Make the Confederacy's Defeat a National Holiday; 150 years ago this week, Robert E. Lee surrendered to the Union. Let's celebrate it—every year.

We can say that it is to celebrate Northern "heritage".
Two million people either directly or indirectly killed and millions of dollars in private property damage.

Progressive blood lust doesn't warrant celebration, only shame in what was the most shameful chapter in this country's history.
Do you have no shame, sir?
Are you bereft of any grace or integrity?
You have started thread after thread babbling on about how "noble' the confederacy was.
You fly its flag and carry on like some debutante drag queen after too many mint juleps.
You defend a society who's economy was based on the slavery and brutal subjugation of fellow human beings.
Under the veneer of civility, with fopped out dandys and belles parading at cotillions yammering about honor and chivalry,
lied a reeking cesspool of mendacity, greed and venality on the backs of people stolen from their homes and treated like chattel.

And after the war and the emancipation, instead of being like "hey, we were assholes..we now welcome our black brothers and sisters as fellow Americans",
That same society created laws that put black folk under the boot heel of bigotry, subjecting to lynchings, oppression and terror for another century.

You celebrate this very culture..and you have the gall to wank off about people celebrating the north? :oyvey
You pull out the fiddle and wax about how shameful the war was?
Really?
You have dropped some fetid deuces on these boards but this hypocritical pile of bovine excrement takes the cake.
Yeehaa! You've still goddit Tik!
Great post. Give 'er.

The winner of the Civil War is only in doubt because Lincoln failed to hang all the confederate traitors.............. :oyvey
The Romans knew how to deal with similar rebellions. They slaughtered most, took the remainer either as slaves, or nailed them to crosses. No more problems
You know who else knew how to crack down on dissent and regional pride?

Joseph Stalin.
And guess what? It worked

What Lincoln did was unusual. The Romans, the Mongols, the countries that conquered the Americas, they put the hammer down on rebels. Lots of executions, lots of repression

The south was let off easy, and they tried to get away with a lot of crap. They murdered ex-slaves, murdered white republicans, installed Jim Crow, some even kept slaves years after the war

Wow. Way to expose your lack of ethics comrade.
Not being an advocate of it, just pointing out the different ways nations dealt with rebellions.

Lincoln chose an unusual path, forgiveness and reintegration back into the fold. The south showed a lack of appriciation and class by acting all bitter and being sore losers

Get real. The South showed its appreciation by providing the cannon fodder for the Emprie's war throughout the twentieth century.

Perhaps you should get the progressives to place a platform calling for another civil war?
Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary.

You get real

Read up on reconstruction and the war between the kkk and the radical republicans

If you lose a fight and the guy that beats you says ''do you give up?'' and you say yeah, and he lets you up, then you be a man and accept defeat.

The south were given mercy and forgiveness and they acted like big babies ever since. Get over it

Perhaps your should get the Democratic Party to run on a platform of a second civil war? That should help to get their agenda passed?

Here in the South I often hear the Civil War referred to as 'The War of Northern Aggression'.

Pretty funny for a war started with the South firing the first shots. They started it, but the North damn sure finished it.

I have a historic civil war battlefield virtually in my backyard - the first time a train came under fire is less than 500 ft from my back door. The battle of Balls Bluff and the battle of Bull Run are both just a few miles away - and that's just three of the more famous encounters.

Have you considered my advice? You should move to Portland if you loathe the South so much.

Lincoln was as bad a president as FDR - in the same way he dragged out a war (when there shouldn't have been one) FDR dragged out a recession and then let a war happen after poking and prodding the japanese.

It's worth noting that only about 6% of the south actually owned any slaves.

The north could have bought all of the slaves and freed them for a lot cheaper and a lot less lives.

That's assuming that the slave holders would have been willing to sell, which I highly doubt.

Actually, the number rises to about 10% but that's only really including the large plantations where you might have a few dozen, some having upwards of a 100, doesn't take into account a shopowner who made have bought one, a small farmer with perhaps a family if he was lucky, etc, etc..

But it's also a sure bet that over 75% of them thought that the only good thing a black man was good for was to be a slave.

So your answer would be to perpetuate the concept that the southern slaves were property so the north could buy them...and what message would that have sent to the southern slaves, that we were property to begin with, we just got bought out by a more benevolent master?

The South's whole position was that slavery was their "peculiar institution" and they didn't want to end it, in fact, they wanted to extend it out into the western territories

I doubt it. Slaves destroy the job market unless you are a business owner or highly skilled.

Considered it and used it appropriately; the other night I ran out of toilet paper.

Besides, I did respond to it at that time; sorry you missed it.

Your idea is that the North should have purchased human beings?

Did I read that right?

What's wrong with his logic? Why do you celebrate the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans?
