The Confederacy faced the same problems with munitions, recruitment, money, and logistics as the colonists when they revolted against Britain
>Britain would have sided with them if they had been willing to give up slavery, the British publics biggest sticking point
>if the Colonists had failed Britain would have been right to impose a new government on them
>the Confederacy lost and continued to chimpout with guerilla warfare, therefore Reconstruction was justified just as Britain would have been justified in restructuring the colonies if they had lost
Prove me wrong

History is devoid of morality. At least on the level of national and international politics.

The North were in the right because they won, same with the colonials. Had it been reversed the “right” side would also be.

From a moral perspective the colonials were in the wrong for treason, but morals don’t win wars.

the colonists were right because the bongs were pieces of shit for trying to take our weapons of war we were planning to do terrorism with

They were literally using colonials to offset losses by quartering troops on private property. They were censoring speaking out in opposition to currency reform that was entirely detrimental to the colonies and beneficial to a political and economic monopoly. And they were being taxed without representation for a war they never wanted.

It was the complete subjugation of a formerly free people. If it is terrorism to fight that then anyone with a pair of balls and a functioning brain in history is a terrorist.

yeah, no shit, that's why we stole the canons so we could do terrorism with them. the battle of concord was literally over the fact we stole canons with the intent to do terrorism and the bongs marched to concord to seize the stolen canons and accidently set concord on fire when destroying the canons
also you forgot that the bongs got rid of the Massachusetts legislature for a governor general, a legislature that had existed for like 100 years prior to the bongs disbanding it

I hate commies but nobody in America gave a fuck about it in the 1860's. The 48ers were good soldiers anyway.
