uploaded the paper into Gemini Pro and created a podcast on the paper. Gemini got no input from me other than the paper. It's pretty interesting as the AI gives analysis and opinion on the paper. Check it out.
Ok, that program is pretty cool

Nah. Mostly just chuds.

Conservatve Southern planters knew the cause was hopeless as soon as the radical, fire-eater Democrats seceded from the Union.
The wealthy planters are the ones who put the Democrats in place for the sole reason of Seceding.
They are the ones who wanted secession and pushed for War, because they knew that their industry was threatened by the growing abolitionist support and the election was the confirmation that they were not going to have enough political power to block it.
Once their plan to prevent Lincoln's election failed (his name was omitted on every Southern State's ballot, and he still won) they started the wheels on Secession.

All farmers felt the weight of tariffs. The 40 bales speech made it clear how bad the Yankees were fricking over the South, plantations and yeoman alike.
I can't let this one pass by.
The Merchants of New Orleans were extremely anti secession because they relied on the Federal Government's trade and tariffs for their business.

The idea that the average southern white was sympathetic with the north/aboltionism is one of the most ahistorical things ever stated on this forum, and that is quite a feat.
I never said that they were sympathetic to either.
They were against secession and the Confederacy.

The both of us are going to be down voted for stating a fact and told that we have to look at the underlying nuance instead of taking what was actually said or inked on paper to heart.
Apparently the Confederacy is like Jazz: It's not about what you can hear, you have to listen to the notes that aren't being played to really understand it.

That didn't last long. Eventually they viewed them as liberators, even helped them with scouting reports so they didn't march into ambushes or traps.
Confederate deserters warned Grant about the artillery in Vicksburg and about army movements and positions around Jackson. Then helped Union armies track down and defeat those regimants.
They raided Confederate armories and supply depots, sabotaged supply lines, railroads, and bridges. Acted as Robin hood by taking the taxes collected by the tax authorities and dispersed it back to the locals.
They provided safety and protection from conscription and also provided both to runaway slaves.
It's all in the article linked in the OP. Give it a read.

Oh no, are you trying to give the average O-Ter nightmares? The confederacy was a failed shite hole propped up by cotton, slaves, and arrogance.

In true Kentucky fence riding fashion, my dad's side fought for the South and my mom's for the North.
