Reflect on the lives lost in a needless and ultimately futile conflict, sure. Memorial Day is a good day for that.
Correct. It was a needless war, and that's why Lincoln is the worst president this country has had. He killed almost a million US citizens for no reason. It could have been avoided.
The soldiers that fought on the side of the South are exactly equal to those who fought on the side of Hitler, only for a different system of racial oppression.
Like those in Boston? The seat of slavery?
German soldiers should be honored just like all others. They fought for their country. That's no different than any other soldier.
If a misspelled word proves your point then I've been proved wrong, if a misspelled word doesn't prove your point then it just means you were being a boorish ass...which one???
No, it means you are just lashing out with a lame excuse for your inability to distinguish between word meanings!
Uhhh, reconmark? Believe me, if it were just a matter of misspelling or typo? I would never have given it a second thought. Hell, I do it all the time.
No, the ISSUE I wanted to address is that you obviously -- for all your lecturing on the history of motivations of the Southern states -- do not even understand -- nor apparently care too -- the differences between "sucession" and "secession" in terms of application as to clarity. For example? It is easy to mispell a word. I do it ALL the time. Oh lord do I EVER! LOL
However? Just to say (after all, I figure a person of your obvious knowledge about history should know this), Tennessee "succeeded" South Carolina in "secession."

Now comes the silly assed excuse.."oh, we only imported slaves to the South because the Northerners forced us to"..really.
ROFLMAO Making an excuse for what? Hell, I didn't even live back then, did you?
The first colony to legalize slavery was Massachusetts. The slave trade was totally in the hands of northern shipping merchants. They made a great living off of it.
Here is the link again! In fact, I am going to directly link something about northern profits on it. And a few other sub-links! You don't like it? Tough shlt.
The South was so spineless they couldn't refuse the importation of human chattel onto privately owned southern farms...Jesus will the deflection ever cease??
UHHmm, exactly which Northern States are celebrating chattel slavery???...right, NONE!!!
Northern slavery is a topic for another thread, it's only brought up by you as a half assed attempt at justifying the backwards society that chose to succeed from the country, turn traitorous, and treat people lower then animals.
All this to maintain wealth and a false sense of racial superiority.
Now, you can go debate with someone else about taxes, importation and all the other revisionist crap you want to, that purports to justify treason.
I'm not foolish enough to debate whether fire is hot enough, and I'm not foolish enough to debate that the South wasn't a society of bigots and selfish whites who wanted to maintain a kingdom based on human toil.
As the old phrase goes, are you getting a bit frustrated and testy and all? GOOD! I will direct you to the posts above for a few other things to get testy and frustrated about!
You have a good evenin', now...and happy reading! You heah?
Actually, I'm not some inbred bigot that believes taking the screen name, that celebrated the torture and lynching of an innocent man was an honorable deed.
Actually my screen name doesn't celebrate Southern whites getting back at the "filthy northern Jew"
Actually my screen name doesn't celebrate the white men who became prominent southerners after undermining their own judicial system. Leo Frank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So why don't you tell us the reason for this screen name??
Yeah, pretty much smacks of a low bred white person.
Pissing on their traitors headstones is a lot more merciful than most of their "heroric" deeds!!
Fort Pillow Massacre
Another officer of the unit, however, and the only surviving officers of the 13th Tennessee Cavalry attested to the characterization that unarmed soldiers were killed in the act of surrendering. However, a Confederate sergeant, in a letter written home shortly after the battle said that "the poor, deluded negroes would run up to our men, fall upon their knees, and with uplifted hand scream for mercy, but were ordered to their feet and then shot down."[14] This account is consistent with the relatively high comparative casualties sustained by race of the defenders.
The blacks and their officers were shot down, bayoneted and put to the sword in cold blood... . Out of four hundred negro soldiers only about twenty survive! At least three hundred of them were destroyed after the surrender! This is the statement of the rebel General Chalmers himself to our informant.[
On April 17, 1864, in the aftermath of Fort Pillow, Grant ordered General Benjamin F. Butler, who was negotiating prisoner exchanges with the Confederacy, to demand that in the exchange and treatment of prisoners, black prisoners had to be treated identically to whites. A failure to do so would "be regarded as a refusal on their part to agree to the further exchange of prisoners, and [would] be so treated by us."[20] This demand was refused and Confederate Secretary of War Seddon in June 1864 stated the confederate position:
I doubt, however, whether the exchange of negroes at all for our soldiers would be tolerated. As to the white officers serving with negro troops, we ought never to be inconvenienced with such prisoners.[21] Battle of Fort Pillow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yeah, I'd **** on their treasonous graves!!!
Actually I would consider some people too ignorant to know the difference between "Detroit" and "Metro Detroit Area"
Tell you what, come to Bloomfield, Mi and compare it to where you live. Then let's talk about filthy cities..
Soon to be deleted as "off topic".
I was wondering how many people posting in this thread actually knew the history behind that "screen" name and how perverse it is to be using that name in a thread celebrating the "Confederacy." People who don't already know would do well to google Leo Frank and Mary Phagan.
So, you don't honor Washington and Adams? That's your choice, but it's very short sighted.
