  1. This same lot, which is led by big government, big business, and banking, has been trying to use the race card since the Civil War with reconstruction. They've been trying to rewrite history since that time, and the only people that it's worked on are the pathetic intellectuals and leftists in the north and those along the west coast.

  2.  @scott1395  I'm not a religious man, though I believe in a divine creator, and I'm not a churchgoer. Sadly, many of the churches are where this belittling campaign started with the people known as the Christian Socialists in the late 1800s. Socialism came in with the Anabaptists, and it later found a home with the Episcopalians (old American Anglicans). It also grew with the Old Catholic denomination, which is seen as heretical, as well. They've been browbeating people about race since that time, and it had infected both education and the government by the early 1900s. They're the reason that hate and discontent stay stirred up.

  3. They've worn their race card out, to the point that the word doesn't affect anyone anymore. Reconstruction 2.0 is turning out to be the leftist's big failure.

  5.  @dmichael1172  Slaveholders were in the north as well, but the northern apologists don't like speaking about that. On top of that, not everybody was a slaveholder on either side, only a percentage was, and by the time of the war, several had already begun freeing their slaves. All would have released them if the government would have compensated them for their monetary loss, as they had borrowed big money from the north to buy them when it was legal. After the war, most went bankrupt and lost everything. Slavery was wrong, but that was what occurred. The history is more complicated than what many know, as it's more about politics and law, where the tale of what led to the Civil War that's told today is packed full of fabrications, such as Lincoln being a great man, when he was just as racist as anyone else. He was for the Corwin Amendment, which would have permanently legalized slavery. That constitutional amendment was offered to the south, yet they left anyhow. Why? State's rights, northern corruption, high tariffs, national banking, a standing army, warmongering, and not strictly reading or following constitutional law. Slavery was only a portion of it, but it was the card they pulled to cover up the rest. The party that became the GOP was not the Old Republicans of Jefferson. They were the old Federalists, who had lost their party, and were mixed in with a few other smaller factions that became the Whig Party. They've tried to rewrite the history of Hamilton's big brother government Federalists, who were in bed with Britain, and hide what party they later became since the war. That was then forced upon everyone with and after reconstruction, and it was they that had also crawled into bed with socialism by the late 1800s, which came into education with Christian Socialism in Massachusetts and New York. By 1901, it had infected both parties, mainly in the north, under the guise of progressivism with Roosevelt and Wilson.
