>If [the Confederates] want eternal war, well and good; we accept the issue, and will dispossess them and put our friends in their place. I know thousands and millions of good people who at simple notice would come to North Alabama and accept the elegant houses and plantations there. If the people of Huntsville think different, let them persist in war three years longer, and then they will not be consulted. Three years ago by a little reflection and patience they could have had a hundred years of peace and prosperity, but they preferred war; very well. Last year they could have saved their slaves, but now it is too late. All the powers of earth cannot restore to them their slaves, any more than their dead grandfathers. Next year their lands will be taken, for in war we can take them, and rightfully, too, and in another year they may beg in vain for their lives. A people who will persevere in war beyond a certain limit ought to know the consequences. Many, many peoples with less pertinacity have been wiped out of national existence.

It wasn't just about slavery damn it. Besides, The Y*nkee tyrants literally told slaves back to their plantations.
>Y*nkee crapping all over the found fathers
Color me surprised.
No-one ever says this.
That's Y*nkee propaganda.
Slaverys were considered an object, the Union saying "give up your slaves" is like today's government demanding we give up our guns.
The Yankees were tyrants and imperialist, Lincoln was a dictator.

It's the truth. More Southerns joined on as the war ragged on because they wanted to put a stop to Yankee aggression.

Actually they had a problem with increasing desertion because I guess people realised the rights of the landowning aristocracy wasn't worth dying over
>Desertion was a major factor for the Confederacy in the last two years of the war. According to Mark A. Weitz Confederate soldiers fought to defend their families, not a nation.[35] He argues that a hegemonic "planter class" brought Georgia into the war with "little support from non-slaveholders" (p. 12), and the ambivalence of non-slaveholders toward secession, he maintains, was the key to understanding desertion. The privations of the home front and camp life, combined with the terror of battle, undermined the weak attachment of southern soldiers to the Confederacy. For Georgian troops, Sherman's march through their home counties triggered the most desertions.
Parker Kelly
Tell the truth for once, you yellow-bellied Yankee coward. We both know it's the truth.

Y*nks are truly subhuman.

There was literally not a single positive form the south getting independence. Only reason you'd want the south to win is if you hate Americans and specifically southerners. Which is why I wish they'd won. Would be fun having a Mexican tier shithole
Andrew Anderson
Washington never envisioned any separatism, the US was created to be eternally united.
Charles Bennett
the slavery issue doesn't actually matter
the confederates were allowed to leave
the y*nks were in the wrong for not leaving the south once the south left the union
why is Lincoln idolised anyway? he failed to free the slaves peacefully and got over a million americans killed in the process. he is unironically the greatest y*nk killer in history

The best part is that the average Cleti didn’t even own a slave and was likely a wagie himself. Imagine actually -oh no no no no- ACTUALLY fighting and dying so that your boss can continue to profit off of something you don’t even own. The absolute fucking STATE.

Ryder Martin
Ironic coming from a Serv, first of all. Secondly, in 1860 the South had produced almost every worthwhile American leader, including Washington.
It's almost like that wasn't why they were fighting or something?
the US wasn't fighting to "improve its economy", it was fighting for Lincoln's ego.
Owen Scott
Why did confederates like slaves? Where they morally bad people or just didn't care about the human cost because it was profitable?
Caleb Rodriguez
>nations in need of help are abandoned to fend for their own
In reality Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Tennessee, all confederate states, receive federal funding well above the national average with Mississippi being the most federally dependent state in the USA, 41% of their budget comes from federal aid.
Owen Diaz
Splendid digits, but fun fact: the Union contained five entire states where slavery was both legal and practiced during the war. Did you also know that the Union conscripted impoverished Irish immigrants as soon as they got off the boat in New York City and sent them off to die? How about the fact that Lincoln was willing to guarantee that the Southern states could keep their slaves if they returned peacefully to the US?
This was not a battle between good and evil, it was a battle between morally questionable 19th century business interests and pigheaded imperialist propagandists who used the "welfare" of people they didn't give a single shit about as an excuse to march armies into a group of states that voluntarily joined their union and then had every right to leave it.
