[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The southern states did not tear the country apart. The northern states did that. The whole war was unnecessary.
Southerners were not more racist. Northern states were dependent on the cotton produced by southern states. Even still today Milwaukee in Wisconsin remains the most segregated city in America[/quote]

Gee, in my history book the southern states signed declarations of secession.

And the North did fine without your cotton during the war.  [/quote]

[b]Southerners like to promote revisionist history, calling it the "War of Northern Aggression" when in fact it was the South who first used violence, with its attack on Fort Sumter - They love to say it wasn't about slavery but instead it was about states' rights - omitting the fact that the "right" they were arguing over was the right to keep slaves, and they love to claim that slavery was on its way out in the south anyhow when in fact what it came to blows over was a dispute over whether slavery should be allowed to be expanded into the westward territories as they got statehood.

Fact is, the Confederate flag is as intractably linked to slavery as the Nazi flag is linked to the genocide of Jews during the holocaust.[/b][/quote]

+1. Everyone knows what the Confederate flag stands for. [/quote]
