I’m fucking bawling
How can war be civil?
>>215496245war does not determine who is right, only who is left
>>215496245Lincoln killed 2 million Americans for an outcome that was inevitable. No slaves had been imported to America for 60 years prior to the civil war.
>>215496320Honest Abe didn't start the war
>>215496320Lincoln didn't start the war
>>215496320it was the south that started the war, not lincoln>no slaves had been imported to America for 60 yearsNot legally, but slaves continued to be imported, and there were millions of people born into slavery during that 60 years.
Honestly the best documentary of all time
the reading of the sullivan ballou letter fucking destroys me every timewhy must men fight?
Ashokan Farewells makes me well up every time I hear it.
>>215496409>Honest Abe didn't start the warYeah he did. Fort Sumter is the most obvious false flag operation in history.The Union occupy Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, the confederacy's most important port. They then proceed to fire cannonballs at any ships entering the harbor effectively blockading the South's most important port. This is somehow not an act of war according to the Union. The southerns ask the Union soldiers to leave peacefully. They refuse and continue to fire at incoming ships. The south then informs the soldiers in the fort that if they don't leave in a week they'll fire on them at which point the south spends a week setting up cannons while the soldiers still refuse to leave. After a week there is an exchange of fire and NO ONE DIES, one person is injured and the Union troops having accomplished their false flag mission peacefully leave the fort and return to the north without interference.Lincoln uses this as a justification to invade the south and start a war that kills 650,000 people and 160 years later our history books are still teaching you that the south started the war because they fired on Fort Sumter.
>>215496796It endures because young men love it and old men love it in them.
>>215496863What kind of fucking stupid nimrod are you? The Union didn't surrender THEIR fort in THEIR country. The Confederacy wasn't recognized or considered valid by the US government, thus it was a rebellion.
>>215496863That's not what a false flag is, what you're describing is pretext. A false flag is when one country's forces pretend to be the enemy and fire on themselves as a justification for war. (often when they just so happened to have an invasion force supplied for an offensive when this totally unexpected and unprovoked "attack" happened)The Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931 started with a false flag attack where the Japanese army blew up their own railroad, and so did the Nazi invasion of Poland in 1939, where German soldiers in Polish uniforms blew up some German installations and vehicles (that happened to be evacuated at the time).
>>215496943>THEIR fort in THEIR country.When you're firing on civilian trade ships I think the pretext that you're defending your country is out the window.
>>215496943Yeah, and King George III was well within his rights to execute as many colonists as he pleased. I'm glad to see you yanks finally admitting that your rebellion is unjustified.
>>215496863Don't forget Lincoln sent the one and only company of trained niggers in the army at the time to retake fort Sumpter. After the southerners peacefully occupied it. To protest an insane tax policy.If the southern states wanted to be blameless they shouldn't have all succeeded prior to Sumpter. But everything else is on Lincoln.
In the most redpill explanation why did the south lose?
>>215497496They lost because they didnt have an industrial base. But you are asking the wrong questions. Why did plantation society threaten the north so much they had to put a 200% tax on cotton?
>>215497592Because using slave labor is inhumane
>>215497592slavery is immoral and evil
>>215494968But enough about the war, let me tell you how it's all about DA BLACKS.
>>215497716it's sad because fields and bearss were actual historians, unlike foote everyone remembers and memes
>>215497683Powers are not moved by morality. That's the bs, the pretext to get you on side.Try again. Why?
>>215498308j.. jews?
>>215498348The jews were mostly in the South, interestingly enough. They moved there from the Caribbean. Jews wouldn't become majority northern until the 1880s with more immigration from Eastern Europe.
>>215496409>>215496565This is the horseshit taught in Yankee schools?
>>215494968I am balling
All time best anecdotes
>>215494968Why does Homer Simpson HATE Ken Burns so much
>>215496863> unilaterally secede from a country> gets mad when said country tries to fight backAnon, I..
>>215498837>the north fought the war with one hand tied behind its backunironically what did he mean by this?
>>215499345He means they weren’t engaged in an existential war for survival like the South was
