“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.
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.
And your reply demonstrates that the point I made totally went over your head. Those with better comprehension skills understood that I was saying that most Southerners AND Northerners believed “...slaves weren’t men or people..” The poster was trying to establish some kind of Northern moral superiority...but obviously was too ignorant of history to understand that slavery existed in both North and South and that it existed under the Union flag before AND after it existed in the Confederacy. The poster’s preceding sentence that you refer to makes no difference to that fact nor does it have any relevance to my point...as already stated to you. Sorry for you, your comments are now twice as illogical and irrelevant.
