Fuck you dude. You don't just get to believe what I'd been thinking the whole time now that it's convenient for you. First apologize to me for your original opinions, shithead.

And look: the fact that you just very recently had those problematic opinions does not just mean that you get to be woke within a matter of clicks; you still have a lot of rethinking to do. So shut up. Say you're sorry, SHUT THE FUCK UP, and start listening: the adults are talking, and what we have to say will impact generations to come.

Sherman didn't salt enough of the southern earth.

That's why we will get a round two for our entertainment.

For instance, slavery was used to harvest crops mainly, so this was actually about cotton and crops. The south wanted slaves for their crops, so wasnt this actually about the crops? Really cotton started the war then, because the south wanted to have crops with slave labour.

How have so many historians missed this truly brilliant insight.

Lincoln should have made owning cotton illegal instead.

Based and hemp-pilled

The tyrannical Lincoln wanted to steal muh agricultural implements. This is just like if Obama came to your farm and took off with your shovel and tractor.

I want my plastic made in China CSA Virginia Battle Flag To signal muh heritage. Not keeping humans enslaved for monetary gain!

Heritage in like, a metaphorical way, I’m actually descended from pollacks that came here after the Civil War ended.

These people fucking SUCK. Every single CSA flag wielding wannabe redneck in New Jersey has a lower IQ than any American slave descendent that has ever lived. Deport confederate LARPers to Liberia.

Better idea. Why not give black people guns and let them shoot confederate LARPers? Make it part of "reparations"?

We have people waving around the CSA flag here in Saskatchewan. A local idiot even filed a human rights complain, because the media coverage about the CSA flag was negative and therefore discriminatory. No joke, here in Saskatchewan, in Canada.

Technically the US succeeded from Britain (Canada) and then the Confederacy succeeded from the US, so maybe these Saskatchewanians are just doing 6D mental mahjong and have decided that the enemy of their enemy is their friend.

Gentle reminder that this sub is quickly becoming a right wing circlejerk

No step on snek

It was about ethics in owning people.

It was fought for literally the same reason as most wars. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ That’s not me deflecting about the very real ethical travesty that was slavery. Because slavery was explicitly the reason for the war but the sub text is basically slavery=$$$.
