Walsh is also putting out civil rights era ones too.

He's putting in the work.

Fact of the matter is if you replace slaves with more modern Ag equipment the south would still have succeeded and the north still would go to war to stop it. Slaves just happen to be the wheel that turned the agrarian economy in the south at that time.

Lincoln was a unconstitutional tyrant who liked to get pegged. He should be remembered as fondly as LBJ.

If the Southern planter class could not expand their holdings in land, they did not see much of a reason to cooperate even with the Corwin Amendment in place


The tariffs of 1832 were at 50% for incoming trade which was the lifeblood of the Southern economy. European travelers wrote of the deep economic depression in the South as being "visible everywhere."

Things like that aren't ever forgotten nor forgiven especially when the North enjoyed great prosperity at the clear expense of the South.

Kinda like the whole societal issue of plantation homes, statues, reparations for slavery. All part of stuff that happened 150 years ago.

What’s the point? I’m sure he just argues over semantics about how it was actually not about slavery blah blah when we all know it was.

Then you have the cornerstone speech from the VP of the Confederacy stating slavery is a cornerstone of southern society due to black people being the inferior race. Oh and he gave this speech two weeks before Sumter was fired upon. Walsh is just on some lost cause bullshite as usual

Lol, the word "slavery" appears 35 times in Georgia's articles of secession.

I recall a recent discussion in the PT where someone asserted it was fought over state’s rights, but the guy couldn’t admit what the specific right in question was.

Thats why societies have need for things like the Innocence Project. Sometimes good folks get the short end of the blame stick

On top of that why was slavery enshrined in the confederate constitution if it was about state rights? Shouldn’t they have the ability to choose if it’s legal or not. Again it’s a farce, the war was is and always has been about the legality of slavery. I don’t know why yall keep staning for the planters who sent your ancestors to die for their ability to continue to own humans, which by the way suppressed wages for working class white people.

yawn. we’re doing the thing where we take an old shock-jock radio segment (2011), paraphrase it into the creepiest possible sentence, leave out the actual argument, and then call that a direct quote? all of which has anything to do with the OP?

I’ll save everyone the trouble of an hour of boredom:

Robert E Lee had a great battle at Chancellorsville.

The North was also very racist and benefitted from the slave trade.

Secession was possibly legal at the time

Lincoln was a shrewd political figure.


I learned nothing new here. This is a documentary meant for 5th graders and discussed on a 5th grade level.

pivot.

You posted what appears to be a TYT/Reddit intentionally manipulative paraphrase as a direct quote. The actual source is an old Media Matters audio/transcript > left-wing commentary clip > Reddit meme. Lazy.

His one on Native Americans is even dumber. According to his research all of them were violent savages and were given a great deal by the US govt to move
