    That was great. A lively, well spoken, probably improvised, but performed from memory oration. I was there a few years ago and love the place. Those islands, the shops, the statues, the history! What a place.

    An excellent summary in a short time. I had not heard the "industrial capital" argument before - Birmingham was a much safer capital city.

    Grant knew Lee's army was marching shoeless and supply poor. He also knew Lee had a recruiting problem he didn't. The idea of another capital sounds logical. But I'm not Jefferson Davis or Lee. The war was over in late 1863 after Gettysburg and the Gettysburg Address where Lincoln offered the best terms for both sides. The South could have been paid value for slaves under Eminent Domain, a put forward before hostilities by Lincoln, and still controlled the population as "sharecroppers" which is a "company store" curse. Instead another 150,000 (?) Lives were lost.
    Mention also blockade runners were smuggling in fashion's and luxuries instead of war necessities. The war was a lost cause for the South after November, 1863.

      Indeed the war wasn’t over at Gettysburg by a damned sight that’s kind idiotic in grants murderous overland campaign Lee could have entrapped the main union army and destroyed it dealing a fatal blow to the union which would surely break their will to go on however by miss communication and bad luck Lee was not able to do the plan

      kktg5099 Perhaps you should re-read the OP. I don’t see how you can reconcile condemnation of US racism while defending a post praising the Confederacy and it’s cause - the preservation of slavery.

    • @williamcarter1993
      @williamcarter1993 5 лет назад +3

      nah.
      the confederacy SPECIFICALLY EXISTED as a cornerstone for white supremacy and African chattel slavery.
      The US itself didn't, although it doesn't live to the lofty ideals it sets for itself.

    • @jacksons1010
      @jacksons1010 5 лет назад +5

      kktg5099 The Confederates clearly and unequivocally stated their reason for secession was the preservation of slavery. The “self-determination” they sought was the continuation of slavery. If you are ignorant of the Confederate Constitution, the various declarations of secession published by the Confederate states and the infamous “Cornerstone Speech” issued by the Confederate Vice President, then I suggest you educate yourself before continuing to defend the morally indefensible. The OP does indeed praise the cause of slavery, even if done in ignorance.
      One can honor the Confederate soldiers while decrying the cause; the OP clearly failed to separate these.
