Does any know if it was figured out exactly what Q was referencing in the below post?

Compare.
Focus on WWI/WWII
Something ALARMING will be discovered.
Its the same with the Civil War. I bought a whole library of books written from the 1860's-1890's. They tell a much different story than the Macmillan/Addison Wesley tripe. Lots of info about Grant selling America in 1871.
The prevailing theme is that the South got sick and tired of being raped out of their wealth, like blue states are doing to red states today. The war was actually triggered when Lincoln tried to seize a warm water port in Louisiana.
The civil asset forfeiture, the indefinite detention of dissidents without cause, all the stuff they are doing to us today........ The South was sick of it.
You know what was barely mentioned? Slavery. That's the new history. The South's only blunder was that they should have freed their slaves and then STILL gone to war. The North KEPT their slaves after the war and after the South gave theirs up. Was never about slavery for even one second. Whereas the North were mostly govt conscripts who would simply go back to their jobs whether they win or lose, the South was a family fighting for its life and Soul.
Reminds me of a quote in the movie Avatar, when the guy says "You always make enemies out of people so you can justify taking their shit".
I've posted this a few times, but its relevant here and thought I'd give it one more go. There's a lot that's squirrelly about Civil War history.

This is meant to backup what you are expressing.
Thanks for that invaluable link, man. I will Johnny Appleseed this info to everyone I know
YW. Glad you find it enlightening. I've posted it several times and it never gets legs. Please get it out to as many as possible.
Definitely! This info is so rare, I almost considered photocopying pages of of some of the old books Im talking about. The info is literally nowhere else....... Maybe the basement of the Smithsonian or buried in Tartaria somewhere, but that's about it.

Very noice! I've archived to my local disk and now its nice to know its archived online.
I agree with everything you said except the blunder. The southern army should have pushed north and burnt DC or Boston or NYC to the ground.
too brutal for the generals, but hindsight is 20/20 and Sherman did it to the south.
They should have burnt all three to the ground
Lincoln had a lot in common with someone like Biden
Cut from the same cloth. We see the gaslighting and attempts at twisting narratives in real-time. Imagine an era without anons to set the record straight as it evolves. For a good portion of my life I believed in the mythical Lincoln as much as I did the mythical MLK.
Imagine the rich industrial north trying to flip the bill to agricultural south too.
Wouldn't have freeing the slaves helped the south mitigate the looming foreign intervention too?
But 100% - at least on the civil war front. Old books focus on all the various factors that led to thr Civil War, while new ones is... slavery... and...... slavery.
Lincoln didn't even want to free the slaves.
Thanks for directions to another rabbit hole. I'm trying to collect winter reading material, so could you list some titles of the books you talked about? I'd like to see if they are available on Project Gutenberg, Archive.org, etc.
