We have many here who say the same thing, and believe the War of Northern Aggression was fought for the sole purpose freeing the slaves.

By that logic, the American flag is also a flag of traitors. It comes down to whether you believe that breaking off and establishing your own country is treason.

From Lincoln: "If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause." |

Maybe we should dig up all the Confederate soldier's bodies, too. Maybe we should have hanged any one south of the Mason-Dixon for treasonous acts such as levying war against the US and providing aid and comfort to the enemy. That'll teach 'em!

They were. As were the soldiers who fought for independence from Great Britain 90 years earlier.
One man's traitor is another man's patriot. Just depends on who wins the war. Had the South won, history would no doubt have a different take on their struggle to liberate themselves from the North's oppressive economic restrictions or something similar. |

Quoted:
This CNN comedian/political hack claims that the confederate flag was a flag of traitors and racist and makes a small connection to the Tea Party. I really can't stand the government sponsored media. link Well, I've got a couple of comments here. First of all, CNN is not "the government sponsored media". It is a private corporation, started by Ted Turner, and even though it has a decidely liberal platform, it is in no way connected with any branch of the US Government. Maybe you're thinking of PBS or NPR. Secondly, the author of that piece needs to learn a little bit more about the flag that he so fervently despises. The generally-accepted and frequently seen "confederate flag" that the CNN comentator refers to as the "battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia" is actually the Confederate Naval Jack. The battle flag was square, not oblong, and had a narrow white border. It came in different sizes for different types of units. The cavalry used one that was 28 inches square. The artillery used a 32 inch square flag, and the infantry used one that was 36 inches square. |

I've read most of the civil war threats and I've never seen anybody write that "<blathering traitor talk> was for for the sole purpose of freeing the slaves" I don't run around with a Union Jack to celebrate my ancestors' service to the Royal Army that was a lot more recent than those who fly the flag of the people who were born as US citizens then fought against their fellow citizens and had their slaves freed against their will....but are not to be confused with people who were traitors to their country because owning human beings and their children was that important to them than the United States of America.... |

NORTH VS SOUTH GO GO! I had ancestors on both sides. Born in the South, moved up here, had people from Missouri and Kentucky, others whose line came over with William Penn and owned a massive piece of Bucks County. Anyone who thinks it was about something as simple as slavery needs to be beaten with an uncensored history book, then made to read it. And anyone who denigrates that flag that way is just un-American. Which sums up CNN pretty well. |

CNN is trolling. Bring back "racism" to the national debate when Zero's signature accomplishment is imploding on rollout? Obvious to the extent that it's laughable.
Different point: Since this will inevitably devolve into a fuck Lincoln confederate circle jerk before page 3...., I'll just get this in now: Those Southerners who sanctify the Confederates to the extent where they will not allow for the fact that there were "some" (at least) honorable and courageous men fighting in the United States Army from 1861-65 are beneath contempt. There were honorable, and dare I say it, brave men fighting for the Union. I understand that you honor your heritage, but I also honor mine. |

While technically true that the Civil War was fought over "states' rights," those making that argument tend to omit the part about slavery being the most important right the southern states were fighting to preserve.
They weren't fighting over gay marriage, abortion rights or concealed carry restrictions. You can package it up however you want, but it was indeed about slavery. (For the record, I'm southern-born and southern-raised.) |

A civil war is one in which the two sides are fighting for control of the central government. This was not the case in the War for Southern Independence. All the south wanted was to be left alone. |
