    North vs. South again soon? This time the South will win, since they’ll have the US military.

      The Feds manage the supply lines for everything. Even if Texas got all the tanks, they’d barely make it to the border with on hand fuel and parts.

      Not nearly enough thanks to fucking Johnson. They should’ve been left afraid to take a piss again without the North’s permission. Fuck the traitor’s pride they were allowed to evangelize.

        Johnson, yes, but a lot more blame should be put on Samuel Tilden, who managed to leverage threats of another uprising to get Republicans to withdraw troops after the narrow 1876 Presidential election.

        Should have let the freedmen take over the plantations forced lavor camps as their own property and hanger every slave owner and send anyone else on their own trail of tears.

        They were traitors. They should have all been executed

    Setting aside the massive amount of racism of the Confedercy, why are southerens so focused on the treasonous side of a civil war?

    It’s the racism isn’t it.

      Always has been. The flag they fly wasn’t even the Confederate States flag, but a made up amalgamation resurrected in 1948 by the Dixiecrats to opposed Civil Rights. All modern bullshit about the Confederacy is rooted in some post reconstruction era racist asshole trying to bring back the Confederacy for some other racist ass motivations.

      Never trust any racist ass inbred fuckwit when they say, “Heritage not hate” because that flag is solely based on hate. So was the confederacy for that matter. Now excuse me while I got back to writing petitions to get Confederate statues replaced with statues of John Brown.

        Even the idea that it’s your heritage… I’m sorry, I thought your heritage was being an American. It’s been nearly 250 years since the country was formed, including many of the states of the confederacy. Even the youngest state that seceded, Texas, has been in the union for 180 years. It was a part of the union for over 15 years before seceding for 4, too, almost 4 times as long. But no? It’s the 4 years that matter most? The 4 year period where the racist slavers seceded because they wanted to make sure they could continue to own humans as livestock and deny rights, freedoms and even basic human decency to people for the color of their skin or their genetic ancestry? Where they fought and died to protect THAT institution and way of life? That’s your heritage? … well, ok, then. But that sounds pretty fucking racist, doesn’t it?

    These hicks have contributed, influenced or affected so little of benefit, they need to give themselves medals when they came second on a two players race to feel they somehow matter.

    It’s so sad if it wasn’t for the fact the whole “heritage” is defending the right to own and abuse people.

      It was four fucking years and most of that was a war that left your major cities in flames. It’s crazy that I don’t consider high school my heritage but these fuckin nitwits can’t let go of 4 years like a 150 years ago.

        I’ve met some people that very much consider their four years in high school to define them and to be their “heritage”. Many of them then try to vicariously live through their kids in often the very same high school.

        I have a feeling the Venn diagram overlaps quite a bit…

    Imagine celebrating something 150+ years later that lasted ~4 years, was a total failure and, at least as of right now, the biggest blemish on American History.

      The confederacy are the most widely celebrated giant losers of all time, and it isn’t even close.

      There are more monuments commemorating their failure than there are commemorating most successes

        You can thank Wilson for most of those. He also used the presidency to re-found the KKK. He also was one of the authors of the Lost Cause Southern Revisionist BS.
