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

Yes, economics. I forget all the details but, the South was selling it's cotton to England but the North needed it to support their factory economy. The South had stripped the fertility from their farm land so they needed to expand into the new states. The North didn't want that bc it would give the South disproportionate power in Congress. England and France jumped in for economic reasons as well

Agreed.

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.
