Far as I'm concerned, Longstreet's name can stay. He might be the one ex-rebel that would rate a statue because if more ex-rebels were like him, we'd be having different debates today. He must be one of very few ex-rebels who, in gratitude for the terms received after having failed via arms of war to rebel from the nation, set to working FOR the nation as a whole. While most confederate vets and southern citizens did everything they could to isolate themselves from the rest of the nation, Longstreet instead served the nation. The same nation that, after four years of more death than IT HAD EVER SUSTAINED, had the magnanimity to see him and his fellow ex-rebels, as brothers. As citizens again.

I cant find anything on PGT r4ping anyone, source on that?

The Lost Cause is lost.

"The number of black Confederate soldiers is a nice round number zero." Well, the blacks in the service of the Confederacy were used as wagon drivers, medics and engineers. Today this is known as combat support. Ty is playing with semantics. The modern military has combat support in uniform. He is using presentism to understand history. The Union Army conscripted blacks into the Army against their will. While we give much attention to the 54th Massachusetts, most blacks in the union Army were used as trench diggers, wagon drivers same as in the south though they were paid less in the north than white troops. John J. Pershing was a Republican. The Republican Party of 1860 did not want to integrate with blacks as the western territory was for free white labor. The Republican Party during Wilson and Pershing's time was a racist party same as in 1860. The worst thing about Woodrow Wilson was that he created the Federal Reserve which is enslaving people today. Sy is okay with this because he wants a paycheck and a pension. General Lee freed his slaves before Grant did. The establishment is always attacking the south not because of slavery but because they fear decentralized power. We have highly centralized power and the elites want to maintain this power so they have to constantly make the Civil War about slavery. The modern historian portrays the 54th Massachusetts as heroic opposition to slavery when in reality they were used as cannon fodder. This guy is a fraud.

moral wimps

this guy is full of crap. Lincoln himself said the war was not over slavery.

@@Ben00000 Lincoln very much did start the war, there was no other reason to keep troops stationed in Fort Sumpter other than to provoke an attack. He goaded the south into attacking so he could start a way without actually firing the first shot and looking like the aggressor, you know... typical American stuff.

South Carolina declared its secession from the United States. Citing “an increasing hostility on the part of the non-slaveholding states to the institution of slavery,” South Carolina insisted that the Northern states had breached their constitutional obligation to enforce federal laws like the Fugitive Slave Act and had “united in the election of a man to the high office of President of the United States” who would “inaugurate a new policy, hostile to the South, and destructive of its beliefs and safety.”

@@gettysburgbrian Mhm, mhm, mhm. And this means what exactly? The war was not started by the Southern states leaving the union. It was started by the union keeping troops in fort sumpter to provoke an attack from the Confederacy to start a war from the defensive. A very American tactic that keeps them looking like the good guy even when they are the instigator. Lincoln initiated the war to bring the south back into the union, not to end slavery. The Just cause revision of the civil war is even worse than the lost cause one, just less talked about because more people like it.

He has so many facts wrong. Pretty much everything.
