Was the war of northern aggression the most unjust war of all time?

Quite the opposite

>W-who cares if we violently oppress our own people, they treated blacks badly :(

...

>violent oppression consists of staffing federal forts and not immediately handing it over to the nation that had just created itself next door

>How dare they oppress us for oppressing human beings!

This thing is not and will never be my "own people"

Then why wont you let us secede? Yanks are literally retarded and deserved to be genocide

Because you invaded Federal land within months of secession?

laying siege to a federal fort is an act of war you dumbass

>invade federal fort.
We pretty much gave them the excuse they needed dumbass.

What if the south never fired and just waited out the north?

>violently oppressed people

really made me think

Might as well post this pre-emptively before Southerners do the whole "hurr it reverted to South Carolina land when we seceded" bullshit:
>"Resolved, That this state do cede to the United States, all the right, title and claim of South Carolina to the site of Fort Sumter and the requisite quantity of adjacent territory
>"Also resolved: That the State shall extinguish the claim, if any valid claim there be, of any individuals under the authority of this State, to the land hereby ceded.
>"Resolved, That this House to agree. Ordered that it be sent to the Senate for concurrence. By order of the House:
>"T. W. Glover, C. H. R."
>"In Senate, December 21st, 1836
>"Resolved, that the Senate do concur. >Ordered that it be returned to the House of Representatives, By order:
>Jacob Warly, C. S.

As for "old treaties don't apply to a new nation:"
The states that formed the Confederacy justified their secession under the assumption that the United States is a compact of independent states, and that each state has the ability to leave the Union under the constitution. Therefore, the very justification for the separation of South Carolina from the Union is an admission that this is the selfsame State of South Carolina that had agreed to cede the land on which Fort Sumter was built to the US federal government. To repudiate this treaty with the US government would be to repudiate the very (questionable) legal basis upon which South Carolina declared its secession lawful.

because we should have never have left in the first place, it would make us a lot weaker and poorer and less relevant, and you faggots are pretending to get mad and LARP over something that was settled over 150 years ago.

Stop with this divide and conquer shit you faggots

Some people really just don't get it. Of course, it wasn't about slavery. It was just about states' rights to perpetuate slavery and have a specific article in the confederate constitution permanently banning the abolition of slavery.

You stormfags honestly make me sick.

Fuck off nigger

What a compelling argument.

We know that Slave-owners where a tiny minority of the Southern population, so how did they convince so many other southerners, who didn't really benefit from slavery at all, to fight in this dumbass war? Furthermore, why did they believe they would be able to win a war against the more populated, more industrialized, and better educated northern states? They must have believed that they were going to get help from Britain or something. And that might have happened except Britain didn't want to be seen as helping to preserve slavery.

They did benefit from slavery: while blacks were slaves, they were not competition for labour open to freemen.

The North will raze again, fagit

What?

Please see 'Bacon's Rebellion'

>a 1676 event involving white slaves
try again

Bacon's Rebellion led directly to the exclusive use of African slaves in the southern colonies. The white formerly indentured servants were kicked to Appalachia where they languished and their descendants are still languishing. The planter dandies pulled off one of the earliest propaganda programs ever in convincing poor whites that they were in any higher a station than enslaved blacks. They did it so well that rednecks in Tennessee hills still believe the south will "rise again".

Propaganda equal to the Poyais scandal.

The south will never rise again. The next war will be drawn upon socio-economic and political ties with no clear boundaries between adversaries. It will make Syria look half as bad as it does now.

Based on this criteria I'd say that we're presently in a state of civil war.

If you don't have a modern rifle with a good scope on it yet and at least 200 rounds of ammo, I suggest you and everyone else reading this procure one.

Yes. For real.

God damn it Phil, at least keep your cancer to as few boards as possible. No one outside of pol wants to hear about good Germans, state-sponsored sodomy, or about how bi-sexual pedo governors are teaching kindergartners how to masturbate.

No one likes you, Phil. No one.

Remember that.

Looking at the 1860 election as a whole, I can sort of understand why the South seceded. Despite being divided, had the Democrats remained a whole party, they still would have lost by a pretty big margin. Some of you say that Lincoln wouldn't have touched slavery where it existed, you're right, but Lincoln had plans to curb its expansion into other territories. This meant that the South would always be in the minority in terms of being represented by the Federal government. Not to mention, the whole John Brown situation being openly celebrated by the North would have caused some people in the South to become disagreeable with the Union. Didn't Sumter happen because they were sending more men to reinforce the fort? If I were in Davis's shoes, I would have waited it out.

Speak for yourself, angryfaggot.

Hey, remember how ass blasted you got after fapping to traps and how your cancer has driven entire boards to shun you? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

that's a pretty weird fetish, getting shot and all...

Just you, angryfaggot.

And no one cares about your online vendetta except you. You must be some kind of faggot virgin neckbeard or something.

Like five seconds of searching your trip shows pages of people shitting all over you, come on. I see ck, pol, x, int, k, and t, just on the first page. You've been ostracized by so many boards, I don't even know how you can say only I don't like you.

>You must be some kind of faggot virgin neckbeard or something.
>This much projection
I love it

Oh I love me myself some traps, but Phil here got trapped once and got rather upset by it. I just find the overall situation reasonably amusing, as Phil insists on being the utmost moralfag in existence.

If we want to go down this road, I'm fairly sure 'NY' can refer to either the city or the larger state interchangeably.

Regardless, as a former resident of Upstate and a current resident of the City, I'm pretty confident in saying guns are harder to come by than in most states.

t. assblasted cletus.

>people

About half of white southerners were either slave-owners, or members of slave-owning households. Slave owners were also drastically over represented in the Confederate army.

>Even more revealing was their attachment to slavery. Among the enlistees in 1861, slightly more than one in ten owned slaves personally. This compared favorably to the Confederacy as a whole, in which one in every twenty white persons owned slaves. Yet more than one in every four volunteers that first year lived with parents who were slaveholders. Combining those soldiers who owned slaves with those soldiers who lived with slaveholding family members, the proportion rose to 36 percent. That contrasted starkly with the 24.9 percent, or one in every four households, that owned slaves in the South, based on the 1860 census. Thus, volunteers in 1861 were 42 percent more likely to own slaves themselves or to live with family members who owned slaves than the general population.

>The attachment to slavery, though, was even more powerful. One in every ten volunteers in 1861 did not own slaves themselves but lived in households headed by non family members who did. This figure, combined with the 36 percent who owned or whose family members owned slaves, indicated that almost one of every two 1861 recruits lived with slaveholders. Nor did the direct exposure stop there. Untold numbers of enlistees rented land from, sold crops to, or worked for slaveholders. In the final tabulation, the vast majority of the volunteers of 1861 had a direct connection to slavery. For slaveholder and nonslaveholder alike, slavery lay at the heart of the Confederate nation. The fact that their paper notes frequently depicted scenes of slaves demonstrated the institution's central role and symbolic value to the Confederacy.

How many times do we have to have this thread?

all day, erry day

>The fact that their paper notes frequently depicted scenes of slaves demonstrated the institution's central role and symbolic value to the Confederacy.
it also depicted an extremely angry John Calhoun

The one good thing to come out of the civil war was the destruction and reaping of West Virginia the next 100 years after. Now the whole world can see what happens when you trust the N*rth and the fat cat new york bankers who run it. Appalachia is is one of the naturally most cozy landscapes on this continent and a truly unique culture. It is evidence now of what happens when you betray your own and trust the devious northern banking machine. They pillage like huns and have no sense of honour or order.

Also demonstrating the institutions central role.

Wait, does that say that you'll be compensated for confederate dollerydoos with American currency?

I saw one of these ay an antique shop for $50. Should I buy?

It destroyed any chance America had of developing an organic society

Seriously.

>we hate all you Dixie trash

>REEEEE YOU CANT LEAVE BECAUSE WE HATE YOU

We're the ones with autism?

Well, you flatlands motherfuckers shouldn't have tried to make us go along with your crazy-ass scheme to bust up the Union. We were fine with *you* doing what you wanted, but no. You had to send a column of men up into the hill country to MAKE us fight for a bunch of rich assholes that wanted niggers to have all the jobs and work for nothing.

So we jest kind of naturally figured that if you could see-seed from the Union, we could see-seed from y'all. Mess with the bull you get the horns. Besides, we had our reputation to think of, on account we are all descended from Chuck Yeager.

We need to exploit you and laugh at your """""culture"""""

Most of the real millitary is in the south Midwest. I guarantee most of us would defect to the southern/Midwestern side rather than staying with the liberal yanks

Not aslong as I keep seeing the "rebel flag" on trucks...

wow i'm glad you can guarantee that, I was worried that your ridiculous argument was founded on the worst anecdotal evidence

Literally not even firefights worth, 200 is none.

No. They chimped out worse than the slaves they held in such contempt.

>niggers
>human
lmao okay fuck off faggot.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to keep people who are too stupid and weak to keep themselves. What the hell is the matter with you people? Do yall not have pets? I don't see you freeing your cat or dog.

So white people have a higher IQ than blacks and a right to enslave them. But Jews and asians have a higher IQ than whites and I don't see you bowing down to Shlomo von Shekelberg or Chong Wong to serve as their pets. I don't know what kind of pet owner rapes and whips his dog either, despite occuring frequently during slavery.
Yes, black people are human and fully capable of interbreeding with other races. Wow it's almost like calling them inhuman is an attempt to dehumanize them and thereby justify the atrocities you want to commit. By this logic, the more industrialized and educated north could simply declare Southerners to be inhuman apes and enslave them.

>We need to exploit you and laugh at your """""culture"""""
Which is exactly the point.

Yankees = Autismal Spergelords

Wew lads. Find a hobby.

>as a disclaimer I hope you understand I am not supporting slavery but instead analyzing the logic behind it

The concept of IQ or even innate, racial intelligence was not present during this time. Racism as we know it didn't exist until much later. At the time it was pure "we are the owners, you are the niggers" and that was that.

Not all the slave owners did that to their slaves. The violence waged against slaves was rarely the owners but instead the overseers. It wasn't even so uncommon that slaves would complain about harsh treatment to the owners who would punish or replace overseers.

Why would the slave master treat his workers poorly and risk them escaping. dying, or being beaten to the point which they could not work. They were whipped only when they truly deserved it.

>degenerates are exclusive to the regions I don't like
Really got my brainy bits dancing

>Racism as we know it didn't exist until much later
Eh, I have to disagree with this. Some, including myself, would contend that once the indentured servitude of poor whites was phased out and the exclusive use of Africans as non-waged agricultural labor was the point at which 'black' was generated as a distinction from 'white', even if the actual terminology did not arise until later.

>"REE THEY WANT TO DESTROY OUR CULTURE"
>we just want to end the whole slave thing in future states, you can still kee p your-
>"REEE GET THEM"

No.

The South (an unrecognized nation) fired upon a Federal fort.

>violently oppress our own people

>"The guy we didn't vote for won office, we're not your people anymore!"
>"Oh shit, wtf, why you oppressing us, we're your people?!"

Saying this as a southerner, too.

Blacks were treated far better in the south. Why do you think they stayed here?

>Why do you think they stayed here?
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Migration_(African_American)
The ones that stayed were fucked by denbts from sharecropping.

Don't care much about blacks, I just think it's a funny concept that one would complain about "oppressing ones own people" when said people's whole intent was to gtfo and not be "ones own people" anymore.
