The confederacy was not racist
You forgot to ask the actual Confederacy, dude.
Confederate Vice President Alexander Stephens, March 21, 1861:
#TL;DR
“But… we rule Equestria.”
“I know.”
“So we’re seceding from ourselves?”
“…Maybe.”
Please do not assume I don’t know about History, as I already knew about most of those things, and a few more things.
Please learn your history rather than listening to mainstream media’s agenda. The confederacy was not racist. A native american tribe even fought as part of it. Slavery was a very, very small part of why the civil war happened. The majority of it was due to political and economic abuses inflicted on the southern states by the northern ones. The south was mostly farmland and the north was mostly industry. The north relied heavily on the south for food and cotton for the textile mills but the south was needing the north less and less as it developed its own industry. The north didn’t go to war to preserve the union for black people. They did it for their own interests. The south didn’t go to war because they hate black people. They did it for own more complex interests.
Do you seriously think the war was fought over what would happen to black people? Because it wasn’t. They simply were not that important to anyone at the time. In fact, did you know that northern slaves took an entire two years longer to get freedom than the southern ones did? The emancipation proclamation did not free the northern slaves. Think about that…
The confederate flags represent rebellion against mistreatment by your government. It’s as much about freedom as the colonial rebel flags were when raised against England. The only reason you’re taught that they’re bad is because they lost.
You mean this?
