No the fight was over states rights. Yes the southerners were in the wrong for owning slaves, it put normal working farmers out of work because how can you complete with slave labor? And they were importing the Africans here which didn't belong here and would later bring HUGE problems.
However Lincoln had no right try to act like a facist dictator, telling them what to do. The constitution of the US does not give the President king powers, although they have been trying to tack those on over the years.
The Southern US average soldier, the ones demonized by the modern American leftist was a million times more civilized than this. The confederacy fought honorably for states rights against the northern agressors.
@gnarley_boot@ForBritain northerners are the practical ones to the point of pedantic. But I guess Americans have mixed with each other to the point of being very similar genetically
@gnarley_boot@ForBritain It’s the worst crime I seen in my lifetime against innocent people. True the US is selling the weapons used to murder the children and civilians
As much as I hate zionism and the state of Israel for being a fraud of a nation. Children should never be fodder for war, in past times, ancient times men fought war on the field of battle, even based Europeans made uniforms for us to distinguish ourselves. But WW1 brought savagery back into war when the use of chemical weapons and the killing of civillians became an okay thing. Napoleon and other rulers/generals before him were right about rules of engagement.
@gnarley_boot@ForBritain well my thesis is that there won’t be any children left in Gaza when this is over. There won’t be anyone at all there. Either displaced or most massacred
