*never slave owners, possibly slaves or destitute for generations, while their children were sold into debt slavery by the usury tricks of the super rich and also, unfortunately, not nazis.

If groups of people can change, then the Democrats aren't hypocrites for wanting to get rid of the statue. If groups of people can't change, Black people are still slaves, and Germans are still Nazis. Either way, this is stupid

Gone With the Wind really opened my eyes.
Yes, I know it's a work of fiction but the world after the Civil War is just like what is happening now. Democrats and Liberals changing laws to force their way into an already established society and using guns and imprisonment to push the uneducated and unskilled to the top of the workforce.

I'd rather people be pro Trump than an SJW, but there is still far to go after that. Ultimately Trump is a zionist, but he has done some great things for our country. This idea that Confederates were all Democrats is not based on reality nor is the belief that somehow the Confederates were the bad guys.

Abraham Lincoln offered the Confederate states an amendment that would protect slavery. It's a complete fallacy that this was a war over slaves.
Each state had it's own sovereignty and power until Abraham Lincoln (Zionist) was looking to unite all the states under a strict federal government. The Confederate states wanted to keep state powers and tyrant Lincoln wanted to take away those rights.
It all makes sense when you realize that reconstruction after the civil war was largely to set up a strong federal government and to set the stage for central banks to move in.
Just 20 years after reconstruction we got the federal reserve under Woodrow Wilson (tyrant).

Nice concise explanation. Our true history is laced with so many lies that most people don't have the willpower or brainpower to unravel it all, they just scoop it up and swallow. Yum, herd mentality so tasty.

It actually was. Declaration of secession of the southern states
This tactic of ignoring all evidence that doesn't fit the narrative and turning everything into "us vs them" is unbecoming of us. White people didn't get this far by creating echo chambers and denying reality; we got this far by being willing to accept all evidence, even that which does not suit our immediate interests. The war was very much a war over slavery.
