A well researched and hard-hitting video about confederacy romanticism in the South. I already knew most of what was presented based on my own research but was surprised to learn new interesting details. EXCELLENT VIDEO for those who love the truth!

So what does it say?
I’d actually like to talk about getting restitution for the 80 ish slaves our family was forced to divest. I think I’m owed a lot, accounting for inflation.

What if I don't really give a shite about any of that but just think the aesthetics of neat old statues beats that of empty gashed pedestals?

or...maybe the erection of those monuments correspond with the 50, 75, and 100th anniversaries of major civil war battles...
Nah, that's crazy. It could only be rooted in racism inherent in every white citizen south of the Mason-Dixon line. It can't possibly have anything to do with honoring the military service of their forefathers or overcoming the struggles rendered by the oppression experienced during Reconstruction when Confederate veterans and government employees were barred from public service and even lost all their voting rights...after being drafted...so literally every white southerner had no right to vote for over 20 YEARS!!!!
Nope, those people were just racists. No other possible reasons for their monument building.

I still think it's funny that people say it was all about states right's and not slavery, yet the main state's right at issue was slavery.
Lol

where is the history about 30,000 free slaves fighting for the south?
or what about how 95% of Confederate soldiers didn’t even own a slave?
or the part where there were black slave owners, which meant some blacks were in the top 1% of the time?
or the part where you find out each slave cost around 20 grand in our money today and how they just had to let what they invested in walk away because the North wanted us to pay for 75% of the federal government in a nicer way?
or the part where some slaves were treated so well that they returned back to the plantations they were put on?

Lol. Hard hitting. It just highlights a well known historical fact regarding the UDC. It's good to get it out there, I suppose, but I also think it's naive to think that the South simply wanted to keep black people enslaved because frick black people. When your whole economic model is agrarian and slaves are the back bone of that model in the same way they had been for millennia, if someone or something threatens to take that backbone out of your economy you're going to be pissed.
If it turned out that slaves couldn't think or feel, but machines could, and the North was using these thinking and feeling machines to run their manufactories, and the South said, "No, you can't do that, it's inhumane," the North would've told them to frick right off. You can't mess with someone's livelihood and not expect bloodshed.
That said, those up in arms about the removal of statues are idiotic unless those statues are in places that actually commemorate battles or significant events in the war. Why do we have monuments to these men in random arse places that they had nothing to do with?

A letter sent by a free Charleston mulatto who moved to New York to his brothers in Charleston in 1857 provides some insight in the thinking of blacks about life as free blacks in the North. He wrote that he did not think he could ever obtain "political equality" in New York, and that the general conclusion there of his people was that "this is not our abiding home".
HMMMM WONDER WHY
