future!

@KayBeeEee1983 Those are not my words! Its the words of blacks and stupid idiots who call themselves historians these days... I only wrote what was said!

Slavery is as old as mankind and everyone was a slave at one point in time! IMO blacks and their white bitches apologizing for something that happened before we were born and that happened to us in the past as well (but nobody apologizes for that), is retarded and total brainwashing to make us feel white guilt!

2.17.  Tha'ts more like Inverness Scotland. Liverpool is about 400 miles south, in England.

@Skin828 In other words, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Civil war reenactors do nothing to educate, they hide behind that nonsense. Their playtime takes the sting out of that war. Their grown men playing army. A pioneer day is fine, or even a Redcoat battle, the civil war is as stupid as a train ride to Auswitz by grown men playing -choo-choo

Buying products from China and slavery are a idiots argument. We dont control or know what goes on in China. That war is always about ending slavery as the South had no rights when they agreed it was ok to own a human being. The north was 200 years late, every man in the US owed their life to right the wrong. That thing that makes slavery lives on, arrogance and money over human lives is alive and well

Not about slavery you fools!

@Skin828 True, the immigrants saw serving in the Army as a good way to prove their loyalty--the Irish were particularly hated by the natives, as you said--and some of those guys did join the Fenian league with the intention of using their combat experience gained in the war to fight the English later! I wouldn't go so far as to say they won the war singlehandedly, but many of their units were very good, particularly the Irish Brigade that served with the Army of the Potomac.

@galoon The Irish came off the boats starving and were left to starve in the ghettos! The only way to make a serious living was being a soldier, somewhat payed to support their families and at least fed... Basically the Irish won the war...

[Skin828]

@galoon They were not slaves like the blacks but economic slaves. There were volunteers but most Irish and Germans only supported the Union not to be left out, since they were hated by the native Anglo-Americans about just as much as asians and blacks!

Not to mention that Ireland was under British rule with a famine... It would have been better for the Irish to organize and fight the Brits! Then maybe Ireland would have been free and the Union would have definitely lost the civil-war!

@Skin828 The vast majority of Irish and Germans volunteered for the Army, often as soon as they got off the boats. They'd seen disunion in Europe, especially the Germans, and didn't want to see it in America. At the same time, the Irish weren't enthusiastic about freeing the blacks, who'd compete with them for the lowest-paying jobs. 300,000 Irishmen and 100,000 Germans served in the U.S. Army during the war. They weren't slaves; their employers couldn't sell their wives and children.
