The guy who got The Civil War most right to me was Ken Burns. A guy lauded by you liberals and is the flagship director of you guy’s most vaunted media outlet, PBS. If you want to actually know anything about the history of the war, you should watch his documentary series on it. It’s very easy to watch. It was a popular hit back when it was first released back in the late 80’s/early 90’s (can’t remember exactly).
Nothing I’ve said above goes anything outside of what he said about the war. And I really just scratch at the surface.
''you liberals'' the fact you equate my not embracing an institution that had a foundation build on human ownership and was traitorous to MY country as being liberal pretty much says it all.
The Civil War was not "treasonous" because at the time the "States" were actually independent countries with their own individual governments united under a federal government for the common defense...a lot like the modern EU. The southern states assumed they had the right to leave (and a lot of northerners agreed). They weren't trying to overthrow and replace the federal government, they just wanted to leave and do their own thing. Lincoln was under tremendous pressure by northern politicians to just let them go, but thankfully he saw it another way. It's also partly why Lincoln make sure that confederate soldiers received full U.S. status after the war. It's also why there are so many Confederate statues in the south...they are technically heroes of an American war, not a rebellious uprising.
You’re so confused at trying to come up with a sensible perspective at this point that you’re making things up out of thin air. No where did I claim you are a liberal because you are against slavery or because you have taken a short sighted opinoin on a historical event a hundred and fifty years ago. I called you a liberal because you’ve made it very clear on the board in the past that you are a liberal.
And I didn’t call you a liberal as an insult. I was trying to point out I was giving you a resource ensconced in your political philosophies that you could actually learn something from.
blah, blah, blah
You're a dead end thinker.
I tried to give you an avenue where you could educate yourself. Rather than seek education, you preferred to blatantly misinterpret and use your fainting couch because someone, rightfully, called you a liberal. I gave you a venue to educate yourself. You were the one who could only see a dead end.
You're so 1860...in the bad way.
