Confederate Soldiers and their Motivations

One of the best arguments that can be made on this matter by John Mosby, leader of Mosby's Raiders during the Civil War.

He was never defeated in battle (or so I've read) and was still free at the end of the war.

"The flag stands for Southern pride, not prejudice!"
Okay, pride in what?? Pride in losing a war of insurrection against your country in the name of preserving slavery?

Interesting to see @Federal Farmer 's slide into full blown white supremacist

Hopefully it's just a shitty teenage phase

Hitler Youth. Cockney rhyming slang would be "Brandons" or "Brandon Rouths". True fact.

Show evidence of your claim.

CONFIRMED BACHELOR!

Since I doubt anyone watched the video I posted, I'll take this opportunity to post it again.

Isn't running over protesters of your klan rally a violation of your drunk driving probation?

You don't pay much attention do you? A) I've been off of probation since March, B) I've never attended a Klan rally, you lose.

That is not what your mom said when they interviewed her on the news.

There was no native agriculture in California so population densities were quite small to begin with plus a century or two of contact with Spanish colonialism meant old world disease had wiped out upwords of 90% of the native population prior to the first Americans even getting here.

Your false equivalency is just false. The Confederates were still shit stains though.

My mom is dead, you lose.

You appear to regard violent defenders of slavery and white supremacy with a special sort of empathy that you fail to extend to pretty much everyone else?

Is my empathy for these Nazi thugs or do I share the belief that Confederate monuments should not be taken down? Can you answer that? Can you answer this, are all people who don't think Confederate monuments should be taken down racist Nazi's? When you can successfully answer those two questions, then you will know whether or not I'm a white supremacist.

Population density is irrelevant; genocide is genocide. The peak native population in California was around 300,000 before Europeans arrived. While you are correct about Spanish colonialism and disease contributing to the reduction in population, the fact remains that after California joined the US, the native population dropped by another ~90% in the first 50 years of statehood. Around 1850, the native population in California was roughly 150,000. By 1900, it was 16,000. Throughout that time, there were intentional efforts to enslave, relocate, and kill natives.

And an interesting quote:

Of course it's too long for @Anna's feeble mind.

She died of shame.

And syphilis. But the shame was 90% of it.

Wrong, you lose.

Drunk driving accident?

Stay classy, bro.

1865 disagrees. For that matter, so does 1945.

That would be difficult, I'm not sure if this is a teenage phase or something much more permanent.

Shame caused by a drunk driving accident?

That makes no sense. You lose again.

If you are so sure I'm a white supremacist, it shouldn't be hard to prove your claim and post evidence.

An amoeba isn't any less subject to gravity because it lacks the brain to understand the concept.

Dude, you've literally spent the past 48hrs frantically stumbling over yourself to make excuses for these white supremacists, getting all emotional and creating juvenile, nonsensical threads about taking down monuments which you think helps prove the point of these protesters before finally doubling down with the "the Civil War wasn't about slavery" thread which just about every American slavery apologist known to man says.

Disgraceful.

Shocking but not surprising.
