I don't like yankees by battle hymn pf the republic is a breddy good one and I believe that was written to the tune of a folk song about john brown. What a will say of harpers ferry is Lee's handling of it and words on it are yet more proof that he was among the most noble and honorable men this nation ever produced.

george washington's belt buckle (stolen by john brown when he took washington's grand nephew hostage) bent the sword of the marine lieutenant that stormed the firehouse. 1 in 100,000 chance allowed john brown to live and die a martyr instead of dying right there on the spot

in the 2 month period after the failed raid and before his death by hanging at trial, he was visited by countless journalists and politicians from both the north and south. he became a celebrity and wasted no time using his platform to get his point across. and he never got tired from speaking nonstop to his jail visitors including southern politicians too. pic related. he was wounded in the raid so he was laying down on a cot

You know it's interesting, the reason that happened is because of a Jew named Francis Bannerman who got a contract to supply swords, firearms, and beans to the US military. He supplied notoriously bad equipment but somehow wasn't charged with fraud. Later he took his "winnings" and invested in the US's first comprehensive sporting goods company, it survived until WWI or so. Of course it was, also, all cheap garbage that he sold in that new business too.

You don't oppose shit, you actively benefit from it.
You would renounce things that you consider evil, unless you are a hypocritical retard, in which case your opinion matters shit.
I don't consider it barbaric, because it's a fact that since the beginning of humankind, we've used slaves for everything. It's part of our nature. And we'll keep using humans as slaves until we can turn machines into slaves.
In fact, the entirety of the current problems of the world is that NPC cattle such as yourself refuses to see this fact, so when EU/American technocrats bring their new slaves, you look the other way because "slavery was abolished!". If you retards actually saw it for how it was, aka bringing retards with barely any cognitive function to serve as a new underclass, you would follow your own claims and forbid those at power to get them to come to the West.

Abolitionists came in many flavors. Not all felt sympathy for the slaves. Some just wanted an end to the nigger rape and low wages that came along with slavery (the USA was a 90% agricultural economy until after the civil war).

Some wanted blacks dead. Some wanted them back in Africa (Liberia was founded as a home for freed slaves). Some wanted them left to fend for themselves, which is what ultimately happened.

Not all slave owners approved of slavery. They were forced to buy slaves to remain competitive, the same way today's businesses are forced to outsource or die.

Slavers were the BLM of the 19th century. Nigger loving slavers beat, tortured, killed, and burned down the property of abolitionists all over the country.

>As Owen Lovejoy gave his speech condemning slavery, several Democrats in the audience, brandishing pistols and canes, threatened him with physical harm, to which the Republicans present pledged to defend Lovejoy if the Democrats attempted to attack him. In response to the Democrats' threats, Lovejoy stood firm and responded, "I will stand where I please" and "Nobody can intimidate me."

Eventually we had to fight a civil war to bring them to heel. There was no way of talking them out of it. They were completely addicted to niggers.

But that war was a deal with the devil, because the victory of the federal government over states' rights is responsible for most of the ills of our country today.

All slave trade had been outlawed decades before any of this. In fact the confederates literally put in their Constitution verbatim "no importation of anyone of the negro race."

The only question was what to do with those already here. And say what you want about slavery but none of them back then could have had the foresight to guess their own countrymen would do something so crazy as fight a bloody war to turn them loose on everyone.

“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.”
- Abraham Lincoln. 1862

>>524594992
They aren't 'slaves'. Working in a low wage job isn't the same as slavery and it's disingenuous to conflate the two. By your logic the majority of young white Americans are slaves right now because they work menial jobs in Amazon warehouses and similar that they don't particularly enjoy. Or we'd be calling miners 'slaves' too for working dangerous jobs for bad pay, which is worse than making phones in a factory in China.

Words have meanings. Which is it? Are all those things true or are they not?

Lincoln didn't save the union, he collapsed it into a giant amalgamation of federal districts. A union requires constituent parts willingly joining together. Unions arent held together with grapeshot and bayonets. It was not that the Southerners did not love the Union, but that they loved the Constitution more.

>“I can only say that while I have considered the preservation of the constitutional power of the General Government to be the foundation of our peace and safety at home and abroad, I yet believe that the maintenance of the rights and authority reserved to the states and to the people, not only [is] essential to the adjustment and balance of the general system, but the safeguard to the continuance of a free government. I consider it as the chief source of stability to our political system; whereas the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded it.
-Robert E. Lee, 1866

Slavery was of course a fundamental issue underlying the conflict. That much is obvious. But slavery had been a contentious issue for a long time without devolving into a full on war (even though it got close before). What triggered the war was succession.

Now most wars in history can be correctly traced immediately to breakdowns in diplomacy. This was also the case here. Even after succession, the south sent delegations to discuss hotpoints- specifically how to negotiate federal installations in southern states (and the natural objects thereof like ports and bays etc.). The North refused all negotiation on this topic and predictably the dispute over federal forts led to the actual fighting.

But jokes aside it's pretty hard to treat it like some myth created after the fact when people believed it during the war, in the immediate aftermath of the war, right up until today. If anything your view point is the more modern academic revisionist one.

It wasn't fundamental. But nice try at rewriting history.

>Abraham Lincoln was at pains to assure the South that he intended no threat to slavery. He said he understood Southerners and that Northerners would be exactly like them living in the same circumstances. He said that while slavery was not a good thing (which most Southerners agreed with) he had no power to interfere with slavery and would not know what to do if he had the power. He acquiesced in a proposed 13th Amendment that would have guaranteed slavery into the 20th century. Later, he famously told Horace Greeley that his purpose was to save the Union, for which he would free all the slaves, some of the slaves, or none of the slaves. The Emancipation Proclamation itself promised a continuance of slavery to States that would lay down their arms.
>>
>>524598117
Lincoln famously campaigned on "no emancipation without repatriation" when he was criticized as an 'equalizer' (a dirty word at the time). And yet, when the chips were down he did exactly what he vowed not to do... joining a long line of politicians who promised one thing when expedient but do the opposite in reality.

Lincoln also lamented that the common government had no power to use force against states (as documented explicitly by the minutes if the convention and later ratifications of the Constitution). And yet when the chips were down he yet again cast these principles aside.

He vocally rejected many time before the war that he was a "Nationalizer" when this criticism was heaped on him... and yet as soon as the war ended he personally pushed through the National Banking Act and National Cirrency Acts all but creating a defact National Government.

See a trend here? At every turn he did the opposite of the things he said he would do. A familiar habit for lifelong politicians I would say. So don't worry so much about his speech-making, show me his actions instead.

9 We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11 that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me. 1Tim 1:10
11 “The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes anymore— 12 cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; 13 cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and human beings sold as slaves.

14 “They will say, ‘The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your luxury and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.’ 15 The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn 16 and cry out:

>So don't worry so much about his speech-making, show me his actions instead.

Here is Frederick Douglass, the most prominent African American of the 19th century:

“It must be admitted, truth compels me to admit . . . Abraham Lincoln was not, in the fullest sense of the word, either our man or our model. In his interests, in his associations, in his habits of thought, and in his prejudices, he was a white man. He was preeminently the white man’s president, entirely devoted to the welfare of white men. He was ready and willing at any time . . . to deny, postpone, and sacrifice the rights of humanity in the colored people to promote the welfare of the white people of his country.”

What better testimony is needed that emancipation was a by-product, not a goal, of a war of conquest. Let me repeat: emancipation was a by-product of the war, never a goal.
>>
>>524598829
We judge a tree by the fruit it renders- we judge a man by his actions not the testimony of others, if we judged a man by what some others say about him we could all be Satan incarnate and if we judged men by what they said about themsleves we would all be angels.

He has been accused of being an equalizer and a nationalizer. His actions show him unequivocally to have been a nationalizer- a point you haven't attempted to refute. His actions after the war in reguard to reconstruction show him to have been an unequivocal equalizer.
