The Confederates won. It is time we admitted that. when their assassin shot Abraham Lincoln, putting Southerner Andrew Johnson in the White House, he promptly re-admitted the Southern states and bribed his way out of impeachment and removal from office. After the loss of Lincoln’s leadership, and decades of attempting to integrate former slaves into the former Confederate states, the government in Washington threw up its hands and left the states to the will of the Southern whites who were busy destroying their own states in order to see that the black man did not rule over them, as a majority of a population should expect to rule, or at least govern.
Imagine what it would have been like to have evaded a hundred years of civil unrest by simply ensuring that the majority of the population of the Southern states were given the tools to govern properly? If former slaves had been given the 20 acres and a mule that they had been promised? But they weren’t, and we have inherited those generations of injustice, with those same White Nationalists that put us in this predicament demanding that we allow their president to become king so that he can secure the future of the White race for them.
It is time we finally defeated these tired old ideas and put them in the grave where they should have gone a hundred and fifty years ago. If we don’t, then the Confederates well and truly have won.
