Can't. It's just not right.

south genocide best day of my life

no niggers

I need more than ten seconds.

1. The war was primarily about slavery. Only 2% of white people in the South owned slaves. Most of them were farmers who didn't own their own land. The war was generated by the wealthy 2% of slaveowners who controlled the press and claimed that Lincoln was going to enslave white people and free the niggers.

2. While the feasibility is questionable, Lincoln sought to remove niggers from America to create a white ethno-state republic with a strong central government. That's a lot like Hitler.

3. The economic situation for the South was impossible. Even during the war, they relied on the North purchasing their cotton. There was not enough economic diversity in the South.

4. Slavery was about to be over, regardless. Jefferson Davis was intending to end slavery as soon as the war was over.

No one won the war, really. 10% of the male population died in just 4 years. When you account for just fighting age men, it comes out to something like 1 out of 5 guys from that generation were dead. Furthermore, the North mostly used Irish and German immigrants, while the South only had their own Anglos and Scots (hence the saltire design of the battleflag). If it weren't for the press, Lincoln would've likely peacefully removed niggers. But because of the war, the North punished the South for a century, and sectionalism continues to this day.

Yankee fag go home and take your carpetbagging faggotry with you

Because they would divide an empire, had they gained independence America wouldn't be America.

You have ten seconds to explain how Sherman did anything wrong.

He attacked civilians, and refused to engage the enemy's soldiers. Sherman is perhaps history's biggest war criminal. He should've been executed for crimes against his own nation.

Their strategy was overly defensive.

"You people of the South don't know what you are doing. This country will be drenched in blood, and God only knows how it will end. It is all folly, madness, a crime against civilization! You people speak so lightly of war; you don't know what you're talking about. War is a terrible thing! You mistake, too, the people of the North. They are a peaceable people but an earnest people, and they will fight, too. They are not going to let this country be destroyed without a mighty effort to save it… Besides, where are your men and appliances of war to contend against them? The North can make a steam engine, locomotive, or railway car; hardly a yard of cloth or pair of shoes can you make. You are rushing into war with one of the most powerful, ingeniously mechanical, and determined people on Earth—right at your doors. You are bound to fail. Only in your spirit and determination are you prepared for war. In all else you are totally unprepared, with a bad cause to start with. At first you will make headway, but as your limited resources begin to fail, shut out from the markets of Europe as you will be, your cause will begin to wane. If your people will but stop and think, they must see in the end that you will surely fail."

...

I can't. Flooding a white nation with niggers because a Jew doesn't want to pay a white a fair day's wage for a fair day's work is the only reasonable course of action

Such as women and children.

Sherman was a retard and most of the northern generals were incompetant. Lincoln probably replaced a dozen generals for how many times they fucked up.

Because they were Democrats

What justification did Lincoln even have of starting the war? It was started over a single fort. And then the North tried to push it as a slavery issue. There was NO justification for starting the war. The North was the ones who started it. Lincoln could've easily have let the South remain The South it would've eventually have gone to shit anyways thanks to a rapidly shrinking labor force, lack of foreign legitimacy, and lack of infrastructure, anyways

Lincoln was no less than an Imperial, traitorous, piece of dogshit. His justifications for dragging the war on and having more and more fellow Americans killed was nothing left than selfish pride. Fuck him.
Pic related, seriously, that fucking hair

This is true. Southern generals were vastly superior when it came to strategic and tactical abilities

That's because that's exactly what it was. Slavery was the big states' rights issue of the day.

John Mosby even came out and said that he wasn't aware of any reason for the war other than slavery.
Except for keeping the country together.
You sound like a whiny libcuck.

...

Oh fuck right off, the war was over economics. The north smothered the south out of anything lucritive. If slavery was so wrong, you wouldn't have had freed slaves turning right around and becoming slave owners. Seeing what's become of niggers, what are you saying? That it was moral to pretend they were equals and deserved to "intergrate"? Always fun to have libcucks trying to dictate others' lives despite being nowhere near the problems they always preach over.

Republicans wanted a white republic. Democrats wanted to exploit the white middle class while propping up the negro.

wtf the north fucking started the war

Jews

"Keeping the country together" is a poor excuse to have your own men murdered. There could've been peaceful negotiations. The North chose violence, and now modern history books write them off as the peaceful ones. Bull fucking horse shit

Like slavery.
Whether slavery is right or wrong is beside the point. The war was over slavery and there/s no getting around that (despite the existence of Rainbow Confederates and HERITAGE NOT HATE cuckolds and the inane narratives they like to push).

I can honestly see why the Confederates did what they did, I just can't stand the way the self-righteousness and pusillanimity of their latter-day admirers.

they were racist

Nigger are you retarded? Even mainstream historians will tell you the war was never initially about slavery. It is true that Lincoln was always in favor of abolition but thats besides the point. The war was started over a single fort. This is historical fact, not slavery, a fort. If you think a war starts because a neighboring country has slaves and you dissaprove of that then you are a complete fucking idiot. That's not how wars start. It was pushed as an issue towards the middle and end of the war to drive enlistment and make it a morality issue instead of what it really was about; imperialism.

haha retard. Lincoln knew that racism and slavery were bad so he started the war when the southerners wouldn't free their slaves.

Maybe the fort was racist, did you ever think about that you stupid bitch?!?!?!?

Thats incorrect.

Because they weren't industrialized. You need factories to make weapons.

Like focusing all of the trade up north, faggot, and then shitting on the South when it protested.
Fuck off, seriously. You apprantly missed the part where I said that niggers who were freed as slaves ended up often becoming slave owners themselves. There were blacks running businesses, hobnobbing, and participating in the South, even in the war willingly. You literally know shit all about the South and anything leading up to the war. Kill yourself.

This union of states was supposed to be an agreement you ignorant piece of garbage. You sound like you are reciting passages from your grade school textbook. Chiming in to a thread because you have something to say is like putting water in a gas tank. Does more good than bad when you are stupid enough to do it.

Let him wallow in his ignorance.

So… are there still black-skinned people that live in the USA? So… why was the war fought?

Fucking yanks man.

Shit food.

The South will rise again!

You people couldn't tell he was rusing you? Fuck man it really is summer

Forts aren't just symbols of racism and constant reminders of oppression, they're a symbol of the patriarchy and institutionalized misogyny. When did you last see a fort that didn't have phallic symbols, turrets in this case, jutting up far into the sky to increase their oppression range? (Hint: never)

All forts are RACIST, SEXIST and ANTI-LGBTQF. Anybody too homophobic to admit that to themselves is an idiot who stands in the way of progress. Honestly we should tear down all forts and castles to make way for an EQUAL and GAY-NORMALIZING world. Progress is inevitable, you're an utter fool if you think you can stop it. Better to be on the right side of history.

Pick one.

I can tell you're a stupid redneck from appalachia because of your bigotry and readily apparent ignorance, Cletus. Your attitude wouldn't make it a day in a modern, enlightened area like California.

It might surprise you but some people really think like that.

The South seceded over states' rights (slavery being the big issue) and fired on Fort Sumter.
I never said the war was fought to free the slaves, retard. The South seceded over their right to keep slaves, and the North fought to preserve the Union. Freeing the slaves was largely a PR tool.

"The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be 'the Union as it was.' If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views." -Lincoln's letter to Horace Greeley

Except slavery was the single greatest issue.
What does that have to do with the cause of the war, dumbass?

Except it fucking wasn't, jackass. An aspect of an economy doesn't make the entirety of an economy. If the power and the trade is centralised in one spot, ie the north, what the fuck kind of sentimentality do you think that breeds in the part of the nation furthest removed from that hub? How about you fucking apply yourself?
Gee, I dunno, maybe it's to help put into perspective how biased your faggotry is and how you don't know anything about what you're talking about? Maybe the south and its culture, being appreciated by all those within it, was just in its reasons for defending itself when the north forcefully tried to secure a fort in NC? Maybe you should gargle barbed wire?

I don't even know the CSA, that's why.

Then it's pretty odd that Alexander Stephens disagreed:
Whether the Confederacy was right or not to fire on Fort Sumter is a topic that has little to do with the issues leading to the South seceding in the first place, assmaster. The tension was already there; Fort Sumter was just the spark that lit the powder keg.

Yep, you're retarded. GG.

Sad!

Do yourself a favor and actually educate yourself.

Slavery is evil.

>unable to challenge Union Blockade, needed but did not receive foreign intervention to break blockade

While I understand why the common southern man of the time fought, you need to realize that the whole romantic ideal of the "Old South" was a lot more cucked than "The South Shall Rise Again" fanboys realize.

...

Dead-end insufficiently diversified economic model and no foreign alliances.

Because slavery destroyed white jobs. We imported niggers for the same reason people want us to import sandniggers now: rich Americans wanted to keep poor Americans poor.

because jews are our greatest allies

Wonder how many liberals would fight in the civil war if cali tried to secede?

By keeping the cannonballs the south fired at them? let me guess the south dindu nufin? They was a gud boi?


such as rail lines and depots and cotton gins. I love seeing people in denial about how awesome Sherman was and how stupid the entire southern leadership was. Sherman's March changed the tune of the South from "fuck you we are invincible" to "Ow! Stop! Your Hurting me. Don't be so mean." Don't start a war if you can't win a war.


Posting a man who can't grow chesthair or admit he invades his neighbors to complement your hot opinions? Sherman kicked the absolute shit out of the south because he studied his profession. Southerners were planters and gentlemen and moustache growers. Sherman was a soldier.
But go ahead and tell me how Lee was a genius by fucking up at Gettysburg and attacking when he should have been defending, as he had promised Longstreet. Go ahead and tell me how fighting to win in war is somehow cheating while holding humans as chattel is somehow noble.

Are you retarded? The point of the war from the north's perspective was to take back control of territory that was already part of the union, they weren't conquering some foreign land. The techniques sherman used ensured the south wouldn't have a thriving economy until ww2. Now tell me how it was a good idea to cripple the infrastructure of a large chunk of your own country. Tell me how you effectively put the lives of negroes over your own countrymen since you're so concerned about them being chattel.

And this is why the Confederates lost.

Because Lincoln betrayed the country and brought massive numbers of poor Irish in to fight the civil war and later freed the slaves. Which set the stage for progressivism, prohibition, 16th amendment, the mafia, big government, big corporations, wage slavery, socialism
