"Overall I would rate the withdrawal from Afghanistan as by far the best thing Biden's done" --Starlight
"Of course, human life begins at fertilization that’s not the argument." --Tassman

Originally posted by shunyadragon View PostThe Democratic Party is not a symbol of slavery. The Democratic Party of 19th century supported slavery and racism. This began to change in the course of political change in the twentieth century. The full turn around came in the 190s and 60s when the Democrats of the South (Dixiecrats) became predominately Republican in response to the voting rights, and racial equality legislation of that time.

Originally posted by seer View PostI don't remember The Gallant Men at all. 12 O'clock High was by far my favorite. I used to leave the Y dances early just to watch it.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostNo, not a thin veneer at all -- it was a question of whether the federal government could overrule in the affairs of states. As bad as the justification was by the South (keeping of slaves) it was still a matter of states' rights.
The "War of Northern Aggression" was fought because the Confederate states feared that the Union would abolish slavery. Anyone supporting the Confederacy or "Southern heritage" in this context needs to explicitly own that fact."I wonder about the trees. / Why do we wish to bear / Forever the noise of these / More than another noise / Robert Frost, "The Sound of Trees"

Originally posted by Sam View PostThe principle being preserved, the one over which states were willing to secede and Confederates to die, was the preservation of slavery. Calling it "state's rights" instead of "the right of the states to preserve the institution of slavery" is hiding behind generalities.
