Slavery would have taken care of itself. Look at countries like Brazil:

Slavery collapsed in Brazil after being abolished in the Brazilian state of Ceara in 1884. Slaves escaped to Ceara, and a fugitive slave law that was hastily passed was largely ignored. The value of slaves fell dramatically, and within four years the Brazilian government had acknowledged the reality of the situation by enacting immediate and uncompensated emancipation.

You see, secession would’ve actually helped the North and reduced the value of Slaves to the South. Not to mention invention of farm equipment and other innovations.

You big government people that praise them for their efforts fail to see how much damage they really do with their intervention.

You have in inject love and peace, you do not force it. Don’t ever try to argue with this law of nature.

P-Mama reads like a public school history textbook.

They say that the winners of the war get to write the history books. Good thing I know how to read both sides of the story and decide for myself.

when you can fly a symbol that is ANTI-American along side of the stars and stripes….

What could be more American than fighting a tyrannical federal government overstepping a state’s rights? Have you ever read the constitution?

“The slaves that escaped to the North, you’re darn right they wanted them shipped back to their plantations.”

Of course they did. They owned them. Lincoln wanted to pay the slave owners and ship the slaves back to Africa. The plan didn’t fly.

“enema you’re wrong. The attitudes before the civil war were nearly at a boiling point because the south were angry that the slaves were being allowed to stay instead of being shipped back.”

Wrong about what?
Are you saying the South wanted the slaves to be shipped back? That’s crazy talk.

P mom how is voicing an opinion about a flag racist? show me in my posts where I said one thing that was racist. BTW If you read your history you will find that Lincoln stated that if he could preserve the union with out freeing a single slave he would do so and b) the emacipation proclamation only appplied to slaves that as Lincoln said were in rebellion.

we can also learn lessons from the civil war- about where our jobs are located. We seem to have forgotten one side nearly lost because we had no ability to make items, all the suppliers were on one side and the factories were on the other.

enema you’re wrong. The attitudes before the civil war were nearly at a boiling point because the south were angry that the slaves were being allowed to stay instead of being shipped back. The tarrif thing was related to slavery and the goods manufactured by them. When Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin came out showing the horrors of slavery- that took the fence riders to a new level.

I think I know who Free is…and if it is who I think it is, he was banned from the SJ forum for his racist language.

He made all the same excuses for his flag, defended it defended it as not racist, and then when Obama got the nomination- he went on a racist tirade and everyone who defended the position with him was shocked.

And I sat there and said- I told you so.

Oh and one last thing,I apologize if my opinions upset you but they are just that I have no animopsity against you personally,in fact there are somethings I agree with you on and others not so much

Chas,
Thanks for proving my point. It is people like you on the left AND the right that have this country so divided that I’m afraid we are on a long down hill run unless somethiing changes

By: Freebird1971

Freebird1971 — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 09:09:43 +0000

Oh and Chas please enlighten me on what my flying the stars and bars says about my patriotism? I would realy like to kknow since according to you I’m UnAmerican,I dare say I could say the same about you since you are one to deny a person’s right to free expression.

Freebird1971 — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 09:07:19 +0000

I served the American flag Chas, and under that flag I have the right to freely express my opinons just as you do. The only difference I refuse to get my knickers in a knot

By: Freebird1971

Freebird1971 — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 09:05:15 +0000

As I said Chas your opinion is no more or less of value than mine. Here is a thought try to be civil. BTW where did I say I was right wing? please point that out to me and I will make corrections.

By: Chas

Chas — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 08:33:15 +0000

With all due lack of respect, Freebird, flying that thing anywhere NEAR Old Glory, says a whole lot about the projected feelings you have about your country… Before you go bashing on liberals or Dems, go look in the mirror, and see how much of an american YOU are, when you can fly a symbol that is ANTI-American along side of the stars and stripes….

And, dont you EVER come after me with your Right Wing trash talk again!! Cause when/if you do…. I will throw your Unamerican Flag Waving right back at ya!!

Good day to you!!

Chas,

With all due respect your opinon on the Confederate flag is just that your opinon,trying to prove your point in all caps does not make your opinion more or less valid than mine. As for me I will continue to proudly dispplay the Stars and Bars undernaeath my American flag to remind me of my familie’s heritage, and if you don’t like it then well I guess that issue is on your side of the street not mine.
