No one believes for a second that you have any contact with people IRL.

TRANSLATION: I'm too fucking ignorant of American History to discuss the Civil War and it's causes so I will just follow other idiot's like the lemming I am.
So you need monuments to the losers in order to know who lost the Civil War?
Don't understand your position; the people you're defending rejected our Constitution. So how can you pretend you love the Constitution while defending monuments to people who fought against it?
You resort to memes because you need other people to do your thinking for you.

It's amazing how you insist on showing your ignorance and stupidity on the subject. If you had any inkling of the reason for the war, I would discuss them but you are locked to this asinine theory you accomplish something by removing statues.

Thank You Jefferson Davis
The reason for the war was slavery, and Conservative Confederates rejected our Constitution and wrote their own.
You want monuments to those people.

They like to sell "States Rights",and claim Slavery didn't have a thing to do with the War of Southern Treason!
And I always say to that; "States' Rights...to do what, specifically? To keep slaves."
"States' Rights" is just a weak attempt at a goalpost shift without admitting the heinous true cause of the Confederacy; white supremacy-backed subjugation of African slaves.

The CSA wanted the God given Freedom to keep a third of their citizens in forced bondage!
"It is very likely that those who stated the war, if they thought in terms of political affiliation at all, had been Democrats."

Read up on a little history before you again (and again, and again...) make an ass of yourself.

You know damn well the Democratic Party had a Northern vs Southern split at that time!
They still do. What's your point?
Back in the 1860's, Conservatives were Democrats.
Then about 100 years later, they switched parties.
You know this, of course.

The Republican party was in it's beginning stages and officially opposed slavery. Slavery has always been backed by Democrats.
"It’s true that many of the first Ku Klux Klan members were Democrats. It’s also true that the early Democratic Party opposed civil rights."
"Democrats dominated Southern politics throughout the Jim Crow Era. It’s fair to say that Democratic governors and legislatures are responsible for creating and upholding white supremacist policies.
Southern Democrats were truly awful."
"These racist Southern Democrats got so mad that their chief goblin, Senator Strom Thurmond, decided to run for President against Truman. They called themselves the Dixiecrats."
"A greater percentage of Congressional Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 than did Democrats."
Read more and learn your history. Once again, you make an ass of yourself.

Exactly. It was Lincoln who is credited for starting the Republican party.
