Think Southern Independence--Remember the Brave Rebel Dead

The boastful Yankee War Machine assured the world the Rebels would be conquered in a few weeks. Fierce Rebel defiance lasted many years and cost a million lives.

NamVetBuck, it's not over. Lee only surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia. Many other units in different states just sort of stopped shooting. Several states still have yet to "technically" rejoin the Union, FL being one. The war never ended. We've just been Yankee occupied since 1865. Hopefully this new "change" that Obama is bringing will renew the struggle for States Rights. 20 states so far have declared the 10th Amendment. The South lives on. Deo Vindice.

The North wanted the Confederacy to borrow money and

pay usury and extortion/taxes.

Slavery was not even an issue

The Northern Banksters had wage slaves

since they imported WHITE SLAVES from the

DEBTORS PRISONS of Europe and the orphanages/streets

to get the kids so vulnerable to pedophilia when they were totally

owned by the Master who paid their passage.

The Civil War/Northern Aggression was fought for land and industry not slavery.

No nation rises, stands, or falls without the will of God. Bottom line, God did not will it. Lincoln said it best when he proclaimed "We both prayed for a fast victory and instead were given this long bloody war." Lincoln also believed that this long bloody war was God's judgement upon the nation for tolerating slavery proclaiming "Every drop of blood drawn by the lash is to be repaid with blood drawn by the sword."

@GeorgeFitzhugh The facts speak for themselves. Many slave owners were decent and humane but that obscures the fact that the institution itself was wrong. The political elite in the south was unwilling to compromise and forced a war, largely over slavery, to protect their "states rights".  Not all southerners were happy with slavery or secession and many fought for the Union. Arrogance and ignorance is , I suppose like beauty---in the eye of the beholder.

The Civil War WAS about States Rights but not in the way that some say today. The South attacked the Federals to FORCE them to accept slavery in northern states. Even most of the southern secessionist documents passed by the confederate legislatures says so. IF you disagree I suggest that you search on line to read them yourself before responding. I have. The internet is a wonderful thing to reveal the truth.
