And yet here you are. It isn’t just that you haven’t a single clue what you’re talking about - it’s that you so completely revel in your ignorance.

[MountainWalker]

Yes, here I am talking to some yokel on the internet who thinks he has a property claim to anything he’s ever touched, just like a good little Democrat.

[rockrr]

No, here I am talking to a dimwitted dhimmicrat who feeeeeels that anything that ain’t nailed down is good for the taking. Thieving curs like you are what set our nation on fire - but don’t worry - I’ve got a good hold on my wallet.

[MountainWalker]

Not nailed down = any square inch of dirt within the 50 states or any thin dime confiscated by the IRS. But tell me you, you’re a rock ribbed Republican, yessiree.

In round numbers all international trade south and east of the Blue Ridge went through the port of Charleston SC.
It was huge.
The depredation they suffered in the war was clearly foreseeable, and the benefits they would have during and after it by siding with the British. If Charleston COULD have gone Loyalist it would have, and so would most all that depended upon the port.
On reflection I can see my explanation for Britain continuing the bone-headed manumission policy: no one could later believe a promise from them to protect slavery after that.

Protecting slavery may have been a preeminant reason for war to SC but not to any of the other colonies.

jmacusa: " I was born and raised in the northeastern New Jersey town of Kearny."

I was also born in NE NJ, now live in PA but have lived, worked or traveled in nearly every state and have relatives scattered all across the country, about half in the South.
Today my Southern born mother lies in PA beside my PA born father, both patiently waiting the day of resurrection.

From all I know that pro-Confederates who post their Civil War lies here do not represent a majority, but rather just the last of the old Southern Democrats, the Dixiecrats.
They hate old Republicans and new Democrats equally, and it just frosts them that nobody today is buying their nonsense.

But we do take them seriously, especially since some may well be my in-laws, and we want to keep peace in the family.

‘’the Dixiecrats’. I've have called out a number of them here many times. I've told them that I find odd that people who ostensibly call themselves conservatives come here venerating a bunch of Dixiecrats. My two sisters and my Dad now live in Pa, out near Allentown. Be well Joe.
