(((Dennis Prager))) is Jewish. PragerU is wildly pro-Jew, pro-Israel.

See, there are silver linings to dark clouds.

The problem is that you really cannot decouple slavery from the state vs federal issue. Without slavery it is highly unlikely there would have been a war even given the different economies and trade interests in the North and South. But it is also unlikely slavery would have caused a war if the states were more aligned on trade and economic issues. I say this as someone who generally argues the issue was more about states rights and trade policy, not slavery.
Slavery as a (secondary) economic issue. No one would make the following ridiculous claim: The South was against the (blood and toil) machine of the North that demanded regulation, tariffs, and regular industry inputs from supporting regions, and, in essence, the Confederacy stood in ideological opposition to a system that was using child and female labor in soul-sucking factories.

Here's an excellent break down someone else originaly posted on why it wasn't about slavery. https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-so-called-american-civil-war-was-not-over-slavery/5605505

General Lee apparently wanted to free the slaves so they could avoid the whole thing. Canada I believe paid the slave owners to release their slaves peacefully.
There is a case to be made for the actual conflict being over state's rights and the slaves being used as an excuse.
I'm not an expert though and only parroting what I heard here.

Who set it up? What's it's main objective?

Jews that want to give frustrated whites a place to vent without actually coming across anything that would make an impact. They spend a lot of money and make aesthetically pleasing 5-minute videos that work great for e-mails and facebook shares amongst conservatives, but it's like a highway off-ramp that leads you away from a true destination. They never touch on WHY things are the way they are, scientific differences between races, etc.

(((Dennis Prager))), but he's a very reasonable right-winger, and his short videos typically have narrators that are relevant to the subject.
The fact he got banned is unbelievable. Or perhaps just a sign of things to come. I guess that whole "allow lively debate within a narrow spectrum of opinions" concept is coming to fruition.

I signed up to the pragerU facebook page. Invited all my friends to do so too. Word is alr3ady spreading. Many of their Facebook videos (same ones as on their site) have millions of views already.

Do you work for them? This feels like an advertisement. I also don't trust any kike stuff so that's my main concern.
