The Spirit of Louisiana - John Genin

The list of Yankee paradoxes never ends:

“It wasn’t about Tariffs”
— They immediately raised the tariffs.
“It was about slavery.”
— Nobody with power during the war ever said it was.
“Secession is treason.”
— The literal definition of those words negates that.
“Secession is Anti-American.”
— Independence was how this nation was made.
“Atleast we weren’t racist.”
— Literally created redlining laws to keep blacks out of the North.
“We saved democracy.”
— The south wasn’t allowed to vote at any point during reconstruction.
“Sherman should have gone futher.”
— So, genocide of innocents is cool if your opinions don’t align?
“They were oppressive.”
— wears Nike shops Shein“The South was the aggressor.”
— Does your ex have a right to use what is in your home to threaten you back into a relationship?It’s not that they can truly defend the outcome in reality, they just know that if the CSA won you wouldn’t be allowed to be gay or retarded in the South.

Yanks will come up with post-facto psychological arguments to justify the North’s hypocrisies of keeping slavery in the North through the war, using blacks explicitly as cannon fodder, and leaving their communities destitute which led to the starvation death of over 1,000,000 “freedmen” they claimed to save — the truth is the facts simply aren’t there to make their moral case.

You’d have to make up an ex-parte narrative, cherry pick speeches, blatantly ignore actions, and justify the greatest hypocrisies of American history to come to the conclusion that the North was moral and correct.

Nothing screams uneducated like somebody saying “the South had slaves and the North was fighting against it.”

One of the biggest questions mental-Yanks need to ask themselves is if it was a war over slavery, then why wouldn’t the “moral” North declare freedom of slaves at the onset? Why didn’t the North include all slaves, including theirs, in the emancipation proclamation? Why did they ratify the 13th amendment so many months after the war? Why was it never mentioned in the Statement of War Aims documents?

Being racist and likable is how we push the window.
If you are handsome, funny, and witty you are an influencer — when people like you, they will believe like you. Racism is cool if you are cool.
