Go frick yourself, a-hole. These men fought for the Liberty that the Constitution is supposed to enshrine.

no, they went to war to ensure slavery survived.

No, they went to war to ensure that the federal government couldn’t dictate to the states. Which is why some 150 years later, we expect, and some apparently even enjoy being bent over by the federal government. Are you enjoying that 21 trillion in debt, that your children, and their children will be slaves to? You sure can’t blame those soldiers you want to piss on for it.

What will your's say?
You’re being a drama queen and looking to be offended when no one is mocking these soldiers or anything. If people asking questions or offering different ideas on what’s best makes you this mad you may need to grow thicker skin.

If this is true, why did the confederacy have an amendment that prohibited states from abolishing slavery. Doesn’t sound very states rights to me.
With that said I hold no ill will to the average soldiers that fought for the confederacy. That is just what you did and obviously average joes weren’t fighting for slaveholding rights since only the rich owned them.
The whole war, from the north and the south, was a classic case of “rich man’s war, poor man’s fight”

Why wouldn’t they? The US Constitution explicitly says all powers not granted the federal government in that document, are reserved to the states, or to the people. Then the federal government decided to take some of that power, and dictate to the states.

Right. They didn't want the federal government to tell them they couldn't have slaves.

Yep. Or set the speed limit at 55 in their state. Or force their state to take foreign refugees. Or tell their state how the schools in their state are to be ran, and what they can teach. I can go on all night.

You’re seriously equating this to enslaving an entire race based on said raise all in the name of states rights?

Did I say I was equating them? I’m saying that per the Constitution, the federal government has no power over any of these, and a million other issues that they now dictate to the states as a matter of course. It is explicitly unconstitutional, and the Civil War was the beginning of the end for constitutional restraint of the federal government. Which is why all of us, our children, and our children’s children, are now slaves to the federal government.

I owe the deceased no respect or loyalty whatsoever, they did nothing for me or my ancestors.
Why the hell does LaGrange give a shite now? Let them Rest In Peace undisturbed in their watery graves.

If he were living today, and the war just ended, he would be brought up on charges of crimes against humanity had he pulled the shite he did back then today. No question in my mind about that.

lol ridiculous. Sherman's march wasn't murdering civilians they were wrecking infrastructure. Russians and Germans did far worse on the eastern front of WW2.

You guys hang up on Confederate slavery, and ignore the fact that the results of that war birthed a behemoth that has enslaved us all. If the 21 trillion in debt doesn’t tell you that you are in fact a slave, google up unfunded mandates. If you have a brain, you’ll realize we are all Kunta Kinte.

Check this bootlicker out

Unfortunately people like you have a very limited understanding of such a complicated time, but are always the loudest when speaking about it.
Tell us more about how servitude to ones government is patriotic.
