    Maybe I spoke out of context, what I meant was that the high producing crops were in the South. And that was a major reason Lincoln went crazy when the South seceded.

    Careful with the insults.

    Are there any monuments to Lincoln?

    Of course not.

    If it's locals taxpayers who approved the statue and placement, what you or I think doesn't matter. Voters put it up, voters have to bring it down.

    How is that? It seems spot on to me.

    And if this is about history, where are the monuments to Lincoln and Grant?

    Give him a break, he probably still celebrates Abraham Lincoln's birthday. These kinds of people only hate what they taught to hate.

    The extension of slavery into the West was what the warmongering pro-slavery tyrants in the Midwest were all about, too. Certainly, many in the South shared this interest, too.

    Of course, that doesn't alter my position about men like Brown and Ruffin and their central role in instigating that conflict.

    Lincoln had blacks shot for asking for equal pay after finally being allowed to join the Union Army. Some were shot, some were imprisoned. All for wanting equal pay, something Lincoln didn't think blacks should have. But I'm sure we'll keep his statues up.

    Actually, the Forces of Special Snowflakery are attacking the monuments to our most overrated Founding Father:

    If they keep erasing history, it's going to repeat itself. I would imagine there are millions of patriots like myself who won't put up with this bullshit much longer.

    As for your claims about Lincoln, show me the evidence. I think you're just making this up.

    It depends on whether or not someone has the ability to read old history that hasn't been revised. I have a feeling most of them refuse to because they prefer the revised versions. Accurate tellings and depictions can be found on the Sons of Confederate Veterans website. Our membership fees help pay for a lot of the old books.

    So your claims can only be found in crackpot sources. :rolleyes:

    What a surprise. And I notice that you aren't willing directly to respond to direct questions. What a shock.

    Other people have offered to have monuments placed on private land, and have done so.

    I guess no one cared enough to save your beloved statue.

    Gimme a ****ing minute. I'm making my way through the thread and I haven't gotten to your posts yet. Have you ever read about the Civil War in a book produced before 1990? I bet all the sources prior to then are crackpot sources and the only real source is a revised version.

    So being a slave owner doesn't matter anymore, only whether or not you stood against a tyrannical government?

    Secession in 1864 wasn't a treasonous move.

    Well many folks weren't even considered as citizens or voters when those statues were put up and many couldn't vote either.

    Wow... You don't care about slaves being raped unless it was by an American who owned slaves south of the Mason-Dixon Line...??? I'm literally shocked.

    Exactly. It is shameful to see history being rewritten, revised, and/or erased. Ignorance now abounds and is spreading like cancer, and most peoples' Civil War "knowledge" is limited to "Southern slave owners BAAAADDDDDD!!!!"

    Nobody is honoring a traitor. It doesn't matter how many times you call the Confederates "traitors," it still doesn't make it true.
