I do not watch Duck Dynasty either

Every non-slavery issue which people try to insinuate as a cause of the war can be traced back to the issue of slavery.

Let's face it, in the 1700s the United States had allowed an institution already under attack by most of Western Civilization to become ingrained in our Southern economic system. By the middle of the next century Republicans came to the conclusion that owning other human beings would not be good for an expanding industrial society.
Their very first President, Lincoln, was too much for the South to handle. Like Obama is too much for the Tea Party to handle, but the situation was much more poloarized in the 1860s of course.

Brought to you by the TIP network. (Truth In Posting)...I guess I can take a leaf from the enemy's playbook lol.



back to my Russian horror fantasy novel

I tend to think that you only lend credence to the revisionists of your liking.

And by all means, enjoy your fantasy novel!!!

Another classic example of the liberal open mind...open only to their existing viewpoints.

The Civil War ~ The Union Sealed in Blood
The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation. . . . In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free–honorable alike in what we give, and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best, hope of earth. taken from this page good read

I doubt that that is on any reading list in South Carolina.

Don't know about South Carolina, but in Missouri we're open to hearing BOTH sides of the story.

In South Carolina, they most certainly aren't (the white folks, anyway).

I guess that's one of the best things about the Civil War in Missouri. We pretty much stayed home and murdered one another...other than an occasional side trip to Kansas.

It must not be forgotten that the North invaded and conquered the South, including committing plenty of the crimes that invading armies commit, and causing horrible and unnecessary suffering. THIS is why great numbers of the Southerners came to hate the Yankees, an attitude that still persists in certain degrees in some cases. It certainly is the reason why the South as a people rejected bitterly the North's self-righteous claim to the moral high ground, based on the narrative of the crusade against slavery, and it is why they still reject it. History has been revised as necessary in an attempt to deny the cruel invader any shred of the moral superiority they claimed.

There is always a basis for divisions especialy when the wrong has been done to your own country men.I came across this, I imagine this one war alone divided a lot of familys to this day http://listverse.com/2013/03/17/10-w...-us-civil-war/
