The Civil War and Slavery........(A video)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcy7qV-BGF4

I think he pretty much nails it right at the beginning;

"Many people don't want to believe...................".

"......WANT to believe.....". Just like they don't WANT to believe that racism still exists today. That somehow pretending it doesn't exist will make it magically disappear. (Cue up the rainbows and unicorns.)

In this video, the attempt is made to claim it was more about "state sovereignty". Still, as the man in the first video asked ...the sovereign right to do what?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=154&v=1FzPIawthDo

You can argue until your tongue wags loose and falls out of your f**king head.

It was ALL about slavery.

Speaking of the Civil War, this one has the goobers and the RW WaPo trolls all stirred up.

Ken Burns has come back to the Civil War (redoing his classic in HD). Here he's talking about it and getting right to the heart of the matter:

I guess we'll keep rehashing it until unreconstructed Confederate patriots and those buying the Lost Cause myth get the historically accurate story.

I believe we HAVE to. The monster isn't dead until the stake has pierced his heart and banished his soul to its eternal damnation. The truth must be absolute and indelible, the evil that was the Confederacy relegated to the dustbins of history-------forever.

I''l look at these tonight, but pumpping out propaganda is not being historically accurate. One has to look at the agenda and or documented facts, if just agenda there will be no documented fact to search.

The articles of secession of each state and the Confederacy state the facts clearly. It was about slavery.
