can /his/ explain to me, a non american why the confederates were "bad" or any worse than the founding fathers of america?

Hundreds of years of institutional brainwashing. It's no coincidence the leaders of US education were the main enemies of the south. The victor writes the history and all that

Friendly reminder that the american south is the ONLY part of america that still retains its founding old stock anglo population
The souths succession is completely justified on those grounds alone
If the founding fathers came back to life the only part of america they'd feel some kind of familiarity to is the south.
The south was a genuine aristocracy hearkening back to olde englande. the south had the greatest social mobility in all of the united states, where poor white southerners could rise up in the ranks by becoming slave owners, joining slave patrols and overseeing plantations. poor southerners like andrew jackson and bedford forrest who were literally born in dirt floored cabins literally became landed nobility from slave trading. There was no social emnity in the south, southern poor whites and yeomen were treated kindly by the noble and generous southern aristocracy
The north on the other hand was a soulless capitalistic merchantile shithole

No. The Confederacy was explicitly founded because Northern politicians repeatedly pushed for legislature that was anti-south. They were unable to develop because of that and due to the civil war and the north continuing to screw them over into reconstruction the south is now akin to a third world nation

It's not insane, it's what their economy was based off of and the north relied on southern exports as much as the south relied on northern exports. Should the north have been forced to give up factories and return to the cottage system because they were grossly violating the labor of the people and later immigrants?

good? Slavery to enlightened Anglos is far more humane than what we have today.
blacks had a longer life expectancy then.

If their lives were so bad, why were they living longer?

Northerners tended to view Secession as traitorous and believed that union was supposed to be perpetual and insoluble. If you consider yourself patriotic, it's more or less the default to consider rebels as deserving to be crushed. It's also important to note. Southerners had been noxious, petulant cunts about slavery. Even to people who more mildly disapproved of slavery than outright abolitionists, they must have looked like the biggest assholes on Earth. Imagine if you were playing b-ball with a bunch of kids who are just lurching around the court fingering their own assholes and each other's, constantly crowing about how fingering assholes made them better people and real gentlemen unlike yourselves, forcing you to accept special rules and refusing to follow the ones they don't like because ass-fingerers are super special. Whenever someone disputes them, they smear their finger-shit on the ball and wipe it on your shirt as they go by and kick you in the shins, pontificating and playing the victim all the while. After a while, they've been rolled by your team. Because they were busier fingering ass, smearing shit, and arguing between themselves over how deep to stick their fingers up YOUR ass. So they take the ball and make to go home, crying that basketball isn't fair to people who score fewer points because of their constant ass-fingering and that you're unfair and mean, and then they steal your bikes. If some faggot wants to finger assholes and be a bitch, maybe that's not a big deal in itself as long as they keep it to themselves. Maybe it's a treat to be rid of such fucks even at the price of a few bikes. But if it were you, wouldn't you be really seized by the impulse to go after them and kick their asses? Especially if a popular song exhorted you to do just that?
>>
>>16825991
No, they didnt.
Northerners didnt care about treachery or "HECKIN TRAITOR" they cared about keeping the Nation together, they didnt go ballistic like lefties do today.
Everyone in the North had a grandfather who betrayed a country.
>deserving to be crushed
not patriotic at all.
The Union was never meant to be a suicide pact and in fact the war was fairly unpopular for the entirety of the conflict with a considerable number of Northerners desiring to just let the South go.
>HECKIN SLAVERY

>>16825991
The North were the obnoxious ones. Slavery was expected and accepted of most other nations on earth. The idea that slavery was bad was a new thought being formed entirely. Look at Brazil which had way worse slavery. The USA was responsible for a tiny fraction of the slave trade. Meaning it was perfectly accepted culturally to have slaves. It was the North who suddenly imposed rules onto the South. Even though the North used slaves too just a bit prior. The only reason why the North didn't hop on slavery too initially was because the religious people in the North believed in an honest days work.

No really? Blacks didn’t care when blacks were enslaving blacks. They only cared when beautiful handsome Whites were doing it because it was humiliating.
>straw man
Nope.
You personally literally have never seen a slave, never experienced slavery on either end, and your contact with slavery is largely American and not actually informed by the great array of slave societies of history.
Learn the full history of Egypt, Persia, Greece, Rome, and Mesoamerica. Then you may speak to me about slaves.

If slavery is a known fact of life across the world except for a few tiny nations then it's horseshit to try and ban it the way the North did. Their economy, like nearly every other economy on earth, relied on slavery as an integral part of their nation.
>>16826074

>>16825982
>They were at the whims of the north regardless
Such is life when you live in a system where things are decided by voting, the South should have considered that before joining the Union and agreeing to the Constitution which explicitly outlined this system. Even so, they were provided with abundant measures to cancel out the powers the North was owed due to its larger population. Just the fact that 6 million had equal Senatorial representation to 21 million was a massive concession to Southern interests.
>It's not insane, it's what their economy was based off of
So? Base it off something else instead of turning everything south of the 36°30 parallel into a copy of Brazilian society. Slave plantations also didn't benefit the common Southerner, only the wealthy elite who owned them, essentially turning their society into one of extreme wealth disparity and where even free whites were living poorly if they weren't in that elite.
>Should the north have been forced to give up factories and return to the cottage system because they were grossly violating the labor of the people and later immigrants?
The fact that immigrants voluntarily came to the North should already be an indicator that life there was simply better.
>>Thomas Jefferson
>owned slaves and thought america should be a nation of farmers, he hated cities
Yes, none of which changes my previous points. Jefferson wouldn't give a shit about "pure English stock" because he fucking hated England with a seething passion and was an enormous Francophile who spent his life cheering for Jacobinism and a bunch of other things that would give the average Southerner even today a stroke (e.g. his edited Bible removing all of Jesus's divine traits).
Appealing to the Founding Fathers' opinions and sensibilities is such a stupid ploy, literally who cares what their personal thoughts were, especially when they all had different opinions on every topic and literally only agreed on seceding from Britain's yoke?

Actually the North invalidated that, see Kansas and California for examples of the North not being consistent with laws that they came up with.

Oh ok. The fact that the South was rich and that the North relied on its exports is an indicator that slavery is actually good

Washington and Jefferson created the nation. They also owned slaves at a time when it was a bit less anachronistic to do so. But regardless, anyone who's actually educated on the founding fathers sees them in the same light as they see any aristocrat from the time. Thats why you see people vandalizing their statues.

during reconstruction northern carpetbaggers printed 130 million dollars out of southern state treasuries for railroads alone, of which half was easily embezzled. In some states the railroads were never built at all.

In florida 1 million choice acres was sold to the north at 5 cents an acre, over 500,000 dollars went missing out of the treasury from tax revenue. The Louisiana legislature ran up a 1 million dollar bar tab and embezzled about 2.5 million dollars, the bulk of which was a 2 million dollar railroad just built and sold to the chief justice of the supreme court of lousiana's business partners for $50,000

>Northerners tended to view Secession as traitorous
This was actually sort of a retcon. Some, like Lincoln, did. Many at the time of the crisis were vehemently denying that they were fighting secession at all and protesting that they would never dare to violate such a clearly defined and fundamental political right. They claimed instead that it was self-defense and that the South was going to do x and y after fort sumter, etc. Reading primary sources and first hand impressions in journals and correspondence during the initial stages of the war really shows you what a shitshow the state of Northern opinion was and what kind of retcon was needed to make the war seem like a united and glorious effort to save the indestructible Union.

Amazing what a difference exists, between, say, the letters of a Pennsylvania economist and an article contributed by a New England intellectual or the diary of a New York businessman, and the writings of later historians.

Incidentally, both sides suffered by the war. Both sides lost their original constitutional rights and the Federal government hit peak corruption and thievery in the decades following the war. There were many corrupt men in the government previous to the war, but it was nothing like the insanity in the 50 years following.

Psychologically giving people choices makes them unhappy because they get obsessed over all the choices they don't make.

A slave by contrast isn't allowed to make choices. They could choose to runaway or something but that isn't the default option so it is easy to mentally put it out of mind as a missed opportunity. As a result unless the slave is miserable they are probably going to look back at their life thinking about all the stuff they did do rather than the stuff they didn't do.

"I served my master well" might seem like an odd thing to look back fondly upon but it does seem like they fulfilled a purpose of some kind, and it isn't functionally different than a guy who worked decades for the same company and got a little certificate for their long service. In some respects the slave lived a more fulfilling life because they served a fellow human being over some nameless entity. That guy who worked decades for the same company might have worked for different managers with different relationships with each, but the slave would have a personal loyalty to their master, or in some cases the master's children who they might have watched grow up, and so this relationship is far more "human" than that of a corporate drone.

It is easy to see that if slavery can either be hell on earth or it can be basically the equivalent of a some page who served the king his whole life but where the "king" might only "rule" like a couple acres. If one is given the better jobs within this system one might think they are blessed by a good life, but if one is stuck with the crap jobs which make the whole thing work they might think this whole thing is hell, which is the old "house" vs "field" slave dichotomy.

The South has become the scapegoat figure in a weird ritual whereby people of Ellis Island or Hart-Celler extraction prove their Americanness by hating on a subculture of Heritage Americans that is out of favor with America's ruling elite.

They were freed, they experienced free life, they said they looked upon slavery favorably and one even said he wishes to serve his master after he dies.

Some did. Others didn't.

In fact people didnt even feel a patriotism towards the "country" they felt a patriotism to their state which they saw as primary over the country itself.
Britain never saw the colonies as anything more than a dominion, it was never considered "theirs" thats why the colonies werent permitted to influence England itself.
>Why wouldnt you want to be a slave
because I have an IQ of 139 and my maximum potential would be capped as a slave, I am also capable of governing myself without needing to life in an adult daycare.
those enslaved in the 1860s.... well you know how they are, they arent like me.
>its not a big deal
Taxes arent a big deal either, I dont want to pay them, yet I pay them because thats the lot in life I was dealt.

Why shouldnt blacks just be slaves since thats the lot they were dealt in life? Maybe they should have fought harder? My ancestors won the civil war, why shouldnt we enslave blacks again?

Cool! black people by virtue of being formerly enslaved should not be allowed to get a say on slavery because they are biased due to their ethnic background.

Virginia and NC were literally the first to declare independence. The british lost a majority of their casualties fighting in the south. The british fought a war of abolition and ended slavery in NYC (which was 1/3 slaveholders) which they occupied during the war. The Americans pushed to have their slaves returned during the Treaty of Paris and the british rejected this.

>Those "old stock anglos" sure didn't care about their fellow poor Whites since they really really wanted Negro slave labour.
Poor whites weren't jumping to compete for cotton picking jobs with slaves. It was the opposite, freed slaves immediately started crowding southern cities and competing for white jobs after the war leading to race riots in Memphis/New Orleans.

Not to mention that the two areas in America that have the most persistent white poverty are Kentucky and West Virginia, the two southern states that sided with the Union. Didnt work out for them it seems.


OP is right and the recent trend in academic history will use this obvious parallel to destroy the legacy of the founding. In two generations all of you left wing fags will be celebrating the removal of Washington & Jefferson.

>>16829144
Slaves did jobs whites didnt want. Thats the entire reason they were imported in the first place. Most indentured servants would rather go off and become smallholders after their servitude was up. The reason that poor whites didn't like slavery was because they didnt like living around large populations of blacks. Abolition only worsens these issues.

The real problem for Libtards is that the new anti-white left who have taken hold of Academia will use this paradox to attack every aspect of American Patriotism. The current academic view of the Civil war even promotes the idea that Blacks freed themselves LOL and libshit white historians are too pathetic to disagree. Remember when they gave mild criticism to the 1619 project and immediately apologized.

I shit you not when I say the Jefferson Davis will be vindicated. The new anti-white left has been pretty consistent in that his views are the legitimate legacy of the founders vision.

It was the Northeastern merchants who ran the slave trade and built their wealth off selling enslaved labor to planters at better margins.BTW this was gone by 1808 so nobody supported this anymore by the time of the Civil War.

>just pay whites more money to do these jobs?
sorry I forgot libtards simultaneously can't understand history or economics. You can't just decide to suspend basic supply and demand. The absence of slavery would just mean a glut of black free labor which would still drive down white wages.

The only way out of this system was to push slaves out of the south and into the southwest. This was the goal of Jefferson and Madison who became ardent slave expansionists during the Missouri question. The idea that market forces would cause soil exhaustion in the southeast and push slavery south and west. Both Virginia and Maryland were able to decrease their slave reliance between 1800-1860.

If anything, it was the north that was impoverishing the south. The southern planters were essentially just overseers for northern capitalists. The southern economy produced the raw materials for northern industry (mostly textiles). When the south attempted to industrialize, they would just be targeted and out-competed by northern industry. The tariff protected northern industry from Europe but nothing was protecting southern industry from the north.

I could get further into the weeds on the economic dimensions but it would probably be a waste of time on /his/.

Also Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia are commonly thought to be the worst states for poverty and they were the Deep South.
>>
>>16829512
Are you just willfully ignoring the concept of different job sectors? Slavery kept blacks out of white jobs. After emancipation, freedman left plantations (work whites didnt want) and entered towns and competed for white jobs. This was literally the cause of the Memphis riots. Poor whites who lived in areas with a large slave population did not want to compete with free black labor.

>Also Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia are commonly thought to be the worst states for poverty
Yes because you're a ignorant foreigner who says "labour". Those states are poor because they have a high % black population (who are in poverty in every state they live in). However for white poverty, the upper south is worse, specifically WV & KY.

>One of them killed their countrymen for a lack of representation and oppressive taxation. The Confederates killed people because they lost an election after a century of everyone else kowtowing to their political dick swinging.
This is what gets me about the Confederates and 1776 comparisons. The issues of 1776 were like decades long issues with a lot of back and forth. Both sides sent petitions, trying to find a peaceful resolution. In Parliament's case, they simply treated the colonist as inferiors. Like consider that the Royal Proclamation of 1763 was 13 years before 1776, that forbade colonists was expanding westward. And the major taxes like the Sugar/Stamp Acts were in the 1760s. The colonists literally did everything they could to protest until outright military revolt.

Compare that to the CSA. There were tensions, sure, but they had navigated the Mexican American War, the Missouri Compromise, etc... So what changed? Lincoln won the Presidency without a single southern electoral vote, and the South chimped out. South Carolina and others seceded before Lincoln even took office, with several explicitly stating hostile anti-slavery actions by the North... by Lincoln... who wasn't even in fucking office yet.

Side note, but official Republican platform was the prevention of expansion of slavery into any newly admitted states and the territories. The Republicans did not want to emancipate current slaves in slave holding states since everyone knew it was constitutional. The South chimped out because they knew their stranglehold on politics was waning, and they would lose the long game... for slavery... which Lost Cause-ers later decry as a dying institution anyways.

>However for white poverty, the upper south is worse, specifically WV & KY.

Yeah, this is very true. Whites in the Deep South tend to be quite middle class. White poverty is rarer there. Kentucky, West Virginia and parts of southwest Virginia however have tons of really bad white poverty, that's on a scale unimaginable to most people who aren't familiar with that region.

Its also where things like country music, bluegrass and NASCAR originated, something most people associate with the Deep South even if it was really from the Upper South at first and usually markers in Southern society until idk the 1950s or so as being low class.

>the Federalists compleatly put down, and despairing of ever rising again under the old division of whig and tory, devised a new one, of slave-holding, & non-slave-holding states, which, while it had a semblance of being Moral, was at the same time Geographical, and calculated to give them ascendancy by debauching their old opponents to a coalition with them. Moral the question certainly is not, ... however it served to throw dust into the eyes of the people and to fanaticise them, while to the knowing ones it gave a geographical and preponderant line of the Patomac and Ohio, throwing 14. states to the North and East, & 10. to the South & West. with these therefore it is merely a question of power: but with this geographical minority it is a question of existence. for if Congress once goes out of the Constitution to arrogate a right of regulating the condition of the inhabitants of the states, it’s majority may, and probably will next declare that the condition of all men within the US. shall be that of freedom. in which case all the whites South of the Patomak and Ohio must evacuate their states; and most fortunate those who can do it first. and so far this crisis seems to be advancing.

The Constitution was a compromise document between the 13 colonies, the principle concessions were nationalized trade negotiations and slavery. So new england got disproportionate representation in trade and virginia got disproportionate representation through slavery. new england was so elitist they tore their hair out over having to go to philadelphia, which they viewed as a backwater.

When the capitol was moved to the potomac (its present location), they viewed it as a personal insult. This, along with the south's expansion, and the 1807 embargo caused a schism in national politics that lead to the civil war. These are the people that until the bitter end hated the average voter, especially after the expansion of enfranchisement, to the point that even pretending to care about the average person in order to win elections caused them discomfort.

One only has to look at South America, where the agrotycoon aristocracy was never challenged, and you will realize exactly what awaited an America where these people were never dis-empowered. Pic related.

This is actually hindsight, and has nothing to do with the real reason the war was fought. It is as irrelevant and "missing the point" as State's Rights and Slavery arguments are. The real point of the war was a clash between two distinct cultures that served to draw a line in the sand under the same flag. The American civil war was a clash between these two different ways of life, inevitable from the very start. No more, no less.

this doesnt really matter when the difference is measured in sq acreage rather than how many personal jets does one own.
I agree there was way less potential for an industrial revolution, but this also means they do not have the disadvantages of undergoing the industrial revolution such accelerating pollution, inflation, the dismantling of regional localism, and the emergence of a "zeugitai" like caste that would agitate for a more democratic political structure.
ironically the South was the only subset of the English that werent obsessed with the generation of wealth thus why they held onto sustenance over profit even as they could have very easily transitioned into an incredibly wealthy industrial nation like the political North did.

Also: What a retarded comparison. The South was not a colony of the USA (not before the Reconstruction at least) like the Thirteen Colonials were for England, the South was part of the Union with the North and they still had an advantage in congress by using fucking slaves as numbers of seats/votes being that they were not American citizens. Furthermore, the Founding Fathers only wanted to annex Cuba while dixietards wanted the entire Caribbean.

wrong
over half of all west virginians who fought in the civil war fought for the confederacy
the upper south was split but it was not anti confederate. just as many fought for the confederacy as fought against it
The south is literally the only good part of america seeing as it wasn't the result of autistic puritans or hippy quakers but english cavaliers and north english/lowland scots border reivers

The economics are literally the same.

Look, recently people have gone crazy with sanctuary city nonsense but there was a good few decades where illegal immigration went largely unnoticed and it was just people trying to bring in people to undercut wages.

The Democrats both back then and now were trying to protect their cheap labour because they don't want to pay the full citizen wage. I have no desire to hold someone in a lower station than me. I want to create a society of citizens without citizens bringing in non-citizens to undermine other citizens.

Ironic, the policies that filled the US with dysgenics were pushed by northern progressives that didn't give a fuck what happened to the US if they flooded the US with coolies as long as their government grant embezzled railroad they won in a poker game got finished

yes it was. The South relied on the North. It was a colony tier economy

Most of them bullshit, only the elite. Do you base a person being "descended from aristocrats and lords" based on their surname? If so, it's wrong. People had their surnames to LARPing their prestige, not because they were royal descendants (something similar happened here in Brazil: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silva). Being a rich slave owner as well as being bourgeois does not make you an aristocrat, but an oligarch.
>Disproves the myth that slaves were oppressed
I said many, not all, you functionally illiterate. If southern slavery was good for all of them, the Underground Railroad wouldn't exist. It is logical that these slaves who were seen as family members were domestic servants rather than the plantation workers who were the majority.
>if white southerners are mullattos then why do they cluster and collate almost exactly with englishmen?
Why do you compare them to Englishmen when the British Empire had already abolished Slavery when the Civil War happened? You know that if the USA were still their colony, that would have made white southerners more mulatto than they are today.

that's not what a colony means, but oddly enough you shitposting retards arrived at sort of the right conclusion. The south was an economic colony of the north. The north tariffed their importation of industry to keep them from competing

after the war the north took them over and embezzled hundreds of millions building railroads into the middle of nowhere to try and maximize their cotton output

The difference, my dear retarded Dixietard, is that those non-white countries that the British Empire owned were A FUCKING OCEAN AWAY FROM THEM, that is, British non-whites, at least not part of the elite who were not educated in the United Kingdom for indoctrination purposes, could not go easily to the United Kingdom unlike non-whites from the Golden Circle who would simply cross overland via America Central or sea in the Caribbean like the Marielitos.

Even you won't believe this nonsense, the Union had 32,000 men from West Virginia, while the Confederacy only had 9,000-10,000. Less than double the Union.

They literally did not pay tax. This is fully a thing Southerners invented after the civil war was over. The southern states didn't even believe this during the actual conflict.
