Here’s a lesson. Lincoln was a racist and his own writings clearly point out he did not believe in blacks & whites living together. He incentivized blacks to move out of the country to places like Liberia and the Caribbean. That was not an abnormal opinion back then because most people were racist by today’s standards. It was a different culture.
I have read countless journals and diaries from soldier’s accounts on both sides. Hardly any Southerner stated he was fighting over slavery because most people didn’t even have slaves. You had to be pretty rich. They were fighting because their respective states were invaded. Most Northerner soldiers didn’t give a crap about slavery either. Americans don’t like being told what they can and cannot do and the Democrats of the 1860’s had had enough of being f’d with by the North.
Imagine how we felt when Obama was elected and then Biden. We knew everything we held dear was gonna go to shit. It was the same thing back then. The abolitionists were mostly a bunch of rich woke cucks at that time. Like the modern Libtard, they were the 19th century version of insufferable people. Their hearts were sometimes in the right place but they weren’t going to stick their own necks out to do the fighting. Slavery is pretty f’ing awful, but everything the Republicans did back then had less than desirous consequences for the country as a whole. In the end, it was just another rich man’s banker war and since the victor writes the history books, we have all been duped until we start to dig.
The parties of old don’t represent the parties of today. Lincoln just wanted his Southern tax money so he could finance Northern interests. I am not crapping on you fren. People have been brainwashed by public schools and media. Oh, and the Northern states were the last to free their slaves as well. Virginia was the first to abolish it the South.
Slavery was indeed an issue, but it wasn’t the main one. It was all about maintaining power & getting their tax money. He said, in part, that he would not free the slaves if he could keep the Union together. Lincoln & the Republicans were the woke Left of today. We all saw Biden steal the election but the Republicans straight up stole elections in the South for a decade after the Civil War. They monitored the poles with Northern soldiers and barred many Southerners who served as soldiers or politicians from voting.
Sorry if this post is kinda jumbled up but I get all worked up when I see people praising the Lincoln Republicans of old …and it’s hard to type this while driving.
You are absolutely correct. The civil war was about the North taxing the Southern states unfairly.
very interesting, thank you for posting. I have often thought about trying to locate journals from those who live during this time and reading them. We all can fall pray to believing what is spoon fed to us, it takes work and effort to tease out the past, I really appreciate your post. If we all did this kind of work on our own and selflessly exchanged what we learned they would loose all power to manipulate. - how the heck did you type that while driving?
I was typing at stoplights lol.
I know this thread is not about slavery and more about the forming of the Republican Party but I just felt it was necessary to point out that it was a far different Republican Party back then. While slavery is abhorrent, it was accepted back then across the globe and the US were “small-timers” in the slave game. Slavery would have eventually, but slowly, naturally ended over time. It costs a fortune to house, feed, clothe, and care for your labor force when you could just pay a minimum type wage or scrip. almost everyone who lived back then would be considered a racist today.
There were numerous reasons for secession and it varied from state to state. Read each state’s Ordinace for Secession and you will find they all opposed ending slavery but also felt their state’s interests were not being fairly represented by the Federal government. Sound familiar today? Are your tax dollars being wasted and no one listens to your grievances?
Read a history book written before the Civil Rights era and compare it to today. Ask a grandparent how they were taught about the Civil War. If they remember, they might tell a different story but over time they might have latched onto the alternate history due to media influence.
Because history repeats itself, just step back & put yourself in the shoes of someone who lived in that time and experienced everything first hand. My grandfather told me stories about fighting in World War II. He told me stories that his grandfather told him about fighting in the Civil War and fighting off Comanche attacks on his farm in Texas. He didn’t own any slaves and never cared to. His home, Texas, was being threatened by the Northern invaders and he joined the Confederate Army to protect his land, neighbors, and family from what he perceived as tyranny and physical danger to those he loved.
A number of my ancestors fought in that war. They were from North Carolina, Alabama, mostly Texas, and Illinois and they all had their own reasons just like my great great etc. grandfather fought the British out of the 96th District of South Carolina. It’s mind blowing to me that the Civil War was not really that long ago if my grandfather’s grandfather fought in it. We still have his powder horn on our fireplace.
The big take-away is to try to take everything we have been taught and try to figure out what is true and what is not true. Who is teaching us and why do they want us to learn it their way. Who wrote the books and what is the author’s motivation. Primary sources are the best.
Never look at history they way you want to see it. Look only at the facts even if those facts disappoint you. I was super disappointed to learn Lincoln was trash. He was one of the first Presidents to merge corporate/business interests and state interests in a major way while neglecting half the country. He was taxing the South at a higher rate, especially through tariffs, and spending that money mostly on big Northern cities and railroads and he was in their pocket like Biden is in China/Ukraine’s pockets. I found it interesting that not one Confederate ship imported slaves into the county (slave importation had already been abolished) but interesting to think about.
I was disappointed to learn that there were still slaves in the North after the Civil War for a short time and that slavery was only abolished initially in the South. If the war was about ending slavery, how could this be true? Because what they taught us was all bs. I was disappointed when I learned that Lincoln did want to abolish slavery (a good thing) but had no desire to let blacks integrate amongst whites. Also of note, it was former Northern commanders that led the genocide against the Native Americans. Food for thought. I started digging and realized that we were being fed a lot of misinfo in our public school books. It is not the version of history I wanted to hear but it doesn’t matter if it is true.
After a while, it is easy to put two and two together & see that history is repeating itself. The nation is being divided, albeit in a different way than simple North and South. It’s another banker war coming from WEF types that want to control us so they can live better and retain power.
Don’t take anything I say as gospel. Do your own research and come to your own conclusions fren. 😃
Atm I am currently re-reading “Lone Star: A History of Texas and the Texans” written in approx 1968 by T.R. Fehrenbach which is one of my favorite books on Texas history. It is an excellent history book about Texas since it was first inhabited through the early 20th Century and does go over Texans’ experiences in the pre-Civil War to Reconstruction periods pretty well. Not super detailed, but quite adequate. As far as Civil War era books, I would have to go to my parents house to get the title names because my dad has a lot of old history books from the 1950’s-1960’s but I cannot give you specific title names/authors off the top of my head.
In the meantime, a good audio mix stream, which is approx 3 hrs is, https://dawsontime.com/confederate-memorial-day/
This audio stream is a good start.
I also read a lot of articles from: https://www.abbevilleinstitute.org/
Ryan Dawson covers Civil War content once in a while & brings in his brother Scott. Their online content & videos can be found at: https://www.ancreport.com/ and in the above link “dawsontime.com”
Hope that helps.
well apparently Lincoln bankrupted the country trying to get southern tax dollars. Weird.
Did Lincoln keep anyone who was black from ever advancing? Calling him racist is over the top.
And who writes a letter home saying. Sure glad I'm suffering mom, we gotta keep these slave working ya know
My point is, slave owners were in the minority. Very few owned or could afford slaves. History classes now white-wash the entire Civil War making North good & South bad like it’s only a binary choice. The average combatants had no skin in the game, yet Southerners are constantly vilified.
Lincoln said:
There is a natural disgust in the minds of nearly all white people to the idea of indiscriminate amalgamation of the white and black races ... A separation of the races is the only perfect preventive of amalgamation, but as an immediate separation is impossible, the next best thing is to keep them apart where they are not already together. If white and black people never get together in Kansas, they will never mix blood in Kansas ...
Lincoln said:
In the language of Mr. Jefferson, uttered many years ago, "It is still in our power to direct the process of emancipation, and deportation, peaceably, and in such slow degrees, as that the evil will wear off insensibly; and in their places be, pari passu [on an equal basis], filled up by free white laborers."
Lincoln said:
I have no purpose directly or indirectly to interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.
Lincoln said:
I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races. There is physical difference between the two which, in my judgment, will probably forever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality, and inasmuch as it becomes a necessity that there must be a difference, I, as well as Judge Douglas, am in favor of the race to which I belong having the superior position.
Lincoln said:
Our republican system was meant for a homogeneous people. As long as blacks continue to live with the whites they constitute a threat to the national life. Family life may also collapse and the increase of mixed breed bastards may some day challenge the supremacy of the white man.
Stew on that for a while. Lincoln’s own written words.
When I was a kid we'd go there for a field trip
Amazing tidbit of history. So the Republicans were THE party to end slavery, until the Democrats and Republicans "switched parties," of course.
During the slave era in the USA, the Masters would appoint black overseers over the slaves to keep slaves in line! I wouldn't trust any of the black slave bosses in DC friends! Jus sayin!
