@Torbon8372 "Vietnam"

What support did they receive that was anywhere near the technological equivalency of the US?

"supplied the Afghans"

One of the 'supplies'? Donkeys. HOW COULD THEY LOSE?!? DONKEYS FTW!!!!!

"Confederacy was all on its own"

Where was the CSS Alabama made? Which one of the other nations mentioned received a top-of-the-line ship? Too bad the CSA didn't just trade it for Donkeys, amirite?

There is no other historical example of a defender, with so much, lose so completely.

@Torbon8372 "Those 'cowards' inflicted..."

And they still surrendered, like cowards.

"bunch of farmers"

Yes, if only the CSA had a general or two.

"superior manpower took over"

Superior martial abilities & superior morality took over.

The US vs GB, Finn vs USSR, Afgans vs USSR, Vietnam vs France, China & the US...all of them had far worse positions. Yet they kept the sovereignty the immoral cowardly traitors never earned.

The only flag the CSA ever flew correctly was the white flag.

@festdir,

No argument there.

@MegaAstrodude "Grant was either a slave owner...."

Grant freed the slave willed to him in 1859, & far more pertanent, he didn't commit treason in order to protect the institution of slavery.

The CSA were immoral, treasonous cowards.....and that statement isn't tricky at all.

[MegaAstrodude]

@festdir,

It's a tricky question, but Grant basically owned slaves because of the laws governing women's property rights awarded control of her slaves to him, although this law was being challenged. His wife nominally owned the slaves, but the rights to use the property were given to the husband under the law at that time usually. Either way, Grant was either a slave-owner or a direct user of slave labor. He favored gradual elimination of slavery and was not an immediate abolitionist.

Folks forget that back then there wasn't an income tax. The only way the federal government could get taxes was by placing a levy on imported goods. Most of the ports were in the South.  If I remember correctly it was New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, I'm not sure about Baltimore. The remaining ports were Southern, such as New Orleans, Mobile, Pensacola, and Charleston. The federal government had to invade the Confederate States or it simply couldn't function.

@fork1964 Apart from the textile industry, the North wasn't receiving any agricultural revenue from the South. There has never been any tax on exports of cotton or anything else. The North's agricultural produce was feeding Mississippi and much of Tennessee before the war broke out. After secession and the war came, Northern textile mills were still able to run on cotton purchased from Egypt and India and not surprisingly, food shortages began to plague the South.

@fork1964 Not true. Grant freed that slave in 1859. Sherman never owned any slaves, and the UK had soured on the Confederacy by 1864. And the South never recruited any black units until three weeks before the war ended--and to show their trust, they trained in the Richmond prison yard, and were led by prison wardens and MPs. Talk about bogus information--which SCV "fact sheet" did this malarkey come from?

@fork1964 "In my opinion"

Thanks for sharing your fucking feelings, Nancy.

Can't tell you how interesting it is.
