Do you libtards know that the civil war had nothing to do with slavery and lincoln didn't care about freeing blacks???

It was all an afterthought, here are some quotes from lincoln, " “I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races,.....I have said a hundred times, and I have now no inclination to take it back, that I believe there is no right, and ought to be no inclination in the people of the free States to enter into the slave States, and interfere with the question of slavery at all.....A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved. I do not expect the house to fall. But I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward, till it shall become lawful in all the States, old as well as new — North as well as South...................... I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races -- that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I, as much as any other man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.

nice paragraph btw its been 150 years you can get over it

Lincoln didn't really care about freeing blacks, but the Civil War very much was about slavery. It's blatantly obvious from the Confederate Constitution and quotes from Confederate leadership.

"Our new government is founded upon exactly [this] idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth." - Alexander Stephens, Vice President of the CSA.

Tell that to the libtards trying to ban the confed flag, and remove the statues of the confed commanders.

umm the civil war had everything to do with slavery

it was the main reason the confederate states was formed because they believed it was their constitutional right to have slaves, and the south's economy was primarily on raw materials processed by black slaves. Abraham Lincoln may have not seen blacks as equal to whites, but that doesn't mean the war had nothing to do with slavery

WHITE POWER
Everyone else is a monkey.
All inventions were made by white people, including books.
Imagine a world without books.
We invented America, git out of out country!

The confederate flag is a symbol of treason. People who fly it should be sentenced to death by firing squad.

Slave ownership was on the decline I the south, most farmers didn't own slaves and their marginal value was rapidly decreasing.

You can argue that the masses were controlled by rich land owners to fight the war, but that's more difficult to prove.

You do know you support this garbage because it was force fed into your brain by your retard parents who were force fed it by their retard parents etc.....

You only believe your retard beliefs because you were taught by retards. Think about that for a minute. If your brain has the capacity to think that much

I think that's a bit harsh.
Spay, neuter and release would work just as well.

What is not difficult to prove is that slavery was the prime motivator for the formation of the Confederacy. Whether it was naturally in decline or not is a moot point: it existed and they wanted it to continue existing.

In order to believe that the Civil War had nothing to do with slavery, you'd have to believe that there's a vast conspiracy among historians to falsify the events leading up the war.

How many times did Jefferson Davis mention slavery in his speech on succession?

avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/csa_m042961.asp

Answer: lots. It was a fundamental cause of succession, and the Civil War.

Most states did not mention the reason for succession, but four states specifically mentioned slavery.

"fight'n fer mah rahts"
Yeah, the right to own slaves.

Im pretty sure the only suthern flag that matters is the white one they used to surrender.

How's that surrender going. 150 years later and you still cry over spilt cow shit

Which group of retards were you addressing, user-kun?

Every single retard who flies that flag.

Huge exports such as cotton, tobacco and hemp were all processed by slaves, so it's fair to say the economy of the south was largely dependent on slavery.

And yes the value of slaves was decreasing, that's why the north wanted to end it, not so much because they loved niggers. But while the north was focused on industrializing and joining the modern world, the south was predominantly dependent on agriculture with money flowing through their assortment of piece of shit towns. So when the north decided they wanted the south to modernize, the backwards subhuman inhabitants who occupied the south could not comprehend an economy other than having niggers play in the dirt, so the tried to form an entire country and were even stupider to attack the ages more advanced north.

Ultimately the south lost because they were economically and ideologically inferior to the north in every way.

This. Go read their declarations of secession, it was very much about slavery to them, not "state's rights"

It was about the states right to keep slavery going

Except that you are dead wrong.

The south seceded because of the north's plan to abolish the slave trade. Yes, the war was primarily to bring the nation back together. But the only reason it wasn't was because of slavery.

You're an idiot, no the idiot south succeeded and thus the warAnd no shit asshole, unlike THAT guy we didn't go to public school

And now we've been acting like everyone in this world is equal and look where that got us. We have a country filled with low IQ brown people with no impulse control that commit crimes and ask for handouts at every turn. Slavery was a huge mistake for the US, simply because we have to deal with all these niggers now.

[about Canada] "No minorities."
"How'd they do that?"
"No slavery."
"God, they're smart."

-Canadian Bacon (1995)

Dont waste your time explaining history to these fucking libtards. They hate history and ignore it.

They still think communism, mass genocide, and socialism worked in the past xDDD hahaha

>fucking idiot liberals

Can I be liberal and not want to ban the CSA flag at the same time?

Not want to ban the CSA flag? Sure.
Not want prohibit governments from displaying the CSA flag using tax-payer dollars? Less sure.

They've been importing the lowest problem minorities by the shipload and now starting to have problems with the aloha snackbars.
