    “It wasn’t ‘I’m racist and I want to glorify slavery,’” one Civil War re-enactor said. “Nobody really thought a lot about the social reasons of why the South went to war."https://nyti.ms/2AhKn2l

        He’s totally wrong. The Confederates were absolutely explicit that upholding white supremacy was exactly what they were doing. Likewise, Union soldiers wrote letters home saying “War sucks, but we have to liberate the slaves.”

        From Miss's secession statement: "....(B)y an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization.."https://www.battlefields.org/learn/primary-sources/declaration-causes-seceding-states …

        NYT really needs to stop pandering to the right. You are losing legitimacy with these weekly articles on sympathizing with far right apologists.

        “Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests upon the great truth, that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery -- subordination to the superior race -- is his natural and normal condition”

        This thought is the very foundation of one of American's original sins. The other was the genocide of the indigenous people ( because they did not work out as slaves).

        Probably, i would agree. The majority of soldiers in world history were manipulated and lied to by politicians and leaders to further their agendas. They were just fooled un-educated cannon fodder for the elite, just like today 😉

        Reminds me of the Trumpists. Supporting a man they love, despite him working against their interests, and the interest of the country.

        And here I thought it was pretty much on page one of the declaration of war that the reason the South went to war was to maintain slavery as the right of the white man.

        Wow! He should have listened during high school history class. Or maybe tried reading a library book.

        Lol he’s talking about the reasons the south went to war at the time of the war, most of the south didn’t think about slaves

        Check their personal letters, they didn’t care about property becoming free, they were worried about issues that mattered to them

        I am a history teacher and I just always thought re-enacting a really sad time where a whole bunch of people died of diarrhea and got blown up is kinda weird.

        Never said we should forget it. Like I said I'm a history teacher. Stop by my class and I can teach you all about Gettysburg without pretending to storm little round top.
