“Their slaves weren’t men or people so of course they couldn’t govern themselves, right?”

“Their” slaves were considered no differently than the slaves in the north...and those that were in the South as states of the Union. Your comment is devoid of logic and has no relevance.

it was the Confederates who fought for the right of their people to govern themselves.

Read again. The poster said that is was the Confederates who fought for the right of their people to govern themselves. And I rightly pointed out that they were hypocrites because they did not consider their slaves worthy of such a lofty goal. My comment is logical and has every relevance to the comment that was made, sorry for you.
