Tired of Carpetbaggers and Yankees Trying to Take my Southern Heritage Away
I am proud of my Southern Heritage and I am tired of carpetbaggers and Yankees trying to take it away from me.
To me the Confederate flag represents bravery, honor and decency, and Confederate Memorial Day is a day to honor my ancestors. I wonder how Abraham Smith would feel if I suggested replacing Martin Luther King Day? I imagine he wouldn’t like it, just like I don’t appreciate his wanting to take away Confederate Memorial Day.
The Truth About the South and The War For Southern Independence.
1.) Not all white Southerners owned slaves, or approved of slavery. (Think about it. Do you really believe that everyone was a rich planter? There were many more small farmers, then rich planters).
2.) The War For Southern Independence was political; one of the key reasons for the war was taxes that benefited the North at the expense of the South.
And yes slavery would have ended without the War for Southern Independence. With the inventions of tractors, and other machinery slavery would have been made obsolete.
Perhaps Abraham Smith and others who would degenerate the South should ponder these questions.
Do they want to get rid of the American Flag? After all it was Yankee Clipper ships flying the American Flag that brought slaves to our shores.
Northerners may have wanted slavery to end (since they were no longer getting rich bringing slaves from Africa to America), but they didn’t want African Americans moving north. In fact President Abraham Lincoln supported sending the African American’s to colonize a country in Central America.
There were Black Slave Owners. Some how the Smith’s of this world always fail to mention that. And it was other African’s who captured the slaves and sold them into slavery. So why are only the white slave owners vilified by Mr. Smith. Shouldn’t the Africans that sold their “brothers” into slavery and the Free Blacks who bought slaves also share the blame?
Perhaps before vilifying Southerners Abraham Smith and Steve Gillespie can actually learn about the real reasons for the War for Southern Independence and the majority of Yankees views on the African American race (which was none to flattering).
