Cannot imagine the anguish those the slaves felt when they were forcibly separated from their families .. I think it’s so interesting that the confederate flag stood for freedom against oppression and yet they were oppressing other people

Which is exactly why Harriet Beecher stowe mentions it in her book uncle Tom's cabin. To show the abolish ist why the slavery was needed to be abolished or ended. That the slaves are humans. With families and had feelings and they were forced to be separated from their families and sent to the sugar cane hard work that was working them to death. And they were given no choice in the matter. It showed the evil of slavery and dried up the determination of the abolitionists. In the nation which was more than miss Harriet hoped to do. She just wanted to show how unfair slavery is.

And to keep slavery out of the new states coming into the union. The Republican party was formed to abolish in other words to end slavery in all states the abolitionists hoped it would die out naturally. Wuth out war and tird several times to end it through compromise after compromise but the Confederates would not do it be sand found ways to keep slavery alive in the south such as gathering slave children and if the slaves had children by their children was a slave and that law. Kept slavery going in the south it was important if you had slave blood even if you didn't look black because many children look like their dad's or white and the black people in the south were discriminated against because you could not go by looks so all blacks werr discriminated against. All separated but equal according to the twisted interpretation of the constitution. All people are created equal. So they separated the blacks from the whites and gave them inferior equipment and goods. Apart from the whites until MLK said they were denied the equal rights under the laws and that is why we did the civil rights movement. mLK was a Baptist preacher born in the south who saw the injustice and un fairneess of the laws of separation

Outstanding! I enjoyed this very much. Thank you

I think the separation of slave families and the impact it had on all concerned is overlooked. A young mother is sold and sees her kids one last time before moving knowing full well it's highly unlikely she will ever see her kids again. Just one example of the heartache slaves endured.

In Missouri, federal troops, who had invaded the State before War was declared, disarmed Missourians and during the War killed 20,000 unarmed civilians for being "Southern sympathizers". This film, made by the federal Park Service, neglects to mention that Southerners, black and white, nearly starved after the War, and that hundreds of thousands of freed slaves died from starvation, disease and exposure after being "freed" with no shelter or provisions for their care. Lincoln said, when asked what could be done with slaves freed suddenly, that they could "root hog or die". And they did. Wile this film portrays some truth, it leaves more out, and is therefore propaganda for the federal government.

Are you referring to the Camp Jackson affair outside St Louis? 28 civilians died. There was no instance in the civil war where 20,000 civilians died. Also afterward despite this incident Missouri sided and fought for the union. Also after this Missouri elected a new governor, a union sympathizer. Many view the incident you are referring to as the spark that led Missouri to side with the union instead of the confederacy. (And you were the one referring to propaganda, with absolute garbage facts)

Fredericksburg was only one of dozens of cities and towns full of civilians that were bombarded during Mr. Lincoln's War. My mother spoke of her grand mother telling her how they boiled salt out of the smokehouse dirt to get salt and made bread out of wheat husks (hog feed "shorts") and sometimes added sawdust too keep from starving to death. Now the history books written by the winners of the war tell us that it was all to free the slaves, but they say nothing about the punitive taxes forced on the south by the northern controlled congress or the fact that over 90% of the southern citizens owned no slaves.

It's not the history books that tell us it was all to uphold slavery. It's the articles of secession your ancestors wrote when they started their failed quest to uphold their lazy immoral way of life that clearly tell us that it was all to uphold slavery. If you're really upset at the "punitive taxes" your ancestors who may have only indirectly benefited from slavery faced, blame the Confederate traitors who wrote those articles of secession, and then convinced your ancestors to take up arms against these United States defending rich white people's right to stay rich by owning people.

If your percentages are correct, 10% of the population owning and exploiting other human being for nothing but greed was 10% too many. We should have never fought a war against other Americans, there should have never been a need to. Slavery was an abomination and a shame for the entire country to carry. War is hell on everyone. We should figure out how to treat each other with dignity and respect instead of figuring out how we are “better” than each other and maybe there would be no more wars.

Their slaves, after being "freed" often wandered the countryside, with no work and no food or shelter. Hundreds of thousands died from starvation, disease and exposure. The Union army, far from being concerned for their welfare, herded thousands of them into concentration camps where they died. the Union army also did not want to be burdened with them during the War. Around 600 followers of Sherman, freed slaves, were drowned when the Union army cut the bridge they had built to get the soldiers across a river. They cut the bridge when the slaves attempted to follow across.

Slavery has been the human condition of all societies of all races from the beginning of time and even now. Never forget it was Anglo-Christian ideals that led to the dissolution of slavery.

My ancestors were plantation owners and slave owners in Florida. I've been to my family grave plot. My ancestors are buried and there is a wall around their graves. The graves of their slaves are all around them outside the wall. The relationship between my ancestors and "their people" was nowhere near what the modern propaganda claims. I know of several slaves that my ancestors set free. They would always keep families together.

Jack Aubrey My family did the same thing. My Great grandfather (12th generation) decreed in his will that upon his death all his servants and slaves were to be freed. This was In Pennsylvania in 1789. When he died , all the house servants and field slaves refused to leave because they considered our family to be their family as well. They stayed on, and were given fair wages and built their own homes on the estate.

And we still here

Non combatants = civilians.

People have a tendency to romanticize war. They dream of being a “hero” I guess. Those same people when faced with the true horrors of war or it personally effects them, can’t believe how they had to suffer. I wonder what people expect will happen. Even today we have people calling for or desiring another civil war without having a clue what they are wishing on themselves, their families and their fellow countrymen. There is always a high price to pay for “the cause” by all involved.

A bizarre way to look at reality, at best. You are, in effect, saying humans and dogs are equals. Of course, you were the owner of your dogs and were responsible for their care and well being. If you did not legally "own" your dog and I admired him or her, I would feel quite comfortable, if it was walking down the sidewalk, in picking it up and bringing it home. Being domesticated, your dog depends on you for it's maintenance and care and you are legally required to care for it as the OWNER. I think I understand what you meant by your comment, but to make a blanket statement as you did, wouldn't and couldn't be accurate. I also have owned many dogs in my lifetime and loved and cared (actually spoiled rotten) for all of them but they were not free to walk out the door or do anything they wanted because I was legally responsible for them, as the OWNER. In saying that, there were many times that I felt they owned me, however! lol 😂!!!

I find it quite amazing that, "the South Succeeded, declared war, and took the first shots", *yet they complained about the Union, aka "Yankees" occupying their areas,* and often still refer to the Civil War as *"the War of Northern Aggression".* Occupation of the Conquered Opponent is the result of War and the expected occurrence when one loses an engagement(s). Reminds me of modern day behaviors of a Political Party, they complain if their advisary makes efforts to further independence and freedom by granting funds to Education or design a Healthcare Plan to serve all. Their Party Amends the Bill and pass it, then they complain about the requirements and costs *(both of which were their Party's Amendments)* Yep. They complain about their advisary raising taxes, yet they don't count their Party's cutting taxes for the elites and raising theirs in progressive measures. Yet the greater positive economic experiences have been clearly enjoyed, while delivered by their advisary' s Party. Their President having caused extreme recession, I defined as intervals of Depression, Warring w/o just cause, and *"the largest invasion of privacy and loss of Civil Liberties since the King of England ruled the USA, and the DEA dictates to the Patient, Pharmacy, Physician, with an energy that reflects the KGB. When Gov dictates our private healthcare and may go in to a patient's filles, that is literally not in-line with our Constitution or and portion of a Republic or Democracy. The added Policing of the Public and Patients, by Agencies, and many are PRIVATELY OWNED/CONTRACTED. But they don't squeak a peep about that level of Authoritarian Dictating. Circa 2003 and 2004. I'm guessing there's a "Double Standard" somewhere, that I missed reading. ...and the largely continue to complain, based on the News Media's directing them to believe. I'm just sayin', *"Make up your Mind or research the full facts". Gain a fair observation on the subject and demand a Free Press.. ......... Please Apply Conscious Thoughts + the Higher Mind.
