By obsessing on Southern slavery, which admittedly had its failings, the Yankees shift focus from the brutal mistreatment of their so-called “free” white Northern workers, depicted in all its horror in Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle.

Without Yankees trying to incite race war, the South could have ended slavery peacefully–as did so many other countries during the 19th century. But that was not to be as the North launched an illegal, immoral and unprovoked invasion of the South.

The oppression imposed by that war lingers to this day, with Northern economic domination of the South, judicial tyranny, and a Northern liberal media and entertainment complex that viciously mocks and ridicules Southerners.

Another example of your ignorance, Dan, is that the Scots are talking about rising again. If you bother to read the news you will find that Scottish independence could be a reality within a few years. I certainly understand how they feel.

People like “dan” seem to think they have a right to utilize someone else’s platform to spew their own views. Here’s a novel concept: put your own money and your own work and your own time into your own web site. If you have a valid point, then people will read it.

Stop acting like a spoiled child when you don’t get your way. “You know I’m right, and you can’t deal with it.” Please grow up – then perhaps we can have a discussion. (I really need to look up that rule somewhere that says a person must be at least 13 years of age before participating on a web site.)

Apparently I am expected to provide a “coherent refutation” to his opinions. That brings to mind a 12-year old wanting someone else to do his homework and then getting upset when the reply is “No”. There is ample material freely available; do your own research. Here’s a good place to start – http://www.confederatecolonel.com/book-reprints/. Most of these are original books and documents from the time period rather than Yankee rewritten “analysis”.

Confederate Colonel has a very specific purpose, and it is not to provide a debate platform.

Redneck — North was fighting to prevent the *spread* of slavery. Either you have zero knowledge of your own history, or you are hoping that I do. Either way, epic fail.

Also, I’ve never heard the Scots or the Native Americans rambling, delusionally, that “Aberdeen will rise again” or “Sitting Bull shall lead us to victory soon”. Scotland may not love England, but they’ve made peace with reality.

Oh, wait, those did happen? Well, dang–maybe now you’ll have to drop the race-card and come up with a real argument.

–P.S. It’s been 150 years. You lost. Get over it. Seriously, what other culture in the world still can’t deal with a defeat that occurred a century and a half ago?–
Scots, Irish, Native Americans….

Here’s a deal for you. We’ll “get over it” when you yankees quit honoring terrorists who bravely made war by stealing food from children, murdering people at random, and raping women. We’ll “get over it,” when you quit slandering the people who stood and fought for their freedom against your war of tribute. We’ll “get over it” when you remove the bloated tentacles of the all-powerful federal government that began its campaign of oppression with Lincoln’s defeat of the last safeguard of the Constitution.

Until then, don’t tell us to “get over it”–because as long as you’re still advancing and supporting the crime, it’s clear that YOU haven’t gotten over it.

I approved this one just to remind folks that there really are people who think like this. They really believe this stuff. They really believe that somehow whichever side wins a military conflict is automatically “the good guys” and those they defeated have some sort of twisted moral obligation to join their tormenters and embrace the evil. They believe that we have some secret longing to “own black people”. They truly believe that slavery “was the only freedom the North was infringing upon.” They believe that The South was (and is) populated by such a wicked, evil people that unlike every other country in the world, it required a devastating war that laid waste to the land and the people for the sole purpose of “freeing the slaves.”

Pay attention, my fellow Southerners. These people really exist – and as seen by what is currently in Washington, DC – they vote. The destruction of the country founded in 1776 began in earnest in 1865, and is now in the last stage of terminal rot.

Lord Acton was right.

Oh, right, to own black people. That was the only freedom the North was infringing upon. But you already knew that, didn’t you?

P.S. It’s been 150 years. You lost. Get over it. Seriously, what other culture in the world still can’t deal with a defeat that occurred a century and a half ago?

Amen. You may be interested in this from Val tonight.

Sebasta has a request:)
