at any time within the temporal continuum, no less. Honestly, I think one of the greatest damages this country ever did to itself was allowing the Confederazis to play the victim after they lost the civil war they started in hopes of continuing to own people like livestock. I am white, and pigs like Vicky Baggett provide ample evidence that there is NO such thing as a superior race.

Sorry, had that in my craw, needed to fish it out.

Yeah- the 'daughters of the confederacy' were extremely successful propagandists. Their lost cause textbooks are a major reason there are so many vickies still out there.

As a sidenote- if you ever feel like arguing with someone who believes the "Civil War was about states' rights" bullsh!t. Don't bother, they've already been brainwashed. Just politely ask them to read the Articles of Secession of whatever state they're from. If that doesn't clarify things for them, nothing you say will.

Not gonna lie, more than one of my history teachers in middle school and high school had fallen for that fiction about the war really being about 10th amendment supremacy. And, like you correctly stated, they fought for a states' right to keep owning human beings as livestock/sexual assault fodder. There was a time in childhood where I foolishly bought that line of bullshit. But, again, I was a child. The adults shouldve known better lol.

> adults should know better
That was about US' Civil War, but it should apply to the vile handling of the indigenous and the black too. Especially politicians. Except they would have to consider reparations if they acknowledged knowing better.
