@shallottejim@GeorgeDAndrews2 The bottom line is the South was all for a strong federal government…. It if furthered their interests in owning people as property. The “lost cause” myth is the most toxic lie in U.S. history
@shallottejim@GeorgeDAndrews2 Bad take. The southern states weren’t vehemently states rights when they compelled the conscience of northern citizens through fugitive slave laws. The beginning and end of southern secession was slavery. We as a nation should all be glad to see it gone.
@GeorgeDAndrews2@propjock1 Also, counting deaths of enslaved peoples between 1862-1865 would be the equivalent of arguing that the allied advances between 1942-1945 killed 6 million Jews
@billysesesh@stvbln@GeorgeDAndrews2 Anti-racism is a moral position. You stated that racism is scientifically viable. Explain your position. It appears that we go to the chestnut of your support for the confederacy
@billysesesh@stvbln@GeorgeDAndrews2 The South was a part of the Union and defending states rights to maintain slavery. Not at all beside the point.
Modern Ukraine is not Russian…
The CSA were tragically misguided Americans. I would wager you’re an American citizen.
@billysesesh@stvbln@GeorgeDAndrews2 How is that totalitarian, to argue that there is a moral imperative to ensure the rights of all Americans and prevent a return to the racial hierarchies that haunt our past
