Would have been cool to be a confederate in South Texas. Get to enjoy all the benefits , no war in your state.

I want to know the history behind those little dots of Confederate resistance that randomly pop up behind enemy lines and get chased around the north for a couple weeks.

There's always somebody with an ignorant opinion that's willing to trumpet it out to everyone.

I think those are the various raids the Confederates completed in the lower Midwest.

You do realize the north had as many white supremacists right?
The proclamation was phrased such because he didn’t have the political capital to blanket free all slaves, and was actually concerned it would cause border states to defect.
While racism was alive and well, and slavery was what brought it all to a head, it wasn’t the core attribute.
For fricks sake, you think Joe Blow farmer joined the confederate Army so that rich fricker can keep his plantation?

It's revealing that you'd call these traitors who tried to destroy the United States "real Americans."

I assume if the Federal government invaded Louisiana and started shooting at your family and friends you would help the Feds?

If people like you would actually read actual history books, you wouldn't make a complete fool of yourself with your ignorance about the causes of the American Civil War on message boards. I know reading non-fiction is probably hard for people like yourself, but you should try it sometime.

That awkward moment that you realize the north was still very much filled to the brim with white supremacist, including dear old Abe, while also realizing that slavery was legal in the north throughout the war with nearly half a million slaves still bound and chained in the north when the war came to an end.
Slavery was legal in the so-called "border" states, who chose to remain in the Union due to Lincoln's very pragmatic approach. He knew if he went too far at that time on the issue of slavery, the border states would have seceded and the Union would have been lost. Slavery was NOT legal in the true northern states, contrary to what you alleged above. They had abolished slavery long before the American Civil War.
As for Lincoln being a "white supremacist," as you call him, well, he was definitely personally opposed to slavery and was totally opposed to the expansion of slavery in the then-extensive federal territories in the West. This, btw, was total anathema to the slave-holding states of the South, and a big reason they voted to secede from the Union when Lincoln won the election of 1860.
Lincoln was a man of his times, like all of us born into a certain period, with all the prejudices that come with that, but for his time, he was pretty enlightened compared to your slavery-loving distant relatives in the South who you seem to be so proud of.

Fun Facts-
The Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in confederate states. After the civil war, slavery was still legal and ongoing in union states for many years.
The term traitor doesn't apply to secessionists. The confederacy wasn't trying to overthrow the government, they were trying to make their own. Read the Declaration of Independence. Just the first paragraph. Anyone who thinks the confederates were traitors need to spend the 4th of July burning the American flag.

Wow, so the south lost by 1862.
Wasted lives after that point.

He was a man of his times and he overcame his personal prejudices that had been ingrained in him at an early age to ultimately sign the Civil Rights Act (which was necessary, sadly, because of the racists in the Deep South who were running things then). And also, just FYI, LBJ never was an advocate of slavery (the act of owning a fellow human being), as your distant relatives in the Deep South were around the time prior to and during the American Civil War.
