I love the south but the clinging to a completely failed and moralely flawed loss is a little wierd.
A Little weird?
Its the longest standing melt in american history. It speaks to a mans character if they still uphold the CSA and its institutions as viable and dignified.

CSA and revisionist history is an aspect of MAGA --- they long for yesteryear because the country a they know it is changing and will never ever go back to what it once was.
And thats a good thing.

Yes we have. We lost Korea, Vietnam and have been losing forever in the mideast fighting something that cannot be won.

You still don't get it.
Condescending and grandstanding bullshite like this is why Trump is POTUS and the south will never ever rejoin the democrat party ever again.
They've had enough of your race baiting.

frick you strong safety. I'm messing around little in this thread.
There is nothing more dangerous to this imperfect union than the bullshite that you and your ilk bring in the current political climate.

We're not fighting Syria.
At least not yet. Although the neocons in the west wing, the cabinet and congress are pushing for it like a motherfricker.

The south was wrong but the north is hypocrites. I find it weird you blame Lincoln for winning the war. There was no peaceful resolution. A war had to be fought.

Slavery was going to be obsolete inside of 20 years and technology and industrialization was going to make sure of that. Owning slaves and housing and feeding them was a costly expenditure financially and publicly. It was well on its way out. It was getting to a point where only the truly untouchable rich as shite people could afford slaves.
If the south wasn't as agrarian as it was, it would've ended much sooner than that.

Or in other words, the south would have gotten rid of slavery when it was no longer economically viable.
The fact that morality never plays into the revisionist rhetoric speaks volumes.
Im proud that this country did what it had to to do to stamp out slavery.

Why else do you think Lincoln freed them?
He freed them to attack the south's agrarian economy.

Upvote.

It was so much on its way out that the now tamed Southern States immediately passed "Black Codes" in the aftermath of the war, which codified the lease labor system, a system that stayed in effect up until the early 1900's.
Your viewpoint begs the question as to why the US was so far behind the other major powers of the time, which abolished slavery much earlier and had just as much reason not to, with their vast colonial possessions. The argument is a cop out and is frankly lazy.

Because thats the best that apologizers for the Confederacy can come up with.
Its laughable at this point. I'm as politically red as they come but get labeled a "liberal" when I voice disdain for a group that rebelled to cling to slavery for economic benefit.
