Westside Steve Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Saw this issue in another thread and there was a great point that the South were not traitors at all. They're merely wanted to secede. George Washington was actually a traitor but the winner writes the history. And for you self-righteous liberals who are cheering on the destruction of US history because you believe the South were traitorous... The people you defend murdered how many civilians? Let's take a look... https://www.facinghistory.org/resource-library/statistics-civil-war So you hypocrites are actually defending war criminals. Nice work.

MLD Woody Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 If you think the history only exists if statues, many of which that were put up decades later specifically as anti civil rights measures, remain up then you have a very simple brain. If you think a group that went to war with our country deserves to be celebrated in this county and really they're just misunderstood then you're so far deep in toting the modern conservative line that this conversation isn't going to go anywhere. Calling this a "destruction of US history" is a joke. Books, media, museums, etc all help preserve this history. It isn't done only by celebrating someone that went to war with our country.

The joke is you woodpecker. First of all like with so many things you didn't give shit number one until the Democrats started leading you around by your weenie. You didn't care about the Battle Flag on a TV show or a Lynyrd Skynyrd album and you didn't care about any of the Confederate memorials. And yes it was Abe Lincoln's idea to heal the country. You pretend to revere Lincoln but I you know your ass from a hole in the ground about him either. And while you blather about civil rights you let mass murder of civilians go on with a big thumbs up.

Gorka Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 47 minutes ago, cccjwh said: offence of treason against the United States You must have missed it the first time. The sentence you cited seems to be a misnomer. It only implies treason. No one was ever tried for the offense of treason. My understaning is that in order to be pardoned for a crime, one would of had to be first found guilty of it, no? Whether Lee or Underwood realized it, there were also some serious constitutional and legal obstacles in the path of a conviction—or even a trial—for treason. For one thing, the Constitution’s definition of treason is really a very narrow one, and much would dangle on the exact meaning of “levying war.”Abraham Lincoln had insisted from the beginning that since war is a condition that exists only between two sovereign nations, and since the Confederacy was in his view only an insurrection, no actual war legally existed between the North and the South.

Yes, I missed "treason" in the entire document - but just because he SAYS "treason" doesn't mean it's true per the actual definition of treason. If I were president and granted you a pardon for being from a distant galaxy, does that mean you are from a distant galaxy? of course not. It is NOT treason. It was a rebellion to LEAVE the union, not to overthrow the union. If the south were to have given help to the British during the revolutionary war, that would have been treason. Were it treason, it would be treasonous to grant a full pardon to all those who committed it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted July 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 By the way he equating secession with treason didn't come about with the Supreme Court until 1869 four years of Civil War was over. To rub salt into the wound since butchering thousands upon thousands of innocent civilian, men women and children s wasn't good enough. If treason ever meant anything to you liberal clowns in the first place. Which I doubt. WSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not until the liberals and power-mad Democrats told people like you to be offended. Fauci was nobody and nobody cared about you one way or the other and the only reason you like the incompetent old quack is because he made faces standing behind Trump not because he knew his ass from a hole in the ground.

WSS I don't live in the South. I don't see monuments to the losing side. I don't see a country that went to war with us being celebrated. I'm also not black and don't have black ancestors. But I have the mental capacity to understand why someone may have a problem with something that doesn't directly affect me (I know, a crazy concept for many posters on here). This would not be an issue I would be aware of otherwise until it was brought up. I have no problem removing statues and celebrations of traitors. Especially when you learn the true history of a lot of these confederate celebrations (to go against the civil rights movement). Is it my top issue? No, it isn't. But this also seems pretty cut and dry. Seeing conservatives make arguments to keep these monuments to people that literally went to war with America, and then have those same people talk about how Real America they are, is hilarious. Museums, books, etc. still exist. These statues should be in museums with honest, accurate recounts of what actually happened. They should be getting erected decades later by the daughters of the confederacy to scare black people only so conservatives decades after that can fight to keep them up and act like they've been there since the war ended. Removing a public statue celebrating individuals that fought the united states for the ability to continue to enslave another race and putting that statue in a museum (while continuing to have numerous books and media options talking about the civil war) is not erasing any history. It isn't rewriting any history. There is already an attempt to rewrite history in regards to these monuments, school names, etc. The vast majority were erected 50 years after the civil war during Jim Crow. Another spike occurred almost 100 years after the war during the civil rights movement. The intentions couldn't have been more obvious... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First and foremost that's a long-winded way of saying that I was correct. Second who cares about Jim Crow?
