STATE’S RIGHTS!!!
—right to do what?
Own slaves……
One can also look at, in no particular order:
- The declarations of secession from each state who issued one, wherein they said why they were seceding. It should not come as a surprise slavery was mentioned… a lot.
- The CSA constitution, which forbade any state from banning slavery, and noted that no newly admitted state could be a non-slave state.
- The existence of West Virginia, who seceded from the state of Virginia (a CSA member) because they had no slaves owing to how poor they were, and thus no reason to fight to keep it. This display of states rights made the CSA big mad and they tried to take WV back over a few times during the war.
West Virginia was so cool before the modern day. Now instead of anti-slavery and miner agitation, it’s Confederate flags and corporate simping.
Which I find ironic because of all the coal miner disputes including the Battle of Blair Mountain where workers had an actual fight with guns against the owner’s lackeys and it got so bad that the fucking president had to send in troops.
And the entire state was shaped by the New Deal tree planting efforts.
Second place confederate looks like a microwaved Halloween mask and still believes that looks should determine the social hierarchy?
Looks suspiciously like the banjo kid from Deliverance. “master race” lol
At least that kid had talent, this degenerate hid from the sun his whole life and still looks like a melted candle.
At least that kid had talent
I hate to rip on Deliverance kid, but he wasn’t actually playing that banjo. There was a real banjo player concealed behind him with just his hands on the instrument showing.
“we extract labor from people by means of torture, and God told us to make a place where we can do that forever”
But that’s not what he really meant!
/s
It’s about history (as long as you omit all the historical records contradicting me).
