  1. Todd Bates No Todd, you need a history lesson on the Civil War.

  2. Mike G And of course you would prefer to ignore why they wanted to secede from the union. The reason was...slavery.

  3. Todd Bates You're the one perverting history, you lying buffoon. Taxation played no role in the Civil War, it was all about slavery. And no there were not slaves in the White House during Lincoln's term.

  4. bcubed72 That's complete fiction. The tariff laws in 1860 were written by the South.

  5. pyre78 Complete bullshit. The only "states' right" they were concerned with was slavery. The Southern states openly, loudly and repeatedly declared this to be the case.

  6. pyre78 The only "states right" that the Confederates had any interest in was the right of a state to have slavery. They also opposed states rights when it came to forcing free states to send escaped slaves back to their masters. And any "pride" in the Confederacy's treason and slavery should be erased. It should be considered a period of history to be ashamed of, not to be celebrated.

  7. pyre78 Irrelevant, the South seceded because they wanted to have slavery forever.

  8. pyre78 So now you're going to pretend that there's no record of what they said at the time? http://www.civilwar.org/education/history/primarysources/declarationofcauses.html

  9. ***** Ukraine was never part of Russia. So there's no way they could've seceded from Russia. That would be like claiming that New Jersey seceded from New York.

  10. ***** You're still trying to claim that 95% of Ukrainians are Russian? Wow. Even in Crimea, the only Russian-majority region of Ukraine, Russians only constitute 59% of the population.

  11. solaceinstrife No, it had nothing to do with taxes. It's the slavery, stupid. The South seceded because they wanted to preserve slavery. That was their only priority, and they openly declared this to be the case at the time.

  12. solaceinstrife If you read what the Southern states had to sa about their reason for secession, they all said slavery.

  13. ***** Ukraine didn't secede from Russia, dumbass.

  14. ***** Nope, you seem to be under the impression that Russia and the Soviet Union are the same thing. Russia and Ukraine were both component states of the Soviet Union. When the Soviet Union dissolved, they became independent nations.

  15. ***** It dissolved because its government ceased to exist and its component states all agreed to go their separate ways.
    1
  16. ***** There was nothing left for them to secede from when the Soviet government dissolved itself.

  17. ***** How many times do I have to tell you that the USSR was not the same thing as Russia? Russia was one of 15 component states of the Soviet Union. And no, 95% of the Ukrainian population do not identify as Russians. The actual amount is 17%.

  18. ***** Are you fucking stupid? You don't grasp that Ukrainians are a separate ethnicity from Russians?

  19. Donald Lanoux The claim of blacks fighting on the Confederate side is a myth. There is no documented evidence of such a thing happening.
