>as an evil.
Well.... it was.

you can talk

Not even all that evil, just a bunch of wannabe secessionist butthurt traitors who didn't even have the good grace to win and instead live on as the reason the South is still mocked as an inbred swamp.

well they did enslave black people
thats pretty evil

>Well.... it was.
there is no good or evil in the history, IMHO. Yes, even Hitler did nothing wrong... except genocide of the slavs.

They really just wanted their own country with a decentralized government. The Union had slaves for part of the war...

Most of the industry was in the North though. They never had enough munitions towards the end.

if hitler won you wouldnt be alive today

But he didn't win, thus proving that he could do some things right.

So, he was a liberator of Russia. Glory 2 Russian Liberation Army

>people think racism was endemic to the South
>he thinks 90% of the white population in the entire US cared about nignogs and that they didn't just want to fight to save the Union
>he thinks as late as the 1950s-60s, Jewish entertainers weren't still adopting Anglo stage names
How cute.

[I don't post this flag because here you can go to jail for it]

>fighting to save the Union
Pic related fought to save the Union.

Why would a Russian give two fucks about the confederacy

>[I don't post this flag because here you can go to jail for it]

isil? they are not dead yet

90% of abolitionfags were New Englanders. The rest of the country generally didn't care.

Fuck isil, hail [censored]

fugg the yankeee

Black people was ones who enslave black people.

New England and the South have always been mutual enemies since the beginning of the US.

Everything stupid about American warfare is exemplified in ""Pickets charge"".

>no fire and movement, just fire.
>Pre-planned artillary barrages falling on their own men.
>No cavalry for shock action, not fucking shock action at all

In fact a lot of the strategic lessons from the ACW were completely ignored by Yuropoors which led to things like suicide cavalry charges still being carried out in the Franco-Prussian War. The general staffs in Europe had a snob thing where they believed the ACW was just a bunch of brawls between drunken farmers with muskets and there was nothing they could learn from it.

> wanted slavery as a legit economy
How can you support this? This is literally what they stood for

...

We got revenge because Phil Sheridan was invited by Emperor William I as an official foreigner observer during the F-P War and Sheridan said the Prussian handling of cavalry was a joke and "There's really nothing we can learn here."

>They really just wanted their own country with a decentralized government.
Except the Confederacy was even more centralized than the government in Washington...

Dank meme but where is argument

>suicide cavalry charges

Losing half of a small unit to win a battle was smart, at least they didn't spend all day blasting away at each other.

>farmers with muskets

It was, rifles were basically muskets until after the civil war due to black powder.

Tbh, if the union didn't keep running in the beginining of the war, then the south would have won as they learned to fight.

The Napoleonic-style cavalry saber charge was still very much a thing in European military doctrine then; on the whole, European armies had substantially higher amounts of mounted troops than the US Army all the way up to WWI.

The thing is, by the Civil War, rifled muskets had so much more range and accuracy than the old smoothbore musket that you could blast cavalrymen off their saddles long before they'd ever reach you. The few times that cavalry charges against infantry regiments were attempted in the ACW, they usually ended poorly. For example, on the third day of Gettysburg, Judson Kilpatrick ordered a cavalry charge against the Texas Brigade which was repelled with significant casualties.

>Have way more resources than the North
>Lose anyways
They deserve this fate.

>rifled muskets had so much more range and accuracy than the old smoothbore musket

On paper, in real life the black powder would have obscured your vison. It's the same reason why effective combat distance for all handheld weapons today is 100 meters.

>For example, on the third day of Gettysburg, Judson Kilpatrick ordered a cavalry charge against the Texas Brigade which was repelled with significant casualties.

They didn't attempt to even attack, they stood their waving their sabers. Plus everyone knows you shouldn't commit cavalry against an unbroken unit.

>full of niggers
>best

>Dutch '''''''education'''''''
The North had significantly more resources than the South.

Many Union soldiers' diaries and letters from the ACW paint an overall low opinion of the South. They complained about everything from the climate to the poverty and underdeveloped infrastructure compared with their home states to the women being ugly, seedy, and low-class.

huh, I wonder how I got that information and then didn't check it.

The South did however have a significant strategic edge, and it was by no means a war lost from the start.

>The South did however have a significant strategic edge
That being the large geographical area of the Confederacy and the fact that they mostly had home field advantage. Defending is always easier than attacking.

The South also had chronic issues with logistics (most railroads at the time were built in the north) and unity. From the outset of the war, pro-union guerilla forces were fucking shit up in the confederacy and several confederate states tried to secede from the confederacy itself. After the Battle of Gettysburg assured Lincoln a second term in office, the Confederacy was doomed.

The home field advantage was strong with the South, but not really enough to assure a victory outright. Southern leaders depending entirely on King Cotton to win over European powers didn't help either.

Jefferson Davis continually had to contend with extreme secessionists who thought he was too soft and moderate of a leader. Southern newspapers often spent more time trashing him than Lincoln and even giving away troop movements, but Davis refused to censor any papers as a matter of principle.

A lot of disillusionment with JD happened when he introduced conscription in the spring of 1862 and also decreed that all currently serving Confederate soldiers were to remain in the army for the duration of the conflict. He was widely denounced as a dictator and a violator of states rights.

Greece still exists. I am Greek

Governor Joseph Brown of Georgia was a vocal enemy of Davis and a rather extreme states rights supporter; he declared that Georgian regiments were to be commanded only by Georgian officers and the state alone could decided when and where its regiments would be deployed. He notably also stockpiled several thousand pikes in the event of a Union invasion. There is no evidence that any of them were used against Sherman's army during the March to the Sea.

As a final kicker, all Confederate states except South Carolina contributed at least a small number of volunteers to the Union army.

it was the isis of its time
