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.

Republicans were and are the anti-slavery party, troll.

@LamontCranston disingenuous and inaccurate argument and I think you're smart enough to know it - at least I hope so

LamontCranston · M

@tindrummer Surely, and Lincoln was really a Democrat.
Democrats still favor a system of blacks on the plantation of welfare dependence.

@LamontCranston We need an I am so confused by your answer that I don't know where to begin emoji.

tindrummer · M

@LamontCranston never mind - I should have known better

LamontCranston · M

@Justme22 Stay confused OR do some research. Don't listen to troll (the poster) however.
Or tin ear.

@trollslayer All that MSCCP koolaid you've apparently been guzzling?

BohemianBabe · M

@LamontCranston I have no doubt that Republicans would legalize slavery today if they could.

LamontCranston · M

@BohemianBabe You have no doubt about many crazy things, Boo. You yourself are a walking disinformation machine.

BohemianBabe · M

@LamontCranston No, u

OggggO · 36-40, M

@BohemianBabe It's already legal and they use it quite often, they just call it prison-labor instead of being honest about it.

BohemianBabe · M

@OggggO True. The private prison industry is legal slavery.

LamontCranston · M

@BohemianBabe Boo, you are incapable of anything but woke irrationalism. You never learn.

BohemianBabe · M

@LamontCranston What does "woke" mean?

LamontCranston · M

@BohemianBabe Research it, Boo. Spend some time on it.Llearn. Instead of spouting puerile nonsense as you do. I'm too busy making sure my martini is properly dry to engage with a child leftie.

BohemianBabe · M

@LamontCranston Sounds very woke of you.

LamontCranston · M

@BohemianBabe Very unlikely. Foppish perhaps.

LamontCranston · M

@Graylight Always nice to hear from the Disinformation Czarina.

Graylight · 51-55, F

@LamontCranston Yes, that's me, using facts and actual evidence from reality to spread disinformation everywhere.

LamontCranston · M

@Graylight Actually from prejudice, deceit and misunderstanding, ms graylight

Graylight · 51-55, F

@LamontCranston Prove any part of that.
