    My favorite part of this argument is how people ignore the Confederate constitution not allowing any state to ban slavery is literally taking away a state's right to decide if they want to allow slavery or not.

    • @culturalconfederacy
      @culturalconfederacy 9 місяців тому +4

      The CSA Constitution didn't ban states from abolishing slavery. All restrictions were placed on its congress, not the states. The states were central to the document. Declaring in its Preamble. that each state was acting in its own sovereign and independent character. Creating a permanent federal government with limited powers. And when it does mention slavery it really is referring to taxes via the back door and contracts of lebor. At the time slavery was taxed- as slaves were considered property. Contracts, just as they are now, were legally binding. Because the illegal slave trade was a major problem, the South set up a system of contractual labor that applied to legally purchased slaves and indentured servants. But it also applied to banks or businesses that engaged in commerce with plantation owners. When the North didn't return runaway slaves or indentured servants, barring slaves and plantation owners from traveling to a particular city or engaging in commerce in Northern states it was seen as an infringement on free enterprise. Where people get confused, is the difference between impairing or denying the right in slave labor or indentured servitude and passing laws abolishing it. Two separate things. Case in point: even though several states abolished slavery and servitude, they did allow plantation owners to stay in their state for a certain period of months. Lemon vs. New York is a good example of this. I'm not defending slavery here, just explaining how the system worked then. The CSA Constitution is layered. So you have to do a lot of cross referencing with other documents to really understand it.

      Incorrect. You'll note a distinct lack of the words "Congress shall pass" at the beginning of *Article I Section 9(4)* _No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed._
      IOW, if they wanted it restricted to congress, they would have specified so.

      Perhaps it used to mean that to certain people back in the 1960s. I know John Wayne simply regarded it as meaning "college-educated whites in charge" when he used the term in a now-infamous interview.
      Personally, I prefer the term "ethno-statism". It's more accurate and more encompassing to the larger problem of racism, not just pro-white racism.

      It wasn't racism. Racism would be believing blacks couldn't be responsible leaders because of their skin color or genetics. Wayne believed they couldn't be responsible leaders _at that point_ because colleges and higher education had only just opened their doors en masse to them. They hadn't had the opportunity for education and therefore, Wayne reasoned, weren't ready for elected leadership. Once blacks started graduating college, so he clarified in that same interview, then they would be "educated to the point of responsibility" and thus Wayne would have no issue with them occupying stations of elected office.
      He wasn't saying they should be barred from holding office, either, just that he personally didn't support what he regarded as not-yet-higher-educated people being put in charge simply because it was trendy.

    I was raised in Louisiana. Around 2004, I was in middle school when we were supposed to go over the Civil War in American history. It was to be a two week long segment of the course.
    When we walked into the classroom on Monday, the teacher - who was actually the coach - was dressed in his confederate reenactment uniform. He told us we wouldn't need our books for the next two weeks, because he knew this part of the curriculum by heart. He told us there would be no tests for the next two weeks, so, we were super into it. We spent two weeks learning about the American Civil War from a man dressed as a confederate general.
    There was not a single mention of slavery in those two weeks. It was taught to us that it was entirely about the southern states fighting for their right to oppose the ruling of the federal government for fair representation in congress and over taxation. So, if you meet arrogant southerners who don't understand why the confederate flag is distasteful, keep in mind what was being taught in public education not that long ago.
    Side note: that same week, the science teacher brought a rifle to school to show us that fluid dynamics proves JFK had to have been shot from the front. Ironically, the test he set up actually supported that the shot could have been from the back, because the gallon of milk he shot actually moved closer to us on the table, proving he had no idea what he was talking about. He played it off saying we couldn't rely on the test results because it normally doesn't do that.

Its entertaining, addicting, informative, and honestly? I can say you've almost certainly helped turn some neo-confederates around.
    Watching Johnny Reb (who I like to think isnt the exact reb from this video specifically lol) go from yet another neo-confederate to a God-honest, well-meaning union boy has been quite a trip. My only real regret is that the last episode did NOT, in fact, end with Johnny Reb debating either the zombie president OR the nazi warlock in a Checkmate Lincolnites style scene where you pull up only the most batshit nazi takes possible, but thats a small price to pay for an otherwise amazing masterpiece.

      Lets forget most "capitalist slave masters" are small start ups and enterprenuers who brings out ideas to share to world as well as bring paying jobs to the market who usually operates with little to no profit for their first few years whilst the worker is payed. Lets forget most businesses didnt get their machines and factories from magic and actually had to invest their own money. Meaning if the business fails its their loss, the worker can just find another job. Is it fair for the business owner to recieve most of the profit if it suceeds as they will bear most of the loss when they failed? If workers dont like the wage they can always find a new job or if they want to have their own business they can also opt for a cooperative.
      Yea socialists are such great environmentalists that they destroyed an entire lake and irradiated a large farmland for generations! If you think today Capitalism is imploding thanks to economic distress how much more socialism, a system that failed in a time of economic prosperity of the 1980's and 1990s would fair?
      And no it wasnt socialism that brought billions out of poverty it was capitalism that gave people work and US domination of the oceans that made trade safe.

That flag is about more than "Muh slavery" & if that's all you see you clearly don't get it. It's a symbol of defiance from the federal government over stepping their legal bounds. Which is precisely WHY there's such a push to demonize it. Saying you're a "proud" southerner but referring to your heritage as a "Black mark" is like you're proud wolf who is ashamed of his teeth. The KKK use it? They also use the American flag & the christian cross. Did you know that the KKK also breadth air? It's true... they do breadth air... maybe we should try living under water? That flag & the civil war is reminder that Americans are a people who will stand their ground despite the odds. It takes a relatively moderate amount of courage to stand up to some one when you know there's a good chance you'll win. It takes a great deal more courage to stand your ground when you know your out gunned, out maned, out numbered & the odds are not in your favor, knowing there's a real chance you won't win, but then to stand any way because you feel like it's the right thing to do. That's not an easy thing to do. The ruling elites? The top 1%... they don't want that. They want a public who are weak & who are cowards because those types are easier to control.

I don't think that's the case. I don't give a damn where you were born. If you all you can see of the confederate dead who gave their last measure of devotion to defend their homes & families... as nothing more than a stain to look down your nose on & more reason to pat your self on the back .... then you ain't no "proud southerner" to me. That's like wolf say'n he's a proud wold but ashamed of his teeth. You do you. I'll do me. As for me ... I'm gonna keep my Rebel flag. You can pat yourself on the back for be'n a toothless wolf & look down your nose all you like. But I'll tell this... you can lick all the boots you like. It won't matter. The south is south.... It is the land that stood their ground. You can be ashamed of that of that cry "Muh slavery" all you like or claim that as your own. Either way... It won't change who I am.

      Seriously, I want to believe that most of the comments are trolls because I simply can’t bring myself to believe that there are people who still believe in this shit 160 years later. These so called “pro-confederate historical geniuses” always talk about how everyone has been led astray and made ignorant to the “real history” of the Civil war (I.e. a history that glorifies the confederate cause and ignores the racism, bigotry, and slavery parts to make the south seem more sympathetic). The truth of the matter is though is that none of them are even able to comprehend the mindset and politics of southern states because they were born in a time long removed from that period of history. The southern states undoubtedly fought for the right to own slaves, but the “geniuses” modern brains refuse to accept that fact because it sounds evil and no one in this day and age could, would, ever do such a thing. Their mindset is really that stupid.

      The CSA was founded with a declaration that it was, in the words of its president, "moved by no interest or passion to invade the rights of others, anxious to cultivate peace and commerce with all nations," and he said less than a year later, "never was there a people whose interests and principles committed them so fully to a peaceful policy as those of the Confederate States. By the character of their productions they are too deeply interested in foreign commerce wantonly to disturb it. War of conquest they cannot wage, because the Constitution of their Confederacy admits of no coerced association. Civil war there cannot be between States held together by their volition only."
