[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The other thing people like OP (who may also be the 11:07 and 12:21) do is they say other's statements are false without pointing to actual facts that make other's statements false ("Revisionist history, It's been bandied about incorrectly for so long that you believe it to be true - just opinions with no factual backup), they call names or talk down to people (You need to learn the difference between emotion and facts, Please go read some real history - these are just put downs), and they also see things as separate entities, purely political is the example in this case. Nothing is purely anything. How do people like this graduate from high school? Have they ever initiated a pro and con argument before on a topic that discusses an item thoroughly with no complete right or wrong conclusion? Notice that OP also has never responded as to whether it was also taught that Lee had some un-respected parts of his legacy. In her mind it seems Lee must come across as purely evil to fit her agenda. God forbid anything good about him is mentioned as well and he comes across nuanced and human.[/quote]

12:21 here.  I am not the OP.  No, I'm not going to engage with someone who says the civil war was about cotton or the economy and not slavery.  I'm not going to cite facts or sources.  If you want to, go for it.  If you are 12:17, feel free to continue spouting whatever nonsense makes you happy.  [/quote]

This is not the first time you've quoted me saying my words incorrectly. You didn't notice my words "founding fathers" and quoted me incorrectly there and you also didn't notice these sentences which clearly show the relationship of slavery to cotton. You have an agenda which seems to be prohibiting you from reading with an open mind.

"While the common thinking of liberals today is that the civil war was over slavery. It is more nuanced. It was over cotton's prosperity to which the south thought slavery and states rights was essential for keeping that prosperity. The south kept wanting more states rights but then contradicted themselves with the Dred Scott case when they asked for federal government intervention. While the south put slavery into their declarations of seceding, this was partly their belief and partly because of political and economic reasons over cotton"[/quote]
