But you didn't get sucked in. This is your only post on this thread. You can choose your ignore threads you don't like or post information that supports what you believe.
I would suggest you dig through the archives of CivilWarTalk and you will find more answers to your question than you can read for a couple of years. That is if you are serious or just flaming the thread.
One gets the feeling that it's more about Southern white folks than it is about black folks. A Yankee tradition that dates to the Civil War.
Yankees outlawed slavery at great cost before the war. The Southern dons tried to imposed slavery on the Yankees and when that failed continued enslavement of human beings as a slave nation then spilled great amounts of blood trying to keep it.
Oh, I think the answers are obvious. I think this whole thread is an exercise in trolling by certain people.
Keep trolling. But I wouldn't go around calling other people hypocrites. Your own position isn't exactly invulnerable to that charge. But thanks for not challenging the assumption that you want all Confederate monuments to be taken down because of their connection to slavery. That's progress of a sort.
One gets the impression that this is about certain southern white folks whining about Yankees while failing to examine themselves critically, which is a tradition that predates the Civil War.
At least they get their own thread.
For which I thank you. I think that henceforth I'll ignore it as unproductive.
Good advice.
