Ky still has the heart and soul of The South in all the little towns scattered across the Common Wealth. No other group of people in the world are as generous and selfless as the people in the Southern States of America.
THANK YOU! I used to live there! AMEN!
Have been watching a lot about pre civil war american politics lately and i have to say patriots of this country have been getting shafted much longer than just a few years. The South WAS American politics. Lincoln was a tyrant and is the reason all of our parents and grandparents have mistrust in Republicans. The Confederacy's government was an even better version of what our founding fathers tried to accomplish in 1776. It was based in jeffersonian philosophy. Small federal government, no national bank, no internal taxes, non interventionist foreign policy, and no corporate subsidies. The civil war had little to do with slavery and all to do with establishing a powerful central government. Sad to say we lost the second revolutionary war friends. Look into what is known as the Jefferson era in american politics for anyone interested. A lot of our problems could be remedied with a return to this philosophy of jefferson. Sorry for the long post i just found all this totally fascinating recently and also tired of hearin "tHe SoUTh iS RaCiMs!"
Edit: To the downvoters, look it up. The only reason slaves were freed was because the north was hoping for a rebellion against the slave owners of the south. Thats quotable from lincoln himself. He imprisoned journalists and speakers for speaking out against him. The 5 living presidents alive during the election actively opposed lincoln.
Ask anybody who has lived years in the north and years in the south and they will tell you, the north is far, Far, FAR more racist. Typical leftists accusing others of being what they are.
Ya apparently northern states wanted to outlaw slavery simply because it gave them a good reason to keep blacks out. When they said they were anti slavery they meant they were anti black. Union army had segregated units based on color. Confederate forces had integrated units where blacks fought with whites and were guaranteed freedom in return for service. 4 million black slaves and 5 million whites in the south at the beginning of the war. If there wasnt some sort of kinship or bond the slaves could have easily taken the south for their own. They didnt. They fought with the confederacy for THEIR country. Their collective country. NYC has been slandering the South before the revolutionary war.
Lincoln is funny because for some things I admire the hell out of him and for some things he was loathsome.
I’ll give him credit for this, his nation, as he saw it, was in a crisis and he didn’t hesitate to lash out and punish journalists, traitors and dissenters instead of just letting them walk all over him.
I’ll give him credit for that.
He saw what needed to be done to save his republic, again, as he saw it, and did whatever was necessary and said to hell with anyone who opposed him.
The people who followed him didn’t dither about optics.
They wanted the job done and wanted more than tough talk. So he went and did it.
Love him or hate him…
He won.
But he didn’t enjoy the theater very much.
I guess you could say he was an efficient tyrant. Also there is much speculation that he won by fraud in the election. Whats sad is for all the shit people give the Confederacy about racism, they actually had a plan to integrate black people into society as equals, though over a longer period of time. Lincoln abolished slavery to try and destroy the relations between black and white in the south and did it in a way that forced black people into poverty and struggle. Illinois for example was a slave free state yet had anti black laws. Free blacks were routinely denied entry to northern states. The Confederate government had intentions of helping black people feel as though once they were freed they weren't just aftermath of slavery, but contributing members to society, Southern society, and wanted them to have equal rights. The north used abolition as a way to spin the narrative of the war to help cover up the fact they attacked the South unprovoked and unwarranted. The Souths cessation from the union was almost identical to the founding fathers leaving Britain because of over taxation. This is why they want to take down all these Confederate statues. They dont want us knowing who and what these people really stood for.
Very cool!
