Was the US founded specifically because of slavery and nothing else?


the American flag was not only built on slaves, but used to remove millions of natives off their land.... and carried into battle and massacre long after the Civil War.

The confederate flag is completely offensive and has no place in modern American society

Georgia officials have once again approved a specialty license plate featuring the Confederate battle flag, infuriating civil rights advocates and renewing a debate among those who believe the symbol honors Confederate heritage and those who see it as racially charged.


I have no problem with it being issued as long as a mandatory test is given making the applicant name seven civil war battles which occurred in Georgia along with 5 of the state militias sent into the conflict and two Confederate generals who fought against Sherman during his march to the sea campaign.

I bet more than a half dozen of those jewels would be issued out in six months or more.

It's the history of a region. It's also nothing to be proud of. The racist south was inferior. The racist south lost. Why would anyone be proud of that?

Dunno, but there has been a consensus reached that the rest of the U.S. needs at LEAST 3 years of Texas History.

Why? The rest of the US has decided to give the Texicans back to the Mexicans.

A LOT worse. At least here we can have different opinions presented. Over there you'll here a lot of "let them wave the damn flag" "pussification of America" "damn liberal Yankees trying to ruin our way of life" "liberals are the real racist" ( )
