What is with history revisionists Republicans and the American Civil War?

The southern states seceded because of slavery. Period. There is no other reason. You can read the Declarations of Secession from those states, and they CLEARLY said that it was the issue of slavery that drove them to this. Mississippi even goes so far as to say that African Slaves are the only ones adapted to work in their fields.

Revisionist republicans crow on about "states rights". Sure, but the "right" that they were referring to is SLAVERY. That is a basic true fact. So what is the hubbub about removing confederate monuments? I bet most of the cities and towns with these monuments had more confederate monuments than US monuments. Am I right?

Take them all down and put them in museums where they belong.

Did you know Martin luther king jr is a right wing as well? I'm sure you forgot about that.

But why bother thinking about it if you're stuck in the past wasting your time to target anyone that is racist and still crying over the past?

We went through events and it's done. Why is Biden keeps bringing up MAGA extremist? Yea they're scared of Maga increasing to Vote while the Democrats claiming we're extremist.

You know...IF I was your president..I wouldn't bring Racial claims against Republicans since we all know that our party started it years and years ago. The KKK was created by Democrats. I would be talking concerns about the economy what Biden created.

I would take a different approach instead of calling anyone Racist is the most stupidest attempt by the Dems. End of discussion.

@trollslayer I've already destroyed your Topic since the way you respond. Looks like I failed you but I guess it's the new norm. Nothing will help

He very much was not.

@FreestyleArt MLK was Republican, but hardly "right wing". Back then both parties had their conservative and liberal camps. Republican was not "right wing" and democrat was not "left wing." MLK was republican, because during his time the south was dominated by right wing, racist, democrats.

@OggggO Yes, MLK very much was a Republican. Do you really think tearing down a few statues can change known history? Fortunately, few are buying the attempted cover up and false narrative.

@Indieoriginal I didn't say he wasn't a Republican, I said he wasn't right-wing.
