Why can't people from up North just admit that we won the Civil War?

[Anonymous]

Let's look at the facts. John Wilkes Booth was not some random guy who sympathized with the South. He was a Confederate Secret Service agent. After he shot Abe Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, a Democrat from North Carolina took office. We also assassinated the Secretary of War.

Johnson vetoed everything the Republican congress sent his way. Meanwhile, in the South, we were busy exploiting a loophole in the 13th amendment that gave no protection to criminals. We also took over the media to ensure that the public viewed blacks as criminals.

All we had to do was make it basically illegal for blacks to integrate into society, in order to keep slavery legal. In addition, we Confederate soldier monuments and Confederate flags everywhere, to reinforce the fact that we were victorious to both ourselves and the slaves.

Black people were enslaved up until the 1960s.

So, in summary we confused the enemy, killed their leader, took over the Nation, won without fighting, and kept slavery legal for 100 more years.

Since BigDog1989 feels it appropriate to block while getting the last word in, here is the retort:

A few Jewish leaders had the Romans crucify another Jewish guy for preaching love thy neighbor because they were too pussy to do it themselves. Them ALL Jews at the time got blamed for it and their denomination fractured. Their leadership decentralized and Christianity split off and spread like wildfire decimating Jewish numbers. That forced Jews into valuing literacy as a diaspora because they weren’t allowed in other professions because they bitched. Christianity espoused charity and forbade lending while Jewish scripture allows them to lend on interest to gentiles. However, they make exceptions to themselves and don’t charge interest because they are “god’s chosen people”, conceited. Then, because of the market problem created by Christians forbidding lending, Jews could and DID charge high rates on loans, pissing people the fuck off. They did this over and over again nation after nation. Continually pissing people off. This is where all the stereotypes came from. It’s too bad so many of them paid the price for the actions of a few. Minding their own business? Hardly. Sad fact is Jews fired across the bow first and created their own problems for thousands of years. Not wise to kill a guy for telling people to be kind.

This AI bot is kind of dumb. This isn’t in direct response to OP’s question, it’s to another thread below.

Because in the 1860's, you were on the right track, whereas today, your only objective is, apparently to destroy the entire country.

You should have told that to the Yankees, who literally came down here on a high horse. Or, do you think it's cool that they burned our houses and towns because they didn't believe in slavery? And that they have caused 150 years of racial strife in this country? We were fine before they stuck their noses in our business.

I love how Americans bang on about stuff from hundreds of years ago like it was yesterday.

It took them a while to realize that they were under our control. This article is from 2021: www.npr.org/.../virginia-ready-to-remove-massive-robert-e-lee-statue-following-a-year-of-lawsuit

You do know slavery has long since been before the civil war.

My people, Jews, have been persecuted for thousands of years. White or black

Just simply for what believe

Get off your high horse dude

It was for more than what they believed. It very much was because of their actions. Getting off your high horse is wildly apt here.

@love_conquers_lust It was always for what we believe, not what we do. We don't do anything. We mind our own business, while christians fuck things up
