[Text Drivers are Killers]

This is preposterous lying from liberals

1. There were 4 UNION states (ky md de mo) that lincoln let practice slavery throughout the war. 300,000 black slaves combined in those states

2. There were many UNION generals that were slave owners throughout the war. Grant himself owned a slave and his wife owned a bunch of them.

3. When the war started Lincoln asked slave-owner Robert E Lee to be commander of all UNION troops

nov 17 2018 Texas’ 5.4 million students will be taught that slavery played a “central role” in the Civil War, according to reports.

The Texas Board of Education voted Friday to make the change, which goes into effect beginning in the 2019-2020 school year, NPR reported

Students were being taught that there were three causes for the Civil War: sectionalism, states’ rights and slavery.

The board’s Democrats favored listing slavery as the only cause.

Yeah. It was. To the death as it turned out. Wish you'da been there. Maybe you'll get your wish for a second.

So explain why

1. There were 4 UNION states (ky md de mo) that lincoln let practice slavery throughout the war. 300,000 black slaves combined in those states

2. There were many UNION generals that were slave owners throughout the war. Grant himself owned a slave and his wife owned a bunch of them.

3. When the war started Lincoln asked slave-owner Robert E Lee to be commander of all UNION troops

3. When the war started Lincoln asked slave-owner Robert E Lee to be commander of all UNION troops

1. Slavery was a central cause of the War, and any who say 'no' can be dismissed outright.

2. Lincoln was able to keep those states in the union despite slavery. He would have done the same for the other slave states as well as long as they (1) recognized federal law in the South; (2) federal property in the South; and (3) did not take their slaves into the Territories.

3. Grant never owned a slave; to say he did is to be wrong. His wife did own slaves.

4. General Scott offered command of the Union armies to Lee, not Lincoln.

5. Slavery was the root cause for the symptoms of sectionalism and states' rights.

Why do you always sound like, your mother was going for a mechanical bull world record, during her third trimester with you?

How did he "let" them. It was constitutional and he had no authority to stop it.

 

[tsuke]

i actually do hate this. Once you say "slavery" the mind just turns off and repeats that as the cause of the civil war. It removes all opportunity for critical thinking such as economic issues, foreign policy issues, etc etc.

Mississippi Declaration of Secession, 1861

In the momentous step which our State has taken of dissolving its connection with the government of which we so long formed a part, it is but just that we should declare the prominent reasons which have induced our course.

Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin.

Without slavery there would have been no war

Very true, but the issues are interrelated. States' rights is what allowed states to choose to adopt slavery and its expansion in the new states. That does not mean slavery was not the prime issue, it is simply not that simplistic to say it is the only issue.

lets say there were no slaves only white farmers picking the cotton. There may have still been a war when the north insisted on placing tariffs on Europe to help their industries grow at the expense of the south who relied on the european cotton markets. The north would literally have destroyed the south economically slaves or no.

 

[Irish Exit]

One of my brothers thought it was called the Silver War and spent a good bit of his childhood thinking they were fighting over money. Ironically, he wasn't as far off the mark on the latter as one would think.

Wasn't the only issue,but the issue that made the war inevitable

Stupid fuck.

1. Those 4 states chose not to secede. The rest, in their secession declarations, all cited slavery.

2. So fucking what?

3. So fucking what?

You demonstrate your ignorance with every post, racist pigfucker.

Yeah, for the South, the "economic issue" was slavery.

You can do your fantasy "let's say" bullshit all day. It just isn't true, is it? Your "may have" doesn't cut it either.
