		<description>I find it astonishing how the northern masses, as truly ignorant as all masses, could be so motivated and manipulated as to commit the atrocities in Kansas/Nebraska or condone the actions of the wacko John Brown. They were led to foaming at the mouth fanaticism by a group of agitators and propogandist, all to create a war for which we are all the losers. I&#039;ve been studying Jefferson Davis&#039; &#039;Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government&#039;. The atrocities, crimes, usurpations, and illegalities of Lincoln, Seward and the rest of that scum staggers the imagination. Those in the north who were not ignorant and could not be led like sheep to the slaughter, were tossed in prison without trial as dissenters, traitors. This is how the out of control monstrocity in Washington came to birth. Sadly, ignorance still prevails. I have heard it stated that the north was the actual rebel, since they sought massive changes to the nature of the union and the sovereign states within it. Such is certainly the case! Sad, sad, sad.</description>

		<description>Mr. Peters, #24.  Beautifully stated.  There is no hope for the U.S. until the majority understands and repudiates the hysteria of &quot;preserving the Union.&quot;</description>

		<description>Has anyone ever seen this map of the largest reported ancestry per county in the United States from the 2000 Federal Population Census? I find it striking as to what &quot;American ancestry&quot; corresponds to. The Southern nation?

		<description>Ahhhhh! 
I love it when Dr. Wilson stirs-up a hornets next!  
Good post, good heated responses, even a few lines from &quot;I&#039;m a Good Ol&#039; Rebel.&quot; 
All this entertainment and I didn&#039;t have to spend one thin dime!</description>

		<description>&quot;Sold to sin, the Yankee slave-nation died out. They have been replaced by their own despised slaves, the Irish and Italians they brought in to do the work that they, being Yankees, were too good to do.&quot;

PcH: Your statements are based on historical fact it seems.

I&#039;m reading an online publication of the Journal of Heredity by the American Genetic Association (circa 1914). The name of the article is &quot;Differential Fecundity: How Various Races of The United States are Altering Their Positions- Native Americans Dying Out in New England- Whites Supplanting Negroes in the South- Influence of Cities on the Birth-Rate.&quot;

It is fascinating to how many publications there were in the early 20th century that documented the high birthrates of white Southerners compared to everyone else. I wonder what the exact situation is now?</description>

		<description>Dr. Wilson,

Your words:

“preserve the Union,&quot;

I have gradually come to understand that the movers and the shakers in the North in 1860 had some really concrete notions about the war:  money and how to get it and keep it at the South&#039;s expense; yet, they led the true believers and the masses with these abstractions which had no real objective correlative, i.e. the notions such as &quot;union&quot; and &quot;nation&quot; were estranged from real people and blood and soil.  They stole sacred language and couched essencelessness in it and then asked Northerners to sacrifice themselves for it and to kill for it.

I can only speak for my Confederate ancestors; but they went to war to protect home and hearth, kith and kin.  In Reconstruction, they saw how well placed their fears had been.  I do not believe that the book has as yet been written about the death, disease and loss which Louisianans along with their fellow Southerners suffered in Reconstruction.  Yankee soldiers, no matter how well intended, could not have fought for such concrete things because no one was threatening in any way their homes and hearths and their kith and kin.  All that might have been threatened was a vague notion, a idea or some fabricated vision; nothing real and truly valuable and nothing worthy of such sacrifice and murder.</description>

		<description>Oosbree:

Why are Northeasterners always snotty?

(1) Owsley and others already proved that slavery was over; it cost more to keep a slave than to let him go. 
(2) The South did have Black troops.  Where&#039;ve you been?

The US has always been divided into two main parts:  slaver-states and farm-states.  Slavery has always been a Yankee thing.  Farming belonged to the South and her daughter, the West.  Yankee slavers brought the slaves to America and built factories with the profits.  The Triangular Trade was really Yankee trade:  rum for slaves, slaves for sugar, sugar for rum...

Northeastern capitalism was built by Puritan alcoholic slavers.

As Dr. Wilson noted, the War was started because slavery was over in the South.  The slavers&#039; solution to its end was to replace regional Black slavery with universal grey slavery.  That means we&#039;re all slaves now since the North got rid of the US Constitution in 1861.

When the South had tried many times to free the slaves that the Yankee slavers had brought in, the Yankees states threatened to do away with the Constitution.  In 1861, the slavers made good on the threat.

Sold to sin, the Yankee slave-nation died out.  They have been replaced by their own despised slaves, the Irish and Italians they brought in to do the work that they, being Yankees, were too good to do.

But if you don&#039;t like it, you can&#039;t leave.  They won&#039;t let you.  The only thing worse to a slaver than slavery is secession, &lt;i&gt;ie.,&lt;/i&gt; &lt;b&gt;trying to get out.&lt;/b&gt;

That means that the post-1861 America is a roach hotel, and every post-1861 city looks and smells just like one.</description>

		<description>Dear Roy,
You&#039;d better watch who you&#039;re calling a Yankee.  I am a Texan born and bred, and a states-rights Southerner that would kick the ass of any Yankee.  What kind of non-sensical reply is that? Where do you get the idea in anything I said that I could be a Yankee?  I demand that you explain yourself, sir.</description>

		<description>Mr Borne. 

I apologize for snapping at you.  I think there was a misunderstanding on both of our parts. Now, to your questions.

&quot;I know you meant *precede (I often misspell as well) … but unless you were being facetious you say also: “we deserve the punishment of a horribly hereditary elective monarch.”

Ha. See you did miss it.  There is a myth, usually promoted in government schools, that the President &#039;answers to the people&#039;.  As Dr. Wilson has shown throughout the years, the President does what he wants, and God bless you if you have the courage to stand in His way.  In that way, he more resembles, as I said, a &#039;non hereditary elective monarch&#039;. 

&quot;I was only clearly wondering, I thought - if god forgives - why do you, even i.e. you ‘universal’ or your likes or your compatriots “deserve” it once having repented? It seems like you have already?! Maybe only yourself? But others see it too no doubt.&quot;

By &#039;deserve&#039; I was partially echoing an essay by Dr. Paul Gottfried on the topic.  America, by foolishly voting back in Bush the Second, probably needs (ok, that sounds better than &#039;deserves&#039;) a horribly leftist Presidency to wake up.</description>
