"...I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and the black races. There is a physical difference between the two, which, in my judgment, will probably forever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality..."

Lincoln and I have the same birthday (February 12th)

Lee regretted having fought against the USA entirely. He regretted ever having taken a military education. He deliberately stayed out of step while walking in processions. He expressed admiration for his former enemies. Reference Ken Burns' "Civil War" documentary.

Id have to agree with that.

Lincoln on Slavery:
"I have no purpose, directly or indirectly to interfere with the institution of slavery."
--- March 14, 1861
"What I would most desire would be the separation of the white and black races."
--- 7-17-1858, fr. a speech delivered in Springfield, Ill.
"I am not in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, or of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people."
--- September 15, 1858

whether the Civil War was fought over slavery or state rights, it was a completely unnecessary war that should have instead been solved in a far more civilized manner

hellOnLand is youTube's shitler



The Confederacy was cut off from its European markets for indigo, tobacco & cotton. When the South capitulated in 1865 {General Lee later publicly regretted the surrender} federalism was sacrificed for centralism and The United States ceased to be a democratic Republic.

The abomination of chattel slavery remains the natural state of Man. It's of our past, present & future. It's the stuff of legend, sci-fi novels & warfare. Negro slavery in the 18th century entailed a reciprocal relationship between white slavers & African Negro chieftains/kinglets. Those who were sold into bondage and dispatched to America were prisoners & slaves of their native lands. The practice of reducing humans to animal-status is evident in 21st century American pop culture.
