The North went to war to both end slavery and preserve the Union.

The South went to war to preserve the institution of chattel slavery. The South, btw, also started the war.

Sorry that your talking points are so easy to demolish, but you're not that smart so it's fitting.

Wrong. They knew in 1860 that the other European nations had dropped slavery. The handwriting was on the wall.



There was a strong abolitionist movement in the US as well.

It is claimed in the book "A Concise Chronicle History of the African-American People Experience in America" that the Republican Party wanted to achieve the gradual extinction of slavery by market forces, but Southern leaders blocked it. Why the South didn't listen to the abolition movement in the US is one reason why I think the slaveowners would not have listened to Britain and France in their anti-slavery movement worldwide.

Now get out of your racist talking points and come back to reality. It'll still be here, champ.
If you weren't a grad of the Evelyn Woods Sped Redding Scool, you would know that I am not promoting any kind of racist agenda - in fact the exact opposite is true.

But you obviously, with wild hair growing in your arse, want to pursue war with the 'it was about slavery' revisionists. Have at it and good luck.

It still won't impair the fundamental point I am promoting: construing what Kelly said as some veiled, overt, or otherwise communicated promotion of racism or slavery is patently absurd.

You want to be pals, fine. You don't, GFY.

General Kelly is definitely /ourguy/.

I can't wait to see GOP cucks turn on him the more based he gets.

Kelly was wrong. We saw him as the great white hope for a while.

Then why didn't the North end slavery in the North before the Civil War? Why did it take so long to end slavery after the War?

You constantly preach from your high horse after being proven wrong time after time.
Typical liberal douche.

As usual you are as full of shite as a Christmas turkey. Maybe you should read Lincoln’s first inaugural address.

“Apprehension seems to exist among the people of the Southern States, that by the accession of a Republican Administration, their property, and their peace, and personal security, are to be endangered. There has never been any reasonable cause for such apprehension. Indeed, the most ample evidence to the contrary has all the while existed, and been open to their inspection. It is found in nearly all the published speeches of him who now addresses you. I do but quote from one of those speeches when I declare that "I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so." Those who nominated and elected me did so with full knowledge that I had made this, and many similar declarations, and had never recanted them. And more than this, they placed in the platform, for my acceptance, and as a law to themselves, and to me, the clear and emphatic resolution which I now read:

Resolved, That the maintenance inviolate of the rights of the States, and especially the right of each State to order and control its own domestic institutions according to its own judgment exclusively, is essential to that balance of power on which the perfection and endurance of our political fabric depend; and we denounce the lawless invasion by armed force of the soil of any State or Territory, no matter what pretext, as among the gravest of crimes."

He is racist because of the racist he supports. That goes for many of you too.

Kelly is 100% correct in his statements

As a military man he actually understands the details and nuances of American war history unlike the Un American prog filth
