Yet everyone does not agree as of yet that the southern rebels were bad.
That the Confederacy was bad!
Yet it was the southern rebel democrats who formed the KKK, fought to uphold slavery, and then continued that legacy for years upon years to come.
It is this thread even that started the hyberbole by calling President Lincoln a terrorist and praising the man who assinated him.
So it is those who support the premise of this thread that should stop the hyberbole already!!!! They still suffer from Lincoln Derangement Syndrome and still do not get it!
yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
2 sides to every story you know:
Lincoln routinely advocated colonization of blacks out of the country, even asking a delegation of blacks invited to the White House to lead their race OUT of the US. Lincoln was seeking a WHITE mecca for Yankees, and made no bones about it. His Emancipation Proclamation was simply a war measure, designed to cause riots in the South, to cause blacks to rebel and strike down their “evil” Southern masters.
It never happened, even with farms and plantations devoid of military age white men, the blacks remained faithful and protected the majority from Yankees. Check out Booker T. Washington’s position when you have a chance.
“In Saving the Union, I have destroyed the Republic, before me have I the Confederacy which I loathe, but behind me have I the bankers which I fear”. Even in his own words, Lincoln the tyrant admitted he destroyed the voluntary Union of our Forefathers, and instituted an EMPIRE.
What “Union” did he preserve? Certainly not the one our Founders gave to us. We were a voluntary union of co-equal States who created the Federal government to serve them collectively. When one group of states forces another group of States to remain in the compact, they are then no longer co-equal or voluntary members, our Constitution is violated and we are nothing more than an empire. Now, we have a Yankee Empire ruling from Washington.
Some of you seem to think that being anti-Lincoln = being pro-slavery. The opinions are exclusive. Lincoln destroyed State’s Rights and killed anyone who disagreed with him.
