A note: I lived in the South for ten years. I enjoyed my four years in Charlottesville, three years in Knoxville, and three years in Spartanburg. The vast majority of whites in the South do not buy Confederate heritage claptrap.

The irony of the iconoclasts' pledge to make "swords into plowshares". That has already been done, as literally evidenced by the Arlington Confederate Monument, so says Brion McClanahan, at the Abbeville Blog:

Untrue. The largest slave owner in Delaware was a pro-Lincoln Republican. The most prominent pro-Southern figures in DE did not own slaves, James Bayard and Thomas Bayard foremost among them. But Lincoln and the Reps considered those States to be "Union" States, thus the "North"

It’s insane because it was a fake essay written by Northern propagandists to dupe dipshits, er Yankees.

An address to the people of the free states by the President of the Southern Confederacy.

This is one of the most insane things I’ve ever read. In response to the Emancipation Proclamation, the Confederacy announced that they would immediately enslave not only all *free Blacks* in the South but would do the same to any *free Blacks* they captured *in the North.* 1/

In June 1822, Denmark Vesey was arrested for plotting to lead a slave rebellion in Charleston, SC. Vesey was a "free man of color" and had for years built a prominent carpentry business in Charleston. He recruited several slaves to help, and had a well planned organization and

No one calls you a "presentist" for calling Confederates "traitors". That is an emotivist statement rather than a historical fact. You are a "presentist" because you foist modern social constructs onto historical events and people without understanding or context, like this post.

Yes. 60 percent of the Untied States considered Lincoln to be unfit for the presidency in 1860. Those numbers would have been higher in 1864 had the South still be part of the United States. Lincoln and his Republican thugs had 30K NORTHERN civilians arrested and imprisoned
