For my European friends

-It was not a Civil War. It was a War Between The States

-Rich greedy bankers in the North wanted control over the Southern economy. These bankers formed for the Republican party. (They were not conservatives). Under the false veil of "abolition" their goal was to crush the Southern economy to gain control over Western territories and use free white labor in the process. They also planned to increase tariffs on trade with Europe and stifle the free markets.

-Jefferson Davis was pro free market, Lincoln was not

-Jefferson Davis was a conservative, Lincoln was not

-Lincoln was never an abolitionist. He wrote the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, two years after the War started for the Union states , most of which didn't have slaves at that point. The plan was to garner support as a war tactic.

-The South had it's own gradual plan for abolition . It was to be introduced later to avoid , for example a major catastrophe and total economic collapse, otherwise called "Reconstruction"

-At the time of the War, less than 10% of the South's White population owned slaves. Many Negroes had already been freed in their Masters Will. There were already large Freed Negro populations in the South. Some slaves even purcahsed their way to freedom. Indians and Blacks also held slaves

-It wasn't the South that started the War. Ft Sumter belonged to South Carolina. The North would not allow it to go, so the South fought back to take Ft Sumter, after which Lincoln sent 75,000 troops to invade South Carolina. This was why the South is considered on the defensive side . The South was coerced into firing first, so that Mr Lincoln could get his war.

-Only 4 of the 11 Confederate States mention an interest in slavery in their Constitution. The Confederate Constitutions also had a clause to end the Atlantic slave trade

-The War For Southern Independence was believed to be the 2nd American Revolution, whereas the Confederate States were actually the continuation of Real America as our Founding Fathers envisioned , the Unionists were imposters.

-It was a war between Federalists (North ) and Anti Federalists (South)

-Lincoln violated the US Constitution by launching a war in the absence of Congress, arresting dissenters, suspending Habeas Corpus , taking away the 2nd Amendment, and silencing the First

-While almost all the war of was fought in the South and border states such as Maryland, the North was only invaded once- Gettysburg , PA. And that is because the Army of Northern Virginia need shoes and Lee wanted to seize a shoe factory there to get supplies for his weary troops

-General Sherman's army not only burned hundreds of acres of Southern farmland, but also had his troops rape slaves, including free blacks and Southern white women, also forced towns and civilians to starve to death by cutting of supplies and leading to poor drinking water.

-Lee didn't lose the war, he just got tired

-Reconstruction was evil


The victor writes the history books, and the true story may be lost, but generations of Southerners know the truth for which they fought, despite leftists decree of "lost cause" propaganda and their vilification of the Southern army.
God bless General Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Jefferson Davis and all heroes that died with them.

Real America died in 1865.
