Lol. Of all the people calling you out on your bullshit, this is what you choose to reply to?

Right? That's what I thought. Lol.

This is how he responds to stuff and he's running for governor? It didn't even make SENSE.
-
He was born in Minnesota. Which means he has no cultural stake in the confederacy - he's just a racist.
-
Born in Minnesota? Heck, he's the dang Yankee!

He's a carpetbagger!!!!!!!

But weren't you born and raised in Minnesota? And you also graduated college in Minnesota before packing up for Virginia?
-
Speaking of your home state Minnesota, which was a Union state. A state that was critical to the Confederates defeat at Gettysburg.
-
So critical, in fact, the Gov signed a proclamation in 2013 honoring “Minnesota Courage at Gettysburg, Recognition Day.”

You're no southerner, you are a Minnesotan. Respect your home state's sacrifice for helping the United States win the Civil War.

I respect and honor Minnesota's history. But Virginia is my adoptive state. I respect its heritage and history. You cannot erase history.

Like, literally, nothing? Nothing is worse?
-
so you are for erasing history?

I'm like 99.9999% certain that wasn't the question

Sorry the answer we were looking for was slavery. Slavery is worse. We do have some nice consolation prizes though.

@andrewledman I pity your submissive intellect. 4 most Southerners who died defending their families, Civil War had nothing 2 do w/ slavery -
Nothing more then personal gain and wealth. Giving up slaves meant that you had to pay workers which made you less wealthy
-
You're ignoring facts. Most Southerners had nothing to gain from slavery, as they owned no slaves
-
You're missing the point that the entirety of the south, slave owners or not, benefited from an economic system of forced free labor.
