Do you want to share something that will properly acknowledge this event to the public with gravity? Perhaps encourage readers to learn more about an oft-forgotten historical atrocity, particularly during this time of reckoning on the history of racism in this country?
If so, please see this primer on how NOT to commemorate your massacre!
I can’t tell if this is a really badly worded attempt at commemorating the murdered Union soldiers or a straight up neo-Confederate moment. Certainly comes off – shockingly – as the latter.
Word salad seems to be the hallmark of Neo-Confederates.
Every time a racist gets mad when talking about the Civil War you just gotta make your name for it longer and more truthful
Oh, you call it the “War for Southern Independence”? How about the Great Union Victory? The Yankee Triumph? The War of Southern Aggression in Defense of Slavery? The War of What W.E.B. DuBois Called White Southern Moral Cowardice, Fought and Lost by Weak Men and Traitors?
You dont have to suck Yankees off that much lmao its not so black and white
I’m sorry are you upset about something I said concerning the War Where All The Southerners Had Little Dicks And Cried Like Babies When They Got Their Asses Kicked (1861-1865)
Yeah, slave states existed in both sections thoroughly the war, Confeds won most of the battles despite limited resources, northerners now who don’t know history try to make it into an “anti slavery vs pro slavery” thing, which it WASN’T (see Lincoln letter to Horace Greeley long after the war started), Grant LOST battles BADLY in the last year+ but merely retreated south, southerners overwhelmingly fought on the same principles as their fathers had vs Britain (“That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness…”), the tariffs which made the north richer & the south poorer for decades was at least as much of a cause of the war as was the issue of the spread of slavery to the territories, very few abolitionists in the north (name 5!) or those fighting “to defend slavery” in the south (tho there were a few.), etc. But those who don’t know history – especially 160 years after the fact – tend to get their way with their stupid distortions 🤷🏻♂️….oh, well…
If you think I’m going to waste my time trying to understand this nonsensical babble from a porn blog such as yourself you are wrong❤️
Here is hoping he has that chip on his shoulder looked at.
All this does is acknowledge that the secessions were, for the most part, about slavery. This is not sufficient to establish that slavery was the cause of the war.
This is like saying the cause of the Vietnam War was that North Vietnam wanted to unite the north and the south under one communist system; while this is an accurate statement, it does nothing to address the US’s motivation for involvement.
I can’t speak to the individual state declarations or constitutions, but the Constitution of the Confederacy included specific references to slavery and Alexander Stephens’ Cornerstone Speech, describing the basis of the Confederacy, is an explicit defense and promotion of slavery. Anyone arguing that the Civil War was not about slavery, at this point, is willfully and dangerously ignorant
