1. La Esclavitud como Causa Central y la Negación Histórica.
El archivo subraya que la esclavitud fue la motivación fundamental de la secesión, desmintiendo el mito de la "Causa Perdida" que intenta reescribir la historia minimizando el papel de la propiedad humana y enfatizando los "derechos de los estados".
- 70 of the confederate states included slavery as a primary motivation for session.
- The real reason of course was the right to own slaves and maintain a slave-driven economy.
- The civil war was about states rights. About tariffs. About honor. But the confederates themselves admitted the truth it was about slavery.
- The states rights argument, from the csa to the modern day, was always bullshit.
2. El Fracaso de la Reconstrucción y la Victoria Ideológica del Sur.
Una crítica recurrente es que la Guerra Civil nunca terminó realmente debido a la falta de castigo adecuado a los líderes confederados y el subsiguiente desmantelamiento de la Reconstrucción, lo que permitió la instauración de Jim Crow y la continuidad de la supremacía blanca.
- The civil war never truly ended because we let the wealthy elite who ran it and their families live and retain power. We are paying the price for that mistake.
- How did the south lose the war, yet we still had jim crow and slaverys continuing and evolved legacy? bc the south waged an insurgency after the war that the north wasnt interested in stopping.
- The south ultimately won the civil war yep.general and congressman, senator, and historian john a. Logan said as much in the great conspiracy in 1886.
- We are here because of the racists that were allowed to flourish post cwar and has never been addressed in the 170 years since bc we thought the south had suffered enough.
3. La Continuidad del Conflicto en la Política Actual.
Muchos comentaristas perciben la polarización política actual, especialmente el movimiento MAGA y Project 2025, como una continuación o una "Segunda Guerra Civil", donde la ideología confederada ha logrado infiltrarse y dominar la gobernanza estadounidense.
- This is the 2nd civil war. Only the game board has been tweaked.
- It is slowly dawning on people that we are in the midst of a confederate insurgency by a group of malcontents who think the wrong side won the civil war.
- Project 2025 and trump 2.0. Bring potential jim crow 2.0. Many in the south never accepted its civil war loss, and many in north and south are still full on racist.
- The confederacy lost the civil war but won the peace when they murdered lincoln. Andrew johnson bent over backwards to the confederate states.
4. Consecuencias de la Indulgencia Histórica.
Existe un fuerte consenso en que la clemencia mostrada hacia los confederados después de 1865 fue un error histórico que sentó un precedente de impunidad para los traidores y criminales políticos, un patrón que se repite en eventos posteriores como Watergate y el 6 de enero.
- American history might have been less painful if a shit ton of post-war confederates did 20 years to life for their fuckery.
- We are in this situation because we didnt adequately punish the confederacy after the first civil war.
- It was a mistake to forgive the confederates after the civil war. It was a mistake to forgive the nazis after world war two. It would be a mistake to repeat those historical errors by forgiving the magats.
- We made the mistake of not shooting the perpetrators once,after the civil war, and look how that turned out - 150 more years of the losers making the rules in this country.
