It is very true that the Civil War was not just about slavery and that Lincoln freed the slaves for more reasons than just moral ones...but it makes no difference how small the percentage of Hicks that owned slaves was...even 1% was enough to be justified grounds to go to war against a "nation" that allowed human slavery. But Confederates can't complain. They're the ones who started the war by not only owning slaves, but with acts of betrayal and treason. Southerners who were stuck in the past and tradition did not embrace technology and progress...they'd rather stick to their outdated immoral activities with their slavery and religious bull. This is what made them so poor. And have no doubt in your mind, that if the rednecks in the south were not so poor, I gaurantee you that a lot more of them would own slaves, and that is the only reason why there might have been only 6%...I question that though. Racists, such as the ones who made this video, have reputations for not telling the truth, or stretching the truth...or, of telling the truth but telling it in a way to try to acheive an opposite of what would be an appropriate response. For instance, the South were the bad guys in the Civil War. Anyone with half a brain and decent education would know this, and more importantly, understand why. But the producers of this video attempt to explain the war with the view that the North were the bad guys. This is irresponsible and it's a good thing very few people take them seriously...and of the few people that do, they're uneducated anyway and don't mean anything to this country, so all is good.
Joe, I do declare, every time I forget about you, I stumble across another of your comments of pseudo-intellectual, hate-spewing drivel. Thanks for the reality check on how brainwashed and deluded folks like you really are. :-)
The South was right! Deo vindice!
