I understand where your coming from, But I still disagree upon the speculation that we would have been better off a divided nation. The thought of inferior and superior races is a world wide phenomenon that goes back to the beginnings of documented human history. No race is exempt from having a history riddled with contempt for the unfamiliar and foreign practices of foreign peoples. Does that mean he was totally given over to evil and all his workings were done with that intent? Your right, secession and revolution do not need to ask permission. The debate of federalism has been waged and debated since the beginning of our founding and I am in no way in favor of an overbearing centralized power. I am in favor of a constitutional Republic that has elected officials who are chosen to act and make decisions based on our best interest. War is inevitable and we elect a commander in chief to step up when it is required to do so. Look at where we are at with fake book and twatter. We are at war and yet they are allowed to operate. Do you not see the destruction that has done? Propaganda is deadly. Who do you think Lincoln imprisoned during war time? If the preservation and protection of innocent life is not worth warring over than what the fuck is? I would be more in favor of throwing your child into the woods after their born than choosing death for them. At least it might have a chance at life. Just because the roots of the clan started off as a veterans good ol boy club does not negate the history of murder, violence and terrorism they are documented doing. You can speculate about the outcome of the civil war and I respect your opinion but my opinion is that regardless of the quotes you mentioned in this article, The actions of Lincoln that led to the preservation of the union was a far better outcome for not only this country but for the world.
This is a very tough topic and is extremely complex. The end of slavery was close at hand, even before the civil war, but the looking backward in time and armchair analysis needs to be thoughtful and tempered. I believe the Civil War was a multifaceted event that had many reasons on both sides. In any context, it is a horrific event in history that we must learn from. There were significant monetary concerns on both sides and this is definitely the primary driver of virtually all wars in history. This war was no different. In downtown Charleston, S.C. there is an old courthouse that is now A museum. In 1850 there is a record book detailing auction prices of slaves. A young strong healthy African male was sold for $1500 in that era. That amount adjusted today would exceed $50k. 95% of Southerners did not own slaves because they were small farms and couldn't afford them. Only 5% of the population owned large plantations and could afford slaves. Slavery was going to die out because importation of new slaves was outlawed in 1807. It truly was only a matter of time. For slavery to die out, but it didn't die out fast enough. The already present descendents were still enslaved and probably wouldn't have been freed for possibly 10-30 years. We will never know, but either way, slavery is an abomination and should never be allowed again. Let's discuss ending the slavery today, that we have changed the name to Human Trafficking. Don't call it Human Trafficking, call it what it is, modern day Slavery.
