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
>Northeastern states, fearing a labor drain, were opposed to the quick and cheap sale of public lands in the West, and southern states — in order to check the power of the North — aligned themselves with the western states that favored such sales to entice settlers.
Homer Caret Hockett, The Political and Social Growth of the American People, 1492 to 1865 (Macmillan, 3rd Edition, 1940), 571.
The war was fought to keep the south from industrializing. It was fought to keep the cotton flowing to northern textile mills. It was fought to keep the south dependent on northern steel. It had nothing to do with slavery.
This is especially obvious when you see that every 70 or so years the US government (the north) comes back through and destroys everything again. 70 years after the Civil war, the the US government created the TVA and use it and the Corps of Engineers to flood all of the fertile bottom land and force everyone to try and grow their crops on the rocky hill tops. "Corn don't grow on ol' Rocky Top."
70 years after the new deal you had mass immigration starting with Regan and it never stopped since. Chicken processors popped up all over the south and instead of hiring locals, they imported illegals by the bus load. Now Spanish is the spoken language in southern elementary schools. Soon that will be middle schools and high schools. Hispanics are already the largest population under 15, and the march of time will make them the largest populations at every other age group too.
So yeah, the north won, and every white man lost.
