Governor Nikki Haley announced Monday the Confederate flag will be removed from the state capitol.

Remembering and honoring the soldiers who fought for the Confederacy is only part of the story- a history altered by the ‘winners’ of that war who wrote all the text books and go on to write the headlines.

Those soldiers were not slave owners and they were not racist. In fact, the Civil War had very little to do with slavery at all. Those soldiers understood very well what they were fighting for and it was not about keeping African slaves. They would have recommended the Dutch did not buy those slaves from Africans and bring them here. Before that occurred, there was no slavery- only indentured servitude.

What they fought for was the people’s right to overthrow their own government when it no longer serves the interests of its own people. That is why it’s actualy called the rebel flag. Those soldiers were doing the same thing our founding fathers did to Great Britain when they wrote the Declaration of Independence.

So you idiots can all take your obamacare and your patriot act and your false flags and cram ’em with walnuts. You can pay some idiot to wrap himself in a Conferate Flag and shoot up a church. You can use that as an excuse to take the Confederate Flag down. You can even use that as an excuse to try to take guns away.

But you are not going to transform what that flag is really about.

Forget about your Uncle Tom propaganda. The children of slave owners thought more highly of their African nursemaids than they did their own mothers. That’s why so many of them had children with them.

That’s why they enlisted confederate soldiers- the descendants of the people that lost their jobs to slavery, to fight against the Union. And when the slaves were emancipated, it was those brave soldiers who still didn’t have jobs because they now had freed slaves to compete with.

The slave owners are not the ones who wave the Confederate Flag. Now they are CEO’s. Now they own the banks that crashed the system in ’08. Then they were hired by the Federal Government to fix the system they got rich breaking. Now they own the media, they own the lobbyists, they own the Congress, they own the President, and they own YOU.

Meanwhile the few people who still have a clue are ridiculed and disrespected by ignorant morons who think they are free. Free to do what? Fight for scraps off the owners’ tables?

While the slave owners were taking their pick of the African women, and having children with them, there were white men who refused to be a part of it. They had morals. They wanted to be free men who worked for a living, but couldn’t get jobs. Many came to Texas. 

The African men couldn’t do anything about it. 

The few who stayed behind signed up for the Confederate Army, because there was nothing else to do. Texas joined the Confederacy, but not to defend slavery. Texas joined because it was the only state that was an independent nation before joining the Union, and wasn’t about to let the Federal Government tell it which pot to piss in. 

But as we all know, the south lost. The true history was rewritten by the winners. And what was covered up was the fact that many African Americans were children of slave owners. Meanwhile, the returning Confederate soldiers were forced to live a hard life, eating whatever they could find. 

So now, these descendants of the masters and the descendants of the victimized soldiers alike, are filling out forms and standing in line for hand outs from the descendants of their owners while the people who have the moral platitude to be productive citizens while not being greedy don’t even qualify… And have to pay for it. 

Simple enough to understand now?

As South Carolina governor Nikki Haley gave the press conference in which she called for the Confederate flag to be removed from South Carolina’s capitol building, lawmakers and activists in other states pressed for similar changes in their respective districts.

In Maryland, Baltimore County leaders called on Baltimore city officials to give the County approval to change Robert E. Lee Park, named for the Confederate Civil War general, to Lake Roland Park. In Nashville, Tennessee, U.S. congressman Jim Cooper, a democrat, took to Twitter to call on state leaders to remove a bust of General Nathan Bedford Forrest from the state capitol.

Down in Texas, a Change.org petition with 1,634 signatures is asking school officials to remove the statue of Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederate States of America, from the University of Texas’ main campus in Austin.

Can you see where this is going?

  I keep hearing people say that the Civil War was about states rights, and that slavery was a side issue or not really an issue at all. I just saw another article today where the Texas school system is changing their history books to reflect this as fact. I read these things and I think to myself, “How can people actually believe such nonsense?” But there are a lot of people who apparently do. So, being someone who always asks others to do their research before just mindlessly posting, i decided it was incumbent upon me to follow my own advice. So, I looked up the Articles of Secession for each of the states. I thought I would point out the highlights of each state. Surprisingly, only Virginia didn’t focus on one main, central issue…
  GEORGIA – “The people of Georgia having dissolved their political connection with the Government of the United States of America, present to their confederates and the world the causes which have led to the separation. For the last ten years we have had numerous and serious causes of complaint against our non-slave-holding confederate States with reference to the subject of African slavery.” This is followed by multiple paragraphs where they discuss the institution of slavery, why it is their right to keep their slaves, and how mean the Federal Government is for not supporting their right to keep their slaves. But hey, that’s just one state, it has to be the exception, right?
  Mississippi – “In the momentous step which our State has taken of dissolving its connection with the government of which we so long formed a part, it is but just that we should declare the prominent reasons which have induced our course. Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery– the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth.” Ok…so, two states then…but that must be it. I mean, the war was all about State’s rights, wasn’t it?
  SOUTH CAROLINA – Ok, so the South Carolina secession document starts off with a very long history lesson about how the states were formed, but then they finally start talking about the central reason they are seceeding…State’s rights! Or, more specifically, “We affirm that these ends for which this Government was instituted have been defeated, and the Government itself has been made destructive of them by the action of the non-slaveholding States. Those States have assume the right of deciding upon the propriety of our domestic institutions; and have denied the rights of property established in fifteen of the States and recognized by the Constitution; they have denounced as sinful the institution of slavery; they have permitted open establishment among them of societies, whose avowed object is to disturb the peace and to eloign the property of the citizens of other States. They have encouraged and assisted thousands of our slaves to leave their homes; and those who remain, have been incited by emissaries, books and pictures to servile insurrection.” So…they are fighting FOR their right to own slaves, and AGAINST the rights of other states to NOT own slaves…seems legit.
  TEXAS – Texas has a few issues at mind. They are mad that Kansas was made open to anyone who wanted to settle there instead of being given to Texas, they are mad that the Federal Government doesn’t help them wipe out the Indians and the Mexicans that had the land first, and of course, “In all the non-slave-holding States, in violation of that good faith and comity which should exist between entirely distinct nations, the people have formed themselves into a great sectional party, now strong enough in numbers to control the affairs of each of those States, based upon an unnatural feeling of hostility to these Southern States and their beneficent and patriarchal system of African slavery, proclaiming the debasing doctrine of equality of all men, irrespective of race or color– a doctrine at war with nature, in opposition to the experience of mankind, and in violation of the plainest revelations of Divine Law. They demand the abolition of negro slavery throughout the confederacy, the recognition of political equality between the white and negro races, and avow their determination to press on their crusade against us, so long as a negro slave remains in these States.”
  VIRGINIA – Virginia doesn’t give any specific examples, and they also have the shortest document of the states. I present the first paragraph, “The people of Virginia, in their ratification of the Constitution of the United States of America, adopted by them in Convention on the twenty-fifth day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight, having declared that the powers granted under the said Constitution were derived from the people of the United States, and might be resumed whensoever the same should be perverted to their injury and oppression; and the Federal Government, having perverted said powers, not only to the injury of the people of Virginia, but to the oppression of the Southern Slaveholding States.”
  So, yeah, it seems obvious now that slavery had NOTHING to do with the Civil War…oh, wait, what? I don’t know why I bother though…the people who already agree with me didn’t need the evidence, and the people that don’t are hardly going to be persuaded by pesky facts…
