Another confederate statue removed

[Guno צְבִי]

PITTSBORO, N.C. After more than a century, a long-debated Confederate monument outside the Chatham County historic courthouse is no longer standing.

Crews dismantled the monument, including the statue and pedestal, on Tuesday. The items will be transported to a safe, undisclosed location where they will be preserved until the Winnie Davis Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) finds a more appropriate place to place them.


The North Carolina Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans released a statement on Wednesday morning, saying they were "outraged at the latest disturbing action of the Chatham County Board of Commissioners."

What was the root cause of the War Between the States?

Conventional wisdom holds that the War Between the States was waged over slavery. The South was populated by racist rednecks that hated black people and would fight to the death to keep them in captivity while Northerners were all Enlightened Academics believing in Freedom and Justice for all. As is most “conventional wisdom” this is incorrect. The Civil War was fought, as are most if not all wars, for economic reasons with slavery being a byproduct of the economics of the times.

The issues leading to the war actually began as a result of the War of 1812. The fledgling United States had lost most of its international trade during this conflict. Although after the war England wanted to resume business with the US new domestic producers had taken over their former markets. In order to protect the new manufacturers Congress in its infinite wisdom passed huge tariffs, up to 60%, on imported goods. Most of these US manufacturers were located in the Northern States with markets primarily local shipping little to the Southern States) with the South concentrating on cotton production, which by 1830 was fully half of the world production of the product. This meant most of the goods needed by the South had to come from abroad and was extremely expensive due to high tariffs. .

Slavery came into the picture because cotton production was very labor intensive and slaves provided cheap labor. In 1860 the value of slaves was 20% of the entire wealth of the United States. The primary reason Southern States wanted new states to be “slave states” was for the same contemporary reason Democrats want Puerto Rico and Washington DC (two areas highly dependent on government handouts) to become states and want to count illegal’s as part of the population, more representation in Congress. Keep in mind there was no legislative action to end slavery in those states it already existed. The movement was to keep it from expanding in the future

The South now had its back to the wall with high prices due to import tariffs and diminishing cotton markets as a result of retaliation for the high tariffs. It wanted to split from the Union in order to establish its own trade policies. Since the South was actually richer than the North at the time and forced to buy more imported goods they provided higher tax revenues to the Federal government.

Thus, by favoring the North over the South we came to the root causes of the Civil War, potential economic ruin of the South. This was borne out in that after the war the South’s per capita income was only 50% of that in the North, a condition that lasted for almost 100 years after the war’s end.

Since no treasonous act was committed, none are.

The history books want to teach it was about slavery and try to present history as every southerner owned slaves. It's not true.

Ever notice how easily the left is triggered by an inanimate object. Same with guns. If it looks scary or it hurts their tender feelings, they believe everyone is supposed to do what they want in order that they feel better.

I'm not shocked that you think identifying how easily triggered you pussies get over an inanimate object is anti-USA.

You have the same mindset when it comes to guns. If you don't like something, you think others should do to suit you so your tender feelings don't hurt.

See,your feelings are hurt over an inanimate object.

History books teach that the War of Northern Aggression was over slavery. That's simply not true. Why would you want me to learn falsehoods when I already know the truth?

The truth isn't spin, boy, but it made you head spin like a top.

Succession? You use an incorrect term and want to lecture me on history? How about looking at a fucking dictionary, moron.

I would suggest you also read my post above. The Civil War was not about slavery, it was about economic freedom. The South was being taxed to pay for the protectionism of the Northern Industrial base. Slavery was a side issue and only involvement was as an economic tool in the growing of cotton.

That idiot used an incorrect term and expects others to believe what he says.

Well, you know leftist are the elite and therefore succession is now the correct spelling of secession.

BTW, your n-l comment was unnecessary and certainly does not make you a comrade of mine. I have no use for racist or those who support slavery.

Mason was "educated" under common core standards.

I'm neither. That claim has been debunked many times.
