    Well, I look at what's happened to the blacks since slavery...and I just don't know if they've taken advantage of their freedom.

    I am indeed. So since that was what you were referring to, what are you confused about?

    Is your worldview really so black-and-white that you can't grasp the idea of self-governance being good, but still not conferring a moral right to own other human beings?

    My worldview is that if you want to talk about the civil war then start another thread. This thread is about the January 6th hearings.

    Not only that, 6 states that woud join the confederacy either made it outright illegal to manumit your slaves in your will or had bills proceeding through their legislatures to do so.

    Another 4 made it impossible to manumit your slaves without the state legislature's approval. Guess how often that happened?

    So you couldn't even free your slaves in your will.

    Then don't bring it up. The topic came here because you started talking about the first civil war.

    You keep posting things like this like it's an own, which is correct, just not on who you think.

    Oh, and they fairly recently changed mis-storage of confidential documents from a misdemeanor to a felony with a maximum sentence of 5 years in jail.

    Guess which president signed off on that one? Yep - Trumpers!

    That's the very least he could be charged with. Will they? Remains to be seen.

    Wait, is FF a for-real historian? As in, that's what he makes his living doing?

    Certainly many have, don't get me wrong. But it's been 160 years...you'd think they'd have assimilated more. It's certainly not all their fault either, but it can't ALL be pinned on the Democrats.

    I mean, in the same way Flashlight is a lawyer, and Dayton is a teacher.

    Don’t forget that Flashy was also a psychiatrist.

    A psychiatrist who didn’t know that the DSM had been overhauled. Which is crazy as the last overhaul (DSM IV) was 25 years earlier, and last update (DSM-IV-TR) was 13 years earlier. In other words DSM 5 was a big fucking deal.

    His claim is that he is a historian because he majored in History in college. History. A liberal arts degree. A degree that is absolutely useless in the real world except that any degree is better than no degree when applying for any corporate job.

    I thought it was because he got an A+ in his 9th grade history class last year?

    No that is not my claim. I got a history degree because my mom wanted me to get a college degree and I promised her I would while she was literally on her death bed so that’s what I did. If anyone has a problem with that then fuck em’. I’m not a historian by trade. Now can we all please drop this shit and move on?

    1. It is an entitled POV to think you gave them their freedom. It was just that you could not keep up the effort to oppress them anymore because they became too strong.

    2. Who the fuck are you ro judge if they took advantage of their freedom? They have to live up to your expectations or else they do not deserve to do what they want?

    3. If we are going by your logic it seems that your freedom to enslave people was taken away from you, so maybe that is on your lazy ass and not them.

    Oh, and your blackface is dripping like rudy's hair dye.

    Next week his mom is going to make him promise to bring home some PBR on the way home. His dead mom is over there with Hillary's emails, hunter biden's laptop, and democrat voter fraud.

    I kinda want to punch you in the mouth several times, just so when the cops show up I can watch you vigorously defend my right to self govern my own hands. :bergman:

    Germany had the right to self-governance too. Is FF arguing they should have been left alone to murder Jews by the trainload, as long as they kept to their own borders?

    WW2 was not fought to free the the Jews just like the Civil War was not fought to free the slaves.

    It would have been so easy for you to say "murdering Jews by the trainload is bad, governments probably shouldn't be allowed to do that," but you just couldn't bring yourself to compromise your commitment to the principles of self governance, so instead you replied with a non sequitur.

    You're a special type of... something. :bergman:

    I'll refute your face into hamburger if I ever get the chance, but my grandkids will insist it was only because of tariffs. :bergman:

    Hence the bolded bit, you ignorant slut.

    Are you arguing that self-governance has no limits?
