The south haters will be on you like flies on you know. Pointing out the south was getting screwed in the union to epic proportions and could be a cause or partial cause of the civil war will bring out all the public school and yankee freezers.
It happens every time I point out that the North had a HUGE amount of money to lose if the South became independent. People don't want to believe that the war was fought for greed, they prefer to believe a noble lie than an ugly truth.
Especially if their ancestors were on the invading side.
There are no "South haters" on Free Republic, none.
But there are innumerable North haters who put inordinate efforts into telling lies about the Civil War.
And they don't care what lies they tell, just so long as it makes the North look bad and Confederates look noble.
We're only here to keep the historical record straight, regardless of what nonsense North-hating pro-Confederates spread.
