I often get in arguments with fags who always talk shit about confederate soldiers calling them traitors and pushing for all confederate monuments to be torn down. They justify this with the tired old argument of "but the confederates fought to keep muh precious niggers enslaved, therefore they deserve to be mocked and reviled because slavery bad." I had heard before that the civil war was over state's rights to determine their own destiny instead of being beholden to the federal government in D.C. and that slavery was the least of the cause. What are good counter arguments to these nigger loving confederacy haters ? Any educational links would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
One of the most hotly contested territories in the Civil War, for example, was Missouri. That’s no accident. That was about the cultural and systems differences of North v South, who would control shipping in the Mississippi River, and who would control the access to the West, etc.
There is also the issue of the railroad and how that was going to really play out, and all of this was affected by (((global finance))) as well.
