And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

After the American Civil War some of the confederates moved to Brazil in 1866 and found a village that later would name the city of Americana. Their descedants still celebrate annually with the "Festa Confederada"
They are descendants of people who lost the war, as much traitors as we are to the British. Those people are dead, and everyone who ever met any of them are dead, so lighten up.
Theones who went to Mexico didn't work out. But thousands, perhaps even tens of thousands went to Brazil, which recruited them. They helped end slavery there and even established some of the first schools for the former slaves.
Since they were not Catholic, they didn't just build their own towns, but their own cemetaries. To this day, those cemeteries are where they gather for annual dances and social events. And many keep in touch with their cousins in America.
The first thing that modern Southerners did wrong was allow the left to define the Stars and Bars as representing slavery. There was so much more to the Civil War than that. Slavery was, and still is, totally abhorrent, but if it were not for slavery, the American african population would be much lower than it is today. That fact is likely racist, but it is true.
Go easy on Vector Warbirds! When Mommy brought his dinner tray down to the basement, she hadn't cut the crusts off his sandwiches, and it hurt his widdle gums. He's pouting now.
I bet they don't have a problem with the confederate flag.

ReplyDeleteMy what a cheerful ray of sunshine you are. Crap like yours perpetuates hate and division, but that's your calling, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThat was for Vector Warbirds, not the rest of you. And, I had kin fought and died on both sides. Lest we forget.
DeleteThe debt for US slavery has been paid in blood.
