What was that line from that song? "A poor man fighting in a rich man's war"
fun fact: the majority of southerners who fought and died during the civil war couldn’t even afford slaves, they were just convinced by white aristocracy that black liberation would negatively effect them if this sounds familiar well then idk girl history has like 9 themes

The propaganda created by slave owning elites was that northern abolitionists wanted to force white women to have sex with black men and bear mixed children

Then the question is: Why anyone would buy that line of obvious bullshit? Why are people so gullible?

They didn’t have to own enslaved people to support white supremacy and a cruel system that benefited all white southerners.

It didn’t even benefit poor white southerners. Free labor is a terrible economic competitor! Slavery was bad for everyone but they convinced white people of the lie of white supremacy.

One time TBS had reruns of SATC and they had a promo campaign featuring Shirley Bassey's song History Repeating and honestly the phrase "it's all just a little bit of history repeating" was more historically educational than some classes
