My direct paternal ancestor great*3 grandfather fought and died for the confederacy as a volunteer. He did not own slaves.
He did not fight for the rights of wealthy men to own slaves. He fought for the same reason his neighbor's fought - yankees were in the South as aggressors, . There's a good chance the man never even met a slave; as I said, he didn't own one and nor did any of his relatives. I am not racist.
He was a simple farmer with a young family. I've honored him by giving my son his name and am proud to know my son's namesake fought for his brothers and community as any capable man should do.
It is with no malice towards anyone that I am proud of my ancestor and his confederacy and I will not disgrace my blood because you get assblasted about ridiculous shit like a flag
Fuck you and fuck yankees and fuck traitor lincoln
Nice story, when the 2nd civil war happens, make sure you teach your kid how to blow some Union brains out of their noggings.
Carter Myers
Louisiana here, same deal. Great great grandfather fought in the war, told stories to my great grandfather, whom told some to me. From What he said, alot of condeferates didn't give a fuck about slaves, it was more of a political/nationalism (or... Statism??) problem

The civil war wasn't about slavery...well it was but not in the way most think. There were two distinct economies in America the southern agrarian one and the northern industrial one. Lincoln took it upon himself to decide that industrialization was the favored type of slavery and it never really worked out for We The People except for about 30 years from 1945-1975. The civil war was a bankers coup.
Kayden Garcia

Ian Miller
Notice how it's always trailer trash poverty-ridden dumbfucks that support the Confederacy.
Cameron Williams
>waaaaah he's right so imma call him retarded instead Literally seceded because of of the end of slavery and the election of Lincoln. And sperged out, like whiny fucking bitches, because union assets were still over the line.
Luis James
I live in Syracuse NY. I was born and raised in Saratoga NY. If I had no TV, no internet, and only a once weekly newspaper for information and one morning I looked up and my barn and crops were burning I too would get a gun a shoot the motherfuckers. You are a red blooded pussy if you think any other choice is the right thing to do.

You wanna talk about incest? Ok. >Noticeably, many Arab countries display some of the highest rates of consanguineous marriages in the world ranging around 20-50% of all marriages, and specifically favoring first cousin marriages with average rates of about 20-30% reproductive-health-journal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1742-4755-6-17

Also, educated at college level in American civil war. Can you say the same?
Parker Bennett
Why wait when he can target practice on melons.
Hunter Gutierrez
Literally seceded because the industrial north was trying to seize the reins of power from the south who were the most influential in the federal government.and had been since the republics inception.
Xavier Hill
How is the feeling now? The northern states forgave the south for its treason and let them back in the US or what happened? Seems so long time ago so there cant really be a reason to be angry anymore. Then again, Koreans and Chinese are still angry for what Japanese government did 70 years ago.

lincoln supported liberia and jews owned the majority of slaves
Noah Martin
Didn't mean to get you upset m8
Hunter Gutierrez
>Lincoln supported Liberia This, and because you south fags sperged out, we're stuck with a bunch of niggers instead of most of them being back in Africa.
Jose Perez
More on this since inbreeding is always brought up in relation to this.
Sebastian Reyes
31 ancestors fought for the Confederate States. Two of them survived.
You were more literally more likely to survive as a Jew under Hitler than you were to survive Lincoln in my my family.
Chase Mitchell

I intend to finish what they started if the opportunity presents itself.

There is a general dislike between us, with the Northerners looking down on us for being poor and uneducated and us looking down on them for being rude/smug all the damn time, but its nothing serious.
Jason Morgan
>I am not a racist Who is? What does racist/racism mean? It's just vague, elastically defined newspeak. A political contraption that implies immorailty in people who are not immoral towards the ends of achieving globalism. Jesus Christ, nice guy even if you don't believe he is God, would have been classed as a racist for his answer to the slave woman who begged for healing - he said he'd been sent to deliver the Jews first, then he relented and said even (foreign) dogs may feed from what falls from the masters tables and healed her. YOU ARE A RACIST if you are a normal moral human being, so am I and 99% of people - it's just the word has been engineered as part of our constant programming to mean something that isn't real. Here is a racist picture that isn't racist...
Evan Miller
Oh, and the whole "forgave the south" part no longer applies, because while the Northerner of ages past were able to let bygones be bygones, the newer breeds has taken delight in mocking us and acting moraly superior in an effort to stroke their own egos, much like we all do with the whole "Back To Back World War Champs" thing.
Ryder Rodriguez
>implying the Yankee has ever not mocked us and acting morally superior in an effort to stroke his own egos
Let me introduce you to a book that will put misconception to rest.
The Yankee has been and will always be a self-righteous parasite.

You wonder why the South resents Yankees? It's a constant reminder of how the North destroyed their way of life and did fuck all to fix it afterward.
Xavier Foster
Social and behavioural science?
Austin Lopez
Shut up faggot, this war was fought over slavery. The confederates were too lazy and stubborn to adapt to the way of life of the north and fought so wealthy people would keep their slaves they didn't want their economy to change youtube.com/watch?v=pcy7qV-BGF4

See how your argument devolved into name calling once you ran out of 10th grade history class memories?

Noah Garcia
Slave States and Non-Slave states were never going to be able to co-exist on the same continent; both trying to export their own particular brand of culture Westward.
It had to be resolved.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. The Civil War was not about Slavery. It was about two elites fighting over control of Westward Expansion and the lands West of Missouri.
The Southern Elites lost.
How do we know that's true? Because the North was more than willing to kick former slaves to the curb and end reconstruction in the 1870s. Once they had what they wanted.
A defeated South and total control of the continent.
