> If you think a bunch of southern poor boy white farmers went to war to preserve slavery for fewer than 1% of the plantations that owned them, you are out of your mind.
Why did hundreds of thousands or millions of poor white boy farmers go to war for their kings and princes in the 30 Years War? Hundred Years War?
Feudal systems get the serfs to fight for 'em.

OK. Do you think Stalin et al, thought it was the moral thing to do to get rid of enemies of the state, permanently?

Feudal systems get the serfs to fight for 'em. The great Tennessee Unionist Parson Brownlow had the Confederate regime figured out when he said:
"We can never live in a Southern Confederacy, and be made hewers of wood and drawers of water for a set of aristocrats"
It's too bad that so many brave men didn't see the wisdom in those words.

This may be getting more off-topic, but highly interesting that members of the Cherokee Nation (REAL Indians, not fake 1/16th-Indian white guys) come to the Pt. Lookout POW memorial services to lay wreaths at the memorial to rebel POWs. I've seen it myself. The people were real, too, not just fakirs like the casino people up in Connecticut.

actually, the battleflag was included in the state flags to commemorate the "Civil War Centennial".

actually the percentage of slave-ownership in BOTH the Union & CSA military forces was about the same (as was the percentage of slave owners, as a percentage of the northern/southern populations).
the percentage of slavers in BOTH regions was about 5-6%.ALSO, one of the "uncomfortable facts" about slavers was that there were MANY Black slave-owners & free Black slave overseers
bet they didn't teach you THAT in school!

"dumbo" forgets that the NORTH had MANY slave-owners too. MANY were "abolitionist leaders", even AFTER Richmond fell. that's called being a HYPOCRITE!
fwiw, MOST northern slaves were SOLD at a profit, rather than freed by their masters. that's another UNcomfortable FACT that the LEFTIST/REVISIONIST DYs don't want you to KNOW.

the best estimate of "unionist sympathy" after 1863 is about 8-10% of the southern population. most of that was "hillbillies" from the "highlands".

and furthermore, lincoln , THE TYRANT, had promised in writing that Ft Sumpter would be abandoned to the CSA. when it was "politically inexpedient" to do that, lincoln (like wee willie klintoon, his twin separated by 150 years) "changed his attitude" & attempted to "re-provision the fort".
the FAULT for a war that KILLED a MILLION Americans is solely lincoln's. lincoln's WAR;lincoln's BLOOD-stained hands.

SORRY, but i'm NOT going to let you get away with that particular LIE.
REVISIONISM is a DAMNyankee heresy of traditional scholarship, which came out of the MOST extreme LEFTIST/SOCIALIST (some would say COMMUNIST) lunatic fringe of northeastern, "poison ivy league", academia.
TRADITIONAL scholars of history are now & have always been either NEUTRAL or PRO-southern.
it's the DAMNyankee HATERS who are the REVISIONISTS & anti-dixie BIGOTS! (like YOU, "ftd".)

LOL,
I have the vocabulary to go further down in the gutter, believe me, but you have put it in the vernacular quite nicely!
Thank you.
