      We don’t live in this world because of elections, we live in this world because Northern leadership refused to execute the Southern leadership and officers and put the soldiers on some kind of list (they were good friends)

      My mom STILL insists that the war wasn’t about slavery, and so thinks the South should’ve won and isn’t offended by the Confederate flag.

      But she’s “not a racist, I like all those black people more than this white person”.

      • Have you told her about the cornerstone speech, where the vice president of the confederacy says, literally, that the institution of slavery is the cornerstone upon which the entire confederacy was built
