gang how come US schools have brainwashed everyone into thinking that the Confederacy was just one massive mosh pit of angry racist southern people
1: Nearly all people who fought in the confederacy were not slave/plantation owners, fighting for their common lifestyle against an industrializing society
2: It took half an eternity for African-American rights to even exist after the civil war
3: The Unions “hatred” for slavery was 50% “it’s inhumane” and 50% “nooo i don’t like that economic policy, embrace Industrialism” (im not justifying slavery, it’s disgusting)
4: That’s the confederate battle flag, not the actual confederate flag
5: Not everyone in the south were racist
6: As we have seen with Native American history as it is taught to us and such, US schools are NOT very honest, clearly
