Even the biggest leftist history cucks agree that the union soldiers committed extremely cruel acts on civilians in some parts of the southern side, so the portrayal is accurate, it isn't even about "confederates being good guys", it's about the one civilian farmer Clint Eastwood plays who has to experience union soldiers murdering his child and raping and murdering his wife, which they did irl plenty, so he grows a hatred on them and joins the confederacy.

I noticed that incels don't really know what to do with confederates anymore. The old guard of /pol/ and classic white supremacist angle is that they did nothing wrong, but the post-2016 groyper/fuentez-style cry about them because they had a Jewish cabinet member.

It just shows the deep ideological rot that has taken place in the right in recent years, where jew-obsessed groyperism essentially replaces classic white nationalism. So muslim are HECKIN BASED because they're anti-semitic but the confederates are bad because they had a jewish cabinet member and apparently slavery is a jewish conspiracy and blacks are our friends.

Yes, because the White race stands superior above all others.
Personally I would simply murder all the men and force the women into sex slavery, that would be to their benefit because they will taste superior BWC.

The book the film is based on was written by a Confederate apologist, but the movie itself isn't pro South and the villains are mostly common thugs who just so happened to join the Union

slavery is the natural order of things. Humans had slaves from the beginning of their existence until the 20th century. Muh jews is a poor excuse for why it's wrong when it's the human condition to dominate the weak.
>>
>>218200158
>Also by bringing Niggers inside the country you now have a crime wave that could have been avoided if the Jews didn't bring them over.
If you took out the slave ships run by jews the number of black slaves brought to the US goes from 470,000 to 452,000 (4% of slave ships were owned by Jews)

also, those few jews that did trade slaves didn't force whites to take them at gunpoint they sold them for money because the whites wanted them.
>>
>>218199332
other way around. Yankee business owners (Lincoln's primary support base) wanted slaves to be free because it meant they could flood the northern labor market with scab workers and drive industrial wages down.
>>
>>218200259
This is why I also wrote that slavery is economically worse than just simply paying workers a set salary, if slavery would be superior to common salary based economy, the third world shitholes that still practice slavery would be economic powerhouses, but no, it's the free market capitalism countries.
>>
>>218200158
we didn't bring them here, the British French and Spanish did. one of the first things the Union did after independence was ban the importation of new slaves.

>>218198798

Abraham Lincoln had no interest in freeing the slaves. The Civil War was initiated when the South wanted to succeed. The rest of America needed the Southern states for their produce.

When Abraham Lincoln made his big speech and signed a bill freeing the slaves he was on record stating that he didn't want the blacks mixing with the Whites and that he apparently saw blacks as inferior. He also only freed the slaves from states that were in rebellion, deliberately leaving those border states that supported the Union with enslavement.

If white people want there to also be an acknowledgement that Whites also Ended Slavery, thats fine too, just as long as we can be specific. It was the norther whites. Here are the people that voted for the ending of slavery. Here are the abolitionists that fought to end it, etc. The disgusting retard southern fuck face traitor states had absolutely nothing to do with it and if Lincoln had let them Succeed it would be America's North Korea today.

The way you said that, and your inability to understand what I mean makes me think you really don't know what you're talking about. What other race gets shit on more than White people for slavery? None. Arab had more slaves, White people were slaves during the Trans Atlantic slave trade. So yes, slavery is used a WEAPON for the basis to attack White people and to demonize them to the point it's okay to be outright racist toward them.
>>
>>218209207
>If white people want there to also be an acknowledgement that Whites also Ended Slavery, thats fine too, just as long as we can be specific. It was the norther whites.
Many southern whites, including those who fought for the Confederacy, wanted to end slavery as well. The problem is that you can't just "end slavery." The rapid change on the economy is obvious, but another factor that made it easy to get rid of slavery in the North is that there weren't that many to begin with. The South had the vast majority of them, and if you simply end the institution, you end up with millions of Africans running around.

Most abolitionists were also in favor of repatriation, but they worked on a small scale. Lincoln wanted repatriation, but he deemed it virtually impossible to do. The North was less affected by this, but to the South it was a huge threat.

>Before proceeding, let me say I think I have no prejudice against the Southern people. They are just what we would be in their situation. If slavery did not now exist among them, they would not introduce it. If it did now exist amongst us, we should not instantly give it up. This I believe of the masses North and South. Doubtless there are individuals on both sides, who would not hold slaves under any circumstances; and others who would gladly introduce slavery anew, if it were out of existence. We know that some Southern men do free their slaves, go North, and become tiptop Abolitionists; while some Northern ones go South, and become most cruel slave-masters.
>>
>>218209568
>When Southern people tell us they are no more responsible for the origin of slavery than we, I acknowledge the fact. When it is said that the institution exists, and that it is very difficult to get rid of it, in any satisfactory way, I can understand and appreciate the saying. I surely will not blame them for not doing what I should not know how to do myself. If all earthly power were given me, I should not know what to do, as to the existing institution. My first impulse would be to free all the slaves, and send them to Liberia,-to their own native land. But a moment's reflection would convince me, that whatever of high hope, (as I think there is) there may be in this, in the long run, its sudden execution is impossible. If they were all landed there in a day, they would all perish in the next ten days; and there are not surplus shipping and surplus money enough in the world to carry them there in many times ten days. What then? Free them all, and keep them among us as underlings? Is it quite certain that this betters their condition? I think I would not hold one in slavery at any rate; yet the point is not clear enough to me to denounce people upon. What next? Free them, and make them politically and socially our equals? My own feelings will not admit of this; and if mine would, we well know that those of the great mass of white people will not. Whether this feeling accords with justice and sound judgment, is not the sole question, if, indeed, it is any part of it. A universal feeling, whether well or ill-founded, cannot be safely disregarded. We cannot, then, make them equals. It does seem to me that systems of gradual emancipation might be adopted; but for their tardiness in this, I will not undertake to judge our brethren of the South.
>>
I really hate how the culture war has re-opened the old wound of the Civil War. It's not propaganda to acknowledge that the Union, both in the form of regular standing soldiers (Sherman's march) and irregular militias, committed horrible atrocities against southern civilians. You don't need to be a lost causer to grant half the country the right of humanity, rather than casting everyone south of the mason-dixon as ontologically evil. You can acknowledge the evils of slavery without portraying everyone on the union side as a perfect, morally righteous hero. You can even acknowledge the ancillary issues that led to the civil war without downplaying the importance of slavery.

Attempting to swiftly re-integrate the south and get it back up on its feet was the correct idea. Unfortunately, Reconstruction failed, in no small part due to the people who wanted to punish the south harshly and turn it into a region under perpetual military occupation. Those who unironically argue that the Union should've gone around killing every confederate statesman or officer are unhinged, such an action would've only stunted the United States further and turned a massive chunk of the nation into an entirely parallel culture engaging in malicious non-compliance at best, and constant guerilla warfare at worst. In other words, being punitive rather than pursue reconciliation would've turned the U.S.A. into a white mirror of its southern neighbors.

Northerners were mainly motivated by a fear that the South would find a way to bring blacks to the North if the planters weren't stopped, and they were told that emancipation, the civil rights amendments, etc would only affect the South and would help keep blacks in the South where they belonged. Then massive numbers of blacks moved north anyway during the Gilded Age, which is a huge reason popular support for Reconstruction evaporated.

reminder that the record for amount of cotton picked in a day by a black slave (plantation owners actually kept track of that stuff for friendly competitions back in the day) was recently beaten in a few hours by a guy who wanted to see how difficult it was. the real reality of it is black slaves were lazy fucks who spent all day dancing and singing in the fields and got given free food and housing in exchange. slavery was bad because of how woefully inefficient it was; it actively held the southern economy back

It was no High Plains Drifter and it was certainly no Fistful of Dollars. It was not as overrated as The Unforgiven but also not as good as The Unforgiven.
