General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

The reason people believe the Lost Cause Myth is 50% incredible propaganda by the Daughters of the Confederacy, and 50% inability to conceptualize that their ancestors may have been horrible people.

Or they secretly believe in slavery and just don't want to admit it

something like that. people like this generally believe some classes of ppl are lesser than themselves. its a coping mechanism for hating yourself and needing to belong to a "winning" side and having someone "lower" than you is a great way to feel better about yourself

Probably just due to them avtually having to fight for stuff and not being complacent lmao

Picture this. The government says your business is all of the sudden illegal and you lose a ton of money with no compensation. But let's not look at it logically lets just look at 'slavery is bad they were evil'

I like Dak, but a simple search on succession is honestly the easiest way to see another pov. Most arguments can e complicated and require a lot more thinking to see the other sides, but not when it comes down to the reason for the civil war. It's pretty clear and easy to find.

So you're accepting slavery was a main reason now?

So, are you trying to imply slavery isn't bad?

that too (the last part). people's ego are so fragile they cant admit their ancestors believed some fucking garbage shit and for some reason cant wrap their head aroudn the fact that its a lesson to be learned, not some conspiracy or an excuse to paint themselvesa victim

 

[Spitfire]

i mean we all know he is racist

 

[Switchblake]

I feel like northern Republicans and Southern democrats are the best of each party

Being the opposing party has its fun!

 

[Spitfire]

in Dak's perfect world - black people are still slaves let be real now

Ah yes, the business of slavery. Despite Abraham Lincoln never intending to do so. So what made the South rather heroic again?

I never said slavery wasn't the reason the South seceded. I said it wasn't why the North invaded.

the second part seems to be my family, thankfully I've done quite a bit of research on my mom's side and we seem to have been mostly poor outlaws that had no issues running with colored folk...one even shot a sheriff in a locally famous story

The north wouldn't have invaded if the South hadn't really wanted to keep them slaves though.
