>Wasn’t even from the South but was more pro-Confederacy than the Confederacy>Was a rich actor>Decides he just *has* to kill the President to save the SouthWhat was John Wilkes Booth’s problem?
>>18253470He was from Maryland which was very much southern in those days.
He simply had a strong distaste for the African race
>>18253484>hate niggers>kill the only guy who planned on shipping them backSouthern "intellectuals"
>>18253485Probably a jewish plot to prevent this from happening. Why else only kill Lincoln AFTER the war?
>>18253470give this a listenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooqHK3Va4xM
>>18253470He was BASED
>>18253477nobody from his family even owned slaves, though. he was a theatre kid thinking he was an incarnation of Brutus, and an accelerationist buckbroken by ultra-racist secret society who wanted to create their own confederacy with blackjack and hookers.
>>18254497Lincoln was a complete jackass moron lacking self reflection besides "I'm an idiot, but if I just keep doing whatever the hell I want with a smile on my face eventually it will start working out." An actual court jester
>>18253477the east of the state was more Southern but the west was like Pennsylvania; populated with Amish and Mennonite farmers and there were no slaves there.
>>18253470I mean he did it, slavery was saved, expanded to all states and territories and maintained as an institution up to the present day.
>>18254542Fucking alternative dimensions are leaking again goddammit
>>18254560It's what happened. Enslaving people became legal in all states and territories postwar.
>>18254662"up to the present day"
It's funny because postwar writings of Confederate leaders other than Jubal Early pretty much all say they're glad slavery was gone and it was for the best, even when they defended it prewar.
>>18253470which gets me wondering, what are non-southern excuses for harboring the confederate flag? they can't use "heritage"
>>18254671Wow, kinda like all those German generals decided they hated Hitler the whole time but only expressed this view after 1945
>>18255171It's become an almost universally recognized symbol of rebellion all over the world thanks to American culture's global influence.
>>18254671>than Jubal EarlyWhy's he named for the mason thing.
>>18255171It looks cool.
>>18255171In Europe it has associations with rockabilly music and a kind of hyper American redneck rebel image. When I see it in rural Michigan it’s usually accompanied by Trump paraphernalia, Gadsden flags and other “F U libtard” images. Like the swastika it has accumulated a lot of memetic power to instantly provoke a strong reaction.
>>18254671I think this needs more context. It's one thing to be critical of slavery, which has many deleterious effects, and another thing entirely to be slavishly devoted to the nigger jihad waged by New Englanders on this country where white men died by the hundreds of thousands to elevate blacks over them.
