WE DIDN’T LEARN FORM HISTORY SO NOW WE ARE REPEATING IT…

The primary cause of the War For Southern Independence was MONEY (no surprise here). Before the War the Southern States were some of the richest in the Union. Through the “REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH” the South transferred 80% of their tariffs receipts North to fund industrialization, Northern infrastructure and jobs for the “FLOOD OF IMMIGRANTS from overseas.” The South was being ROBBED. 

Slavery was a secondary issue …the federal government maintained and supported slavery throughout the war in Missouri, Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky and West Viginia. Slaves could have been freed in 1861, 1862, 1863 (West Virginia was admitted into the Union as a slave state 6 mos. after the Emancipation Proclamation and with all the protections of the fugitive slave laws) or 1864. During the war the government chose to free slaves only in the South where it had no control or authority (how convenient). Lincoln couldn’t buy a newspaper in Charleston SC, let alone free a slave there or anywhere else in the South. 

Slavery was not abolished until after the war as a result of the 13th Amendment and long after the so-called great emancipator (who petitioned congress to have freed slaves deported) was in his grave…

A direct result of the transformation from a “Union by Choice” to a “Union by Force,” is the loss of freedoms. States no longer have the option of Nullifying laws which do not serve their people i.e. health care, gun restrictions, abortion, the Patriot Act, the NDAA Act, immigration control and potential drone strikes on our own American citizens….now we’re all slaves, the government is your massa, WELCOME TO THE PLANTATION…
