why does yankee trash like to forget they had slaves?

Why is it that yanks love to try and pretend as if slavery was illegal in the USA and that only the evil racist south had slavery?

Why do they come up with these blatant lies and try to force them on people?

Um, they don't.

All of the states north of Maryland gradually and sporadically abolished slavery between 1789 and 1830, although Rhode Island had already abolished it before statehood (1774). [wikipedia]

Slavery in the southern states didn't end until the Union Army captured them.

By the union army capturing them you must be referring to places such as Kentucky or Missouri that were apart of the USA before during and after the war that also kept slaves before during and after the war?

Then again we already know about how the yanks made it illegal for the black man to exist in certian states, but the yanks love their little propaganda fairy tales.

Why do blacks love to forget that they were also slaves of other black men. Why do blacks love to forget that today in Africa, their heritage stills includes slavery?

These are much better questions to be asking, especially when you hear black people talk about reparations.

 

Many northerners were not happy about blacks existing in the United States, that's true, but many more than in the South felt that slavery was morally wrong and unconstitutional. Why don't you mention all the textile mills in the North that processed Southern cotton?

 

Yeah why not talk about the slave wages that fueled the north?

Must be why very few southernors owned slaves, because they all loved it...

Yanks just hated blacks, they didn't care about slavery just the elimination of all the blacks from the usa.

 

no, the biggest motivation of the north going to war against the south had nothing to do with slavery really. it was the fact that the breadbasket (at the time) of the newly formed union was located primarily in the south, and the processing of such goods was mostly done in the north. the south seceding threatened to economically destroy the "grand project" that our forefathers put into motion.

slavery was used as justification for the war the same way "wmd's" were used to invoke war a few years ago.

 

But it was slavery that made growing the labor intensive crop of rice possible, and later cotton. The North had little need for (or direct experience of) slavery, but the South did, so they created a cultural jusitification for it, namely that blacks were inferior, and they believed it.

 

well...slavery made it more affordable. owners ended up paying just as much (usually), after taking care of the slaves' housing and food and such.

the "cruel massah" stereotype is very overblown, from anything i have ever read.

 

And then there's the point that in lots of the states, slavery never existed in the first place. You know, like all of those states west of the Mississippi where like half of the US population lives?

Moreover, a huge percentage of Americans are descended from people that immigrated long after slavery was abolished (Irish, Italian) or immigrated to free states (German, Scandanavian). Even for Americans descended the colonial era, most of their ancestors never owned slaves; since the black population has NEVER been more than about 10% of the white population, it's numerically impossible for more than 10% of the white population to have been slaveholders. Thus, even if you are descended from English/Scottish colonial-era stock, there's only a very small chance that your ancestors owned slaves.

Taken together with the fact that America endured its bloodiest war ever to end slavery, and you can see why most Americans don't feel responsible for slavery.

 

REGARDLESS of heritage....i wasnt there, whipping slaves. why should i be paying reparations because of the actions of some guy i probably would have thought was an asshole anyhow?

The slavery excuse wasn't even like the WMD excuse. It was closer to the 'democracy' excuse. You heard nothing about it before the invasion of Iraq, and now that their origional excuses all flopped, they tote that around as if that was the origional intent of the entire war.

At least WMD were introduced as a reason to invade before the invasion, meanwhile slavery was an invented reason in 1863 for the single purpose of scaring the British military support away from the CSA.

Prime example being the CSS Alabama which tore the yanks a new asshole.

 

Even if the executives who ran the Civil War were completely cynical in using slavery as a justification (which is a bit over the top, in my opinion), that doesn't mean that the hundreds of thousands of people who died in the war weren't fighting with conviction against slavery. If you're going to tar whole populations with the hypocricy of their political classes, then every man on Earth is a hypocrite. Do you honestly believe that the political leaders in whichever shithole country you live in haven't ever pulled some shady shit?

 

By fighting with conviction against slavery you must be referring to the New York draft riots of 1863. Where they rioted because they didn't want to fight a war for the negro?

Then again Emancipation Proclimation was signed in 1863 as well, kind of funny how it took them that long to come up with slavery as an excuse.

 

Better late than never.

 

Even better that they kept slavery legal in the USA untill after the war.

I guess they were so hell bent on fighting to abolish slavery that they kept it legal in their own country...

Yanks are the scum of the Earth.

Ranks right up there with the americans using wmd against Iraq while claiming to be in a war to rid wmd...

 

They didn't want to end slavery at first, just prevent it's expansion into new territories. If it wasn't for Yankees (who uses that term now anyway?), there would be no internet for you to whine on. I agree that the moral superiority of the North is...sorry...WAS debatable, but it sure as hell was better than in the South.

 

Yes we already know about your desire to have a pure white society free of the influence of the evil negro. Because if there was slavery, then there would be that evil negro, thus defeating the entire point of moving out west...

 

Stop the damn racist hate-mongering. Makes you look like a retard.

We don't need any more of this crap. Who gives a shit who owned slaves. That's called history, not present, I'd guess people denounce owning slaves because THEY DON'T OWN SLAVES TODAY even if their ancestors did...

Racist hatemongering...

 

Hey dipshit what race am I talking about?

Oh that's right, not talking about any races, but about yanks who keep trying to take their propaganda and force it on the south.
