Did you know, it's Scooby Doo canon that Scooby's great grandpa fought for the right to own other humans as chattel slaves and that Shaggy's uncle (great uncle? they just say the guy is an uncle) 100% owned other humans as chattel slaves and fought a war to protect his right to own other humans as slaves.
>>151630463I love how much Southern kitsch was created by non-Southerners. I can't even remember when it ended, when I was growing up it was just a given that the Confederacy was always portrayed as charming and chivalrous and wonderful. Things changed hard in the 21st century, but the film version of Gone With the Wind cast this enormous shadow and was in some ways more pro-Southern than the book despite being made by a Pennsylvanian producer and Californian director.
>>151630525A lot of forts were named after confederate generals to get the chuddies to go to both world wars. >>151630463he's a dang dog, he's going to do whatever his master tells him to.
Obviously I never thought about it as a kid, but it really is crazy how much Confederate glazing there used to be in media
The Confederacy unironically, earnestly, wholeheartedly, and without exaggeration did nothing wrong. States should be allowed to leave the union for any reason they want, and that 100% includes slavery.
>>151630463deadass?
>>151630463First, he is a dog. How is it any different from owning a pet from his perspective?Second, did it really say that Shaggy's uncle had slaves?
>>151631083Worth noting that several states did not secede untill after war were declared.
>>151630525I mean we used to actually teach history in schools and that the civil war is a hell of a lot more nuanced than "muh slavery"
>>151631144>Second, did it really say that Shaggy's uncle had slaves?Shaggy's uncle, who was a confederate vet, leaves him a plantation. I'd assume if he owns a plantation he owned slaves
>>151631083It's sad liberal states have subsidized the kind of comfortable existence you've led that's made you so comfortable and flippant about owning other people as property. Ironically if your bumfuck state had seceded you wouldn't be able to sit around all day online huffing your own farts about what a rugged individualist you are.
>>151631167Any many others wanted to secede as well including Maryland but Abe that asshole had to go and impression the entire state Senate. Which is extra funny because Abe fully endorsed West Virginia seceding from the confederacy.
>>151631203The southern states combined were the world's 4th largest economy and tarriffs on cotton was funding the northern states. You unironically are using the very same argument the south did
>>151631083>be north carolina and get dragged along anyways because V*rginia and worst Carolina wanted to start some shitI'm glad Dreadlord General Sherman went easy on us and turbofucked the shithead traitors.
>>151630463After a while it doesn't really matter.
>>151631083you say that but the confederate constitution prohibited states from seceding from their little cliché too.
>>151631292At least it was explicitly stated in the constitution. The US constitution did not, does not, and never has prohibited secession, therefore the secession preceding and during the Civil War was justified.
>>151631083The only meaningful difference between the American Revolutionaries, including the Founding Fathers, and the Confederates is that the former's treasonous secession succeeded and the latter's failed. They were both, by any definition, traitors, and they both, by any definition, seceded.
>>151631175You'd still expect that the winning side would be portrayed more positively, but the positive portrayals of the North (except Lincoln) were like nothing compared to the positive portrayals of the South.E.g. when I saw Buster Keaton's "The General" I was surprised that it had the Confederates as the good guys and the Union as the bad guys, not because of slavery but just because the Confederates lost and you don't usually expect the losing side to be the good guys in war stories. And Keaton wasn't a Southerner either, it was just standard pop culture that the South was romantic and chivalrous and the North was grubby and nasty and only won because it had more money (it probably did).It was partly that positive portrayals of the South was a way of bringing the South back into the American mainstream while even the Northerners agreed that they represented everything wrong with capitalism.
It's time to remind them. You lost.
>>151631347yea and one of the first lines of each state constitution was that it was illegal to prohibit slavery. A bunch of southern cunts threw away all of their political capital by leaving after losing a 3 way election and ruined every future secession attempt by fighting a war they could not win. Why not try to get someone else elected in 4 years and idk industrialize the south more so you won't get turbofucked? but no the aristocratic cunt faggots couldn't do that huh?
>>151631432I'm sure the daughters of the confederacy played a far bigger role in white washing the CSA.
>>151631432the good the bad and the ugly also portrays the confederates as better than the unionalso they totally downplay the south. no one talks about the gun powder thing around patriots day and they downplay jamestown for plymouth
>>151631432Yeah, they still lost and were fighting to keep slavery, a thing most Western nations had already abandoned without imploding, regardless of how shiny their buttons looked in your funny Birth of a Nation CSA cope movies that make your boomers cry. Dilate, southern hick.
>>151631438Ok libtroon
>>151631531Fuck Plymouth, Jamestown baby. Also fuck the 1619 project. -commonwealther
>>151631583
>>151631593How's the country doing down there? Bet the cotton harvest went great for your niggers, huh? Oh wait. My family burned your family's plantation down. Sorry about that. Enjoy all the chattel you bused in though!
>>151631583They lost the war but won the propaganda war for the 20th century.Then the propaganda war went against them and they lost again but by that time we had the internet, so nobody believes the war even happened.
>>151631583>a thing most Western nations had already abandoned without implodingthe bong end of slavery was a banker plot. the bong government took out massive loans to pay all the slave owners and only paid off the loans in like 2015
>>151631401>The only meaningful difference between the American Revolutionaries, including the Founding Fathers, and the ConfederatesI'm as much of a cynic as the next jerk, but this is simply too much of a generalization.The Declaration of Independence and the Southern states' declarations of seccession are very different in their aims and reasons. You really should read them, it's eye opening how laser focused on the issue of slavery the Confederates were. No amount of Lost Cause revisionism can stand in the face of the Confederate politicians own words. The ACW was 100% about the right to own slaves.
>>151631704>P-PEOPLE AGREE WITH US..!! I-I CAN'T PROVE IT BUT IT'S TRUUUUEEE!!Just stop. You're not just embarrassing your inbred mudpits you yahoos were trying to call a country at this point. You're making the entire direction of 'South' look bad.
>>151631704> You've got the banjos strummin'> And plunking out a tune to beat the band> The whole plantation's hummin'> Since you brought Dixie back to Dixieland> You make the cotton easy to pick... MAME!> You give my old mint julep a kick, MAME!-- A Jewish songwriter from New York
>>151630525The best US civil war films are made by europeans
>>151631757I really don't know who you're arguing with. This is about portrayals of the Confederacy in pop culture not whether those portrayals were true.
>>151630463The Confederate zombies were also the good guys in zombie island.
>>151631719>IT WUZ DA JOOZ WHO TOOK OUR MUHFUGGIN SLAVES SHIIIIIIEEETT ALWAYS KEEPIN DA WHITE BROTHAS DOWN!No wonder you guys lost. You were projecting all those stereotypes onto niggers from yourselves, you lazy retards. Of cooooourse! How silly of me. It was the Jews that stopped Ol' Couson Grandpappy Jebediah from attaining that there Aryan dream!
>>151631747Let's not pretend the Union was fighting to free slaves anon. It took until after the war for Slavery to be abolished. The Union had legal slavery throughout thr course of the war. Calling the civil war a war of slavry is completely disingenuous.
Fun Fact: British (((bankers))) financed and goaded the South into secession as a fuck you to America for leaving the empire. They would use this same tactic to finance the Bolsheviks to overthrow the czar, as well as secretly finance Hitler's rise to power.History sure is fun!
>>151631802>CousonMinor spelling mistake, post disregarded.
>>151631747part of the reason the south joined the revolution was that the bongolians were ending slavery around that time. the other part was the gun poweder thing in virginia where the bongs seized gunpower. I forget if it's the affair or whatever since a similar thing happened the previous year in new hampshire and a few other places and it's why the patriots had a whole plan and were able to get organized so quickly when the bongs marched on concord >>151631802I'm from the north, you are a gay retard.
>>151630463Scooby Doo always sucked.
>>151630525https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Q--iGgtRn8
Scooby Doo takes place in a world where dogs are as sentient as humans but humans still own dogs and no one questions this. So maybe Scooby's great grandpa fighting for slavery wasn't that big of a deal in their world. Why should he give a fuck about fighting to liberate black people when no one's even TRYING to liberate dogs.
>>151630463In the near future people will talk this way about woke cartoons
>>151631963I know that hurt
ITT inbred retards repeat horseshit spewed by The Daughters of the Confederacy
>>151630463I guess in this case this is true, but mostly the southern side was poor guys being tricked or coerced into fighting to protect plantation profits, not slave owners fighting to keep their slaves.
>>151630463He’s a fucking dog.
>>151631804Okay worst Carolina got so pissy they lost to Lincoln because the vote was split in 3 ways. Jefferson Davis didn’t even want secession to happen. It’s been a decade since I’ve taken history but one of the reasons the southern states were upset at the north was because northern states wouldn’t return escaped property. I’m sure they had other many “valid”reasons for leaving.
>>151631804>I am a dipshit racistGive the declarations of secession a read sometime you dumb cunt
>>151630525Almost as if there had been a conscious effort to whitewash the Confederacy for years and people either bought into the propaganda campaign or were racists and liked the confederacy and thus wanted to paint them in positive light
>>151633095In the near future no one will know what "woke" even means. Already pretty much everyone under 20 thinks the term is retarded and only say it when they want to imitate old people.
>>151633279>War is finally won despite Lincoln's constant fuck-ups>"You guys that funded the war can't have your money and stuff anymore.">"Can we give it to our daughters?">"Yeah sure, fuck it, I'm tired."And that's how we got Confederate statues fucking everywhere
>>151633258>because northern states wouldn’t return escaped propertyYou mean people who escaped slavery.
>>151633330Yeah but according to Cletusanon it wasn’t about slavery
>>151633378It isn’t even true that the north wouldn’t return escaped slaves. They were literally forced to do that for a full decade prior to the civil war when the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 was passed.
