Being a grown man wearing a jersey is worse than the cap

You’d have been better off not sharing this stupid arse shite. Should have just kept it to yourself.

But no. Trashy hat. Trashy reasoning.

Wear whatever you want. It's mostly just weird. Why are you so hung up on 1865? And what were your relatives doing in 1965 do you imagine?

Why are people in the south so excited to rep a failed rebellion?

You are essentially supporting losers.

Only if you wore a yankee uniform hat.

The southern one would be racist

And also, if those relatives were so great and so worth celebrating, why not keep pulling it forward and "celebrating" all of them? I'm guessing freak43's ol' baws from the 1950s and 1960s might not have been doing things that were all that celebration-worthy.

"About states rights, not slavery"

The lie southern professors teach.

Maybe you should READ the individual secession documents.

.increasing hostility on the part of the non-slaveholding States to the Institution of Slavery ...

It was about the states' rights to have slavery.

How is this so hard to understand.

fricking Mississippi seceded on the basis of the white man's dominion over slaves, even.

Exactly. Claiming states' rights as the cause outside of simply to protect the institution of slavery is just ignorant and an effort to justify the war by southerners.

I DGAF what anyone wears but you gotta put this logic to bed baw. Yes, it was states rights but one of those state rights the CSA was fighting for was to own slaves.

No, I was saying that it absolutely was about slavery. He's the one clinging to that.

Is it acceptable? You will probably get some looks, but if that is what you want to wear.. Then do it.

I gotcha. I just copied your post because you were the first one to call that out.
