The Difference Between The Civil War and WWII

Perhaps Jefferson Davis should have just used a tampon.

Thing is, by then the Confederacy was finished. Physically destroied, economically ruined, and the flower of Southern chivaliry lied dead and mauled on the battlefields.

... and it all happened because the Confederates were a bunch of weak cowards.

Why didn't they release the slaves? They were afraid of doing hard work. They were afraid of black men due to their sexual insecurity. They thought that "their women" would run away with black men.

Slavery was driven by weakness and cowardice. Meanwhile, Abe Lincoln was tough as nails.

Since no one was good enough to enlighten me as to why the "Rebel" flag is despised by some, I did some preliminary research on my own...
Conclusion: Nasty...

If this is fake news I'd like to know about it, but it seems to me to be definitive...
Woha!

There was an attempt to bring about social changes: it was called Reconstruction. Blacks were allowed to run for - and win - public office, and be appointed to government posts, public education benefited both blacks and whites, and racist terrorist organizations like the KKK were ruthlessly dealt with. Unfortunately, the north was persuaded to end Reconstruction, ending with it empowerment for black Americans, and the rise of the racial caste system - right below the white class system. On top of that, white southerners were able to rewrite the history of the era, making theirs a fight for states rights rather than slavery, and were able to demonize Reconstruction and all involved in it, while making the poor, poor whites victimized and set upon (sound familiar?) Now, that's not to say that every white southerner was guilty of this, as there were heroic figures like Newton Knight who had carried out a non-stop guerilla war within Mississippi against the Confederacy with a band of Confederate deserters and escaped slaves, took part in Reconstruction, and married a black woman and sired mixed race children when such a thing was illegal in Mississippi.
To get a dramatized view of Newton Knight's story, I suggest renting Free State Of Jones.

And your opinion is strengthened by your impartial, emotionally well balanced presentation...

Sounds legit to me. That is the way Southerners did write in those days.

I already knew all that. Thats why I said Permanent social changes.

An interesting parallel between Confederate and Nazi white supremacist attitudes...
No wonder neo-Nazis embraced the KKK...

Your attempts at trolling are actually amusing as hell. Let's have some more!! !

He is not a troll...
"Just a very naughty boy..." as Monty Python would say...
Young and governed by his emotional needs to maintain existential equilibrium/relevance...

As I understand it, there were some rumors about the concentration camps, but nothing even remotely close to the actual events.

To some degree, the Nazis learned the lessons they used in their concentration camps from the Croatians treatment of the Serbs. Things like cremating people while they were alive.

That doesn't actually seem to be a dollar bill.

If you look at closely it seems to be a savings bond, or a war bond. You were supposed to able to collect ten dollars from them "six months after the signing of a peace treaty between the United States and Confederate States of America" ( ie six months after the South wins the war and is recognized as an actual country you will be able to cash this bond in!).

I'm still waitin'!

The Civil War was fought over White supremacy, and nothing else. How do I know this? Because the Confederates themselves explicitly said so. When the Confederate States instigated the Civil War, several of their state legislatures issued documents modeled after the U.S. Declaration of Independence, called “Declarations of Causes”, enumerating their casus belli.
Georgia's mentioned slavery 34 times.
South Carolina's mentioned slavery 17 times.
Texas' mentioned slavery 22 times.
Mississippi's, a study in brevity, mentioned slavery 7 times.

“We hold as undeniable truths that the governments of the various States, and of the confederacy itself, were established exclusively by the white race, for themselves and their posterity; that the African race had no agency in their establishment; that they were rightfully held and regarded as an inferior and dependent race, and in that condition only could their existence in this country be rendered beneficial or tolerable. That in this free government all white men are and of right ought to be entitled to equal civil and political rights; that the servitude of the African race, as existing in these States, is mutually beneficial to both bond and free, and is abundantly authorized and justified by the experience of mankind, and the revealed will of the Almighty Creator, as recognized by all Christian nations...”
The Confederate State of Texas, 2 February 1861

The founding fathers of the Confederacy were absolutely unequivocal; the sole reason for the Civil War was White supremacy, period. This is not 'fake news', but well-documented historical fact. To claim otherwise cannot be ascribed to anything other than willful ignorance or an idiotic preference for fantasy over reality.

I have an open mind about this...
I'm from Oz, so we didn't learn about the American Civil War in school...
But to say "willful ignorance" is patently willful stupidity...
You made a good point...
Don't spoil it with emotional and willful extravaganza...

Did you know that it was actually legal to be a serial rapist in the ole South if you owned the women you were raping? This was actually encouraged because a pregnant slave would fetch $600-$800 more. Now I have a hypothesis that the South is so fkked up because this allowed the mass dissemination of criminal genes from the white masters to their mixed offspring.
