This Just In; Civil War Won by North

Some facts to begin with.

1. The South fought the civil war in order to defend their rights; specifically their percieved right to own other human beings as slaves.

2. The South began the war by attacking Fort Sumter, inflicting a war on the North that caused 360,222 deaths to Northern troops, which also cost the South 258,000.

3. Most confederate soldiers may have been valiant noble men--but they were duped by rich land and slave owners into a war to preserve slavery.

The National Park Service has decided to put a monument at Gettysburg to talk about Slavery, and Pat Buchanan is mad about it. I'm happy about it. I'm tired about hearing about how the war had nothing to do with Slavery. I'm tired of hearing about how the North were the villians in that war. The South began the process of Succession before Lincoln had done anything. The South began the war based on what they thought Lincoln would do. Basically, the only way the north could have acted morally in these little playlets the South has constructed is to basically let the South do what ever it wants. It's like a child who throws a tantrum, and afterwards blames the parent for pushing her over the edge.

After the war, the south initially acted as if nothing had happened, some tried to hold on to their slaves, and they enacted laws to ensure the former slaves keep their "proper place." The North imposed some Democratic principles, which held during the period known as reconstruction. They did such horrible things to the South as letting the Blacks vote. So the South began a reign of terror against Blacks and Southern Republicans (both born in the South and transplanted) that involved arson, murder, and terrorism, as referenced last week.
