Who wanted to go to war? It surely wasn't the South. It was the North.
And please don't go on a rant about Ft. Sumter, where no one died at all.
Look, 650,000 American soldiers died because the North refused to give up the south. Abraham Lincoln was the greatest tyrant this country has ever known. And he didn't care one bit for black people, and wanted to kick them out of the country.
And the northern states after the war wanted absolutely nothing to do with these newly freed blacks. Though they were fine keeping them in the southern states and giving them voting rights, because they knew the blacks would vote for them.
About 5,000 people died in over 100 years of lynchings. You can't even compare that with 650,000 killed in four years because of the despotic government under the radical Republicans.

You mean, Lincoln wanted to kick the slaves out of the country instead of keeping 'em picking cotton? That rat bastard!

So the American flags, from 1776 to 1865, which flew over a nation that legally allowed slavery are NOT symbols of racism and slavery?
I get it.

I think the difference is is that those who stood behind the American flag said, "This slavery thing ain't working. Better stop it, because it's a bit inhumane"...."Hey, South Carolina? What? You wanna join us in ending slavery? Kiss our grits!".....that's the difference.
Why does that matter at this point? I've got nothing against the Emancipator.
It matters, because they believe that if they can get you to see what a meanie President Lincoln was(or at least how they see him)....well, maybe you won't be so tough on the poor, just wanting to keep our sovereignty against the evil northern aggressors Confederacy. It's their apologetics game. And game is over.
