Things like this are the real reason they all want you to hate the Confederacy btw.
They know if we'd won they wouldn't be here or have the power they do now.
Abraham Lincoln repeatedly stated his war was caused by money, and not by slavery at all:
"My policy sought only to collect the Revenue (a 40 % federal sales tax on imports to Southern States under the Morrill Tariff Act of 1861)." reads paragraph 5 of Lincoln's First Message to the U.S. Congress, penned July 4, 1861.
"I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so," Lincoln said in his first inaugural on March 4 of the same year.
Lincoln declared war to collect taxes in his two presidential war proclamations against the Confederate States, on April 15 and 19th, 1861: "Whereas an insurrection against the Government of the United States has broken out and the laws of the United States for the collection of the revenue cannot be effectually executed therein."
Saying the Confederate States of America was founded solely because of slavery is like saying the United States of America was founded solely because of a tax on tea imports.
ACTUALLY I LOVE NORTH CAROLINA. But for all you idiotic morons who intend to vote for Roy Boy Cooper, simply place a sign like this on your front lawn, so all of us common sense, patriotic North Carolinians will know who our deranged neighbors are. If this WOKE, America hating, liberal pandering prick wins his election, the State of North Carolina will become California 2.0. He's just another George Floyd kneeler, while he allowed our wonderful mountain communities to float away in ruin without proper assistance.
I know who mountain folk will be voting for. Its the the city folk who are so blind to reality.
William C. Chase writing of Confederate soldiers--
“To forget these men now, in the strength of a growing family of descendants, is to deny the heritage, and turn from every privilege involved in our very blood and life and honor. Never forget these men, or the cause for which they died. Honor them and their cause as you honor the memory of your ancestors. Hold every act of their courage and sacrifice as a treasure to comfort you in life and transmit to others, that they in turn may tell the glorious story to their children.
Let the centuries sound their names with quickening pride and affection. Raise monuments, universities, memorials, and go on forever building to their memory that you may honor the blood that flows in your veins, coursing down to you from their life-blood, as pure, as brave and as glorious as ever pulsed in a human heart. God bless their memory!”
Roy Cooper is fully aligned with the nut job socialists running the Democrat party.
After emptying prisons, forcing men into girl’s sports, and turning North Carolina into a sanctuary for criminal illegals, he fits right in with the DSA.

Robert E. Lee was a Union man who chose Virginia when Virginia left.
Stonewall Jackson was a Union man who chose Virginia when Virginia left.
Both spent most of their adult lives serving the United States. Both opposed secession. When Virginia left, they chose home.
Would you take up arms against your own family, friends, and neighbors because your state refused to help coerce the seceded states back into the Union?
They wouldn’t.
#Onthisday (8/9/1950) Dwight D. Eisenhower makes a public comment about the greatness of Robert E. Lee. These same words would get you called a "lost causer." Faux historians and activists lie about history. Don't let them.
Republicans were responsible for the rape, pillage and murder of Southerners and “reconstruction.” They are now complicit with Marxists’ efforts toward our cultural genocide. The second “reconstruction” is underway as tens of millions of maga carpetbaggers have moved South, enjoying the fruits of our conservative habits while bashing those who instilled in us those habits.
"...the actual fact on the battlefield, in the face of cannon and musket, was that the Federal troops came as invaders, and the Southern troops stood as defenders of their homes."
(Beauregard cited in Weaver, Richard, The Southern Tradition at Bay (New Rochelle, NY: Arlington House, 1968), 192.)
🇺🇸 On this Fourth of July, while the fireworks light up the Carolina sky, we want to remind you of something that most American history books never quite say loudly enough — North Carolina didn't just participate in the American Revolution. North Carolina led it. From the first organized resistance to British rule in 1765, to the first colony to authorize a vote for independence in April 1776, to the battles that turned the tide of the war in the South, this state's fingerprints are on every page of the document that made America possible.
The Halifax Resolves of April 12, 1776 made North Carolina the first colony in America to formally authorize its delegates to the Continental Congress to vote for independence from Britain — nearly three months before the Declaration was signed in Philadelphia. That resolution did not emerge from a vacuum. It was built on a decade of documented resistance — the forced resignation of Stamp Master William Houston in Wilmington in 1765, the Patriot victory at Moore's Creek Bridge in February 1776 that crushed Loyalist forces and eliminated British plans for North Carolina, and the growing conviction of a people who had governed themselves since as early as 1716 and were no longer willing to accept anything less. Three North Carolinians — William Hooper, Joseph Hewes, and John Penn — signed the Declaration of Independence that July. Their colony had already shown the way.
💬 The revolution did not begin in Boston. It began on the banks of the Cape Fear River, in the mountains above the Yadkin, and on the red clay roads of the Carolina Piedmont — fought by farmers, physicians, frontiersmen, and ordinary people who decided that liberty was worth everything it would cost them. Happy Fourth of July from North Carolina — the First in Freedom state. Drop a comment and tell us what North Carolina's role in American independence means to you — and follow our page because this state's history is as extraordinary as any in the nation, and we will never stop telling it. 🌟🔥
