politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You should learn to read, then, like those poor confederates. You'd be better off with some literacy.
Then, by all means, link me to the part where they say they were lied to.
Literally linked and quoted above, and you're too fucking stupid to read. Many were manipulated or were not fighting over slavery specifically. That doesn't magically make the conflict not about slavery, it's just context that goes to explain how the south is so brainwashed about it. It's true, NOT because what the south believes today, but because of what literally happened.
Again, it's just nuanced context. It's not a claim about the war not revolving around slavery. Fucking learn to read.
Nowhere does it say they were lied to champ. Nice alt account btw.
Wrong on both accounts. Hilarious. Keep assuming things. It really proves how well you think through things.
That's rich. Seems like you're all over this thread whiteknighting for op(not suspicious at all). And you still haven't shown where it explicitly states that they were lied to.
ahaha I'm not whiteknighting for anyone, I'm just pushing back against morons who do not process nuance.
Still waiting.
You have the information. You choose not to process it. Thank you for failing, it's entertaining.
That's a sure way of saying idk wtf I'm talking about.
