When people say "Yankee" about anything, it confirms they are backwards and potentially retarded.  No different than someone who believes they deserve reparations from slavery.

I have lived all over the US and the only place that talks about the Civil War is the south, often within minutes of conversation.  I live minutes away from Revolutionary War Battlefields and have never mentioned them to anyone, ever.  Neither are part of my identity.

If people only knew that Civil War was the cause of federal government trying to overturn states' rights...in which one of the main reasons was slavery. Much like how the federal government is levying to businesses that the vaccine should be mandatory? We are all not so different on here by that much of a degree in that government should not tell individuals, much less states what to do. Am I right? If I am wrong, then go out and get that booster shot cause lord Fauchi told us to...

While my ancestors had grade school education & worked in mines, they had little knowledge and no participation in the US civil war.

Yankees? Yes.  No dog in the fight known as Civil War.  When children have to quit school in 3rd grade to work—that’s pretty damn close to slavery—so when people ask about “reparations….”

The north had plenty of slaves, of course not in the numbers of the south, until they didn’t need them anymore. They supposedly got some sort of morality….. what they did was figure out a whole new type of slavery.

The whole problem is what was done after the war ended. There was not real plan and typical of the history of America and it’s wars….. win and fuck up the end game.

The growth of the federal monster had been a Democrat project from the beginning, dating back to Jackson's Constitutionally dubious Indian Removal Act. Jackson was outwardly hostile to the growing abolitionist movement in norther states. His protege, Polk, would drag the U.S. into war with Mexico under very flimsy pretenses. Alas, it allowed for an expansion of slavery westward. How convenient.

A chief complaint of the seceding states had been that the federal government did not do enough to crack down in rogue anti-slave states who were harboring escaped slave or harassing slaveowners who wanted to travel there with their "property."

As such the CSA Constitution made a point of preventing its win states from ever doing such a thing.

Finally, with the possible exception of Roosevelt, every major expansion federal power would happen under a Democrat for the next 100 years, Democrats who were supported vigorously throughout the South, especially Wilson, FDR, and Johnson. They all represent a direct ideological lineage to the Confederacy, with Wilson being a particularly staunch "lost cause" advocate.

"I can recall once trying to explain who was a Yankee to a lady from Illinois. When I got through, she said “You are talking about a control freak.” She was right. That’s what a Yankee is. He or she wants to totally control what you think, how you live, what you are allowed to believe, what you are supposed to not believe, what you can or can’t do with your own property, etc. You get the message, I hope. If not you just ain’t been paying attention."

LOL, yeah, ignore what I say pal. Lets ignore the Centralization of power after your beloved war against the states came its is close, right?

Never that those federal powers used "muh Civil Rights" as an excuse to undermine the very real freedoms of the American people, just like "Muh Slavery" was the excuse to infringed upon the rights of the states/people 100 years before that, uh?

Yeah, they changed parties, the Dems thought they could create a welfare voter class, import every manner of 3rd worlder via the Immigration Act of 1965, and they would have all the White Working/Middle Class paying for their own dispossession and they would ride to power for good.

Well they guessed wrong.

Yeah, down side of the two party system, You either have Option A. Vote for one of the two parties, or Option B politics by other means.


Yeah, its not a good place to be, and frankly if we can not retake the GOP and remake it in what it should be, we will scuttle it and make something else, that assumes we even bother to play by a ever increasingly rigged system, and take our states, our countries and go our own way.

None of that matters to the side that loses.  The winner will always paint themselves as the righteous victor.  That is the way it has been throughout all of history.

In my example, we'd go down in history as the vanquished deplorable evil white bigots.
American Southerners are like South African Boers. They lost the war but won the peace for a good chunk during the 20th Century. But, just like with the end of Apartheid, Jim Crow also collapsed.


If course.  Slavery, apartheid, Jim Crow were never sustainable in a modern society.  

Even if the Civil War had not been fought slavery would have ended.  It just would have ended slightly later than it did.  But there is no way we would still have slavery today in the form that it existed then.


I love this one.

At best, it would have ended in the "Confederacy" like it ended in Haiti. At best. Slavery was enshrined in their Constitution and more critical to the wealth of the ruling classes than land itself.


It’s crazy to believe we would still have slavery today.  

You must have slept through how “woke” the world has become.  It simply would not have persisted.


OK. How would it have ended?




Presumably in the same way women got the right to vote.  As a society we advance in such things with time.

Hell, we might be related.  Same exact circumstances for my Dad’s side.

Quoted:
My relatives came to the USA right before WWI & settled in PA coal country.

While my ancestors had grade school education & worked in mines, they had little knowledge and no participation in the US civil war.

Yankees? Yes.  No dog in the fight known as Civil War.  When children have to quit school in 3rd grade to work—that’s pretty damn close to slavery—so when people ask about “reparations….”
