Hey Team
Back from the Mountains, Need an update on this, this is what I know so far

1. SJWs want to take down Civil War Statue
2. White Lives Matter Protests
3. Commies hordes come to counter protest
4. Fights break out in the street
5. Guy crashes car into crowd, kills one, injures others
6. Police Helo crashes, kills 2
7. Trump spoke out against this crap

What else has happened?
What's the motivation of the guy that crashed the car?
Why did the Helo crash?

How many people in this country you think understands that the Civil War was about States rights and not about slavery alone? I bet 1 out of every 100 know that.

Don't be disingenuous. It was about the states' rights to own slaves.

I'm not. It was about State's rights regardless of the context.

Read the Articles of Secession. Jesus.
The right to own slaves was featured prominently in various articles of secession written by the goddamn states themselves.
We don't have to guess at this shit, clown.

The word slave appears 83 times.
The word tax - once.

This whole revisionist "It was about taxes, or self determination, or blah, blah, blah, derp" shit gets tiresome.
The motherfuckers wrote down why the fuck they were seceding in black and white.
There is no damn debate, there are only people who have read the sources and ignoramuses.

I'm wondering; did the New York legislature, or its federal delegation, really give a shit about whether slavery persisted within the borders of Alabama or South Carolina in 1860?

Seems to me there were more moving parts than just MUH SLAVES, although slavery, as a system of property rights within the borders of Alabama, South Carolina, et al, *was* truly the sine qua non for the succession declarations.

Alternate History question... How long would slavery of lasted until machinery/tech. did it in even without a war?

Interesting point.

I guess it could have slowed tech progress because not as much incentive, but that doesn't strike me as convincing

what do you think?

We can see that it retarded progress. The cotton gin existed for decades before the war.

What part of "regardless of the context" don't you understand?

That's why I posted the Articles of Secession . . . so you could actually read them instead of retreating into mental gymnastics and hyperbole.

The chickens have come home to roost and everyone is like "Why all the chickens?"

This is not the result of slavery. This is the result of Jim Crow and its sanitized version in the north.
