    It's weird you have to explain this to sentient human beings.

    Rather than send troops to Va, he sent them to Canada, would that be an invasion?

    Since the South with votes cast, counted up and public notice given to the Feds, departed the union,. I call it an invasion.

    Confederate apologists are a unique breed. For whatever reason they have a need to defend slavery and to defend stupidity.

    Know this Appy: You will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever everever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever win this battle.

    It was lost in 1865, and it will never ever ever ever, ever ever ever be won again.

    Embrace it. For once and for all.

    I tell the truth about slavery. I don't intend any reader to get the idea that this moment, i somehow approve slavery. I even told them of my Army time where I was treated as slaves got treated. Democrats claim then the Army was not like slavery.

    But plantations woke up slaves. i got woke up loudly in the early am by the Army. Slaves reported to a place to eat. I did that in the Army. Slaves responded to men who yelled at them to do this or that. Gee, me too. Slaves were told to obey or get punished. Gee, same thing as happened to me.

    But will read Democrats tell me the Army did not treat me like a slave. They were not in the Army I suspect.

    I decided to try hard to see this as a slave did in 1861 to see what to make of their life.

    It hit me, I had it happen to me in the Army too.

    I encourage all to read above the defense of southern conservatism and slavery.

    It seems to me you think VA invited Abe in to wage war on VA. Why not study history? Is this what you were taught in history? Why do you think some of us work hard to educate posters.

    To claim Abe did not invade means the Federal Park service got it wrong at their national site at the site of the two Manassas battles.

    Do you not know the Feds put up actual maps showing them invading from the DC area?

    I bet you don't see Gettysburg as an invasion by Lee either. Do you see that as an invasion?

    I can't claim to defend conservatism other than to tell you all of the dozen presidents some of you hold in super high esteem that owned slaves. Were all of them conservatives?

    I want to read Democrats/supporters attacking these slavers the way they attack them over the illegal Abe Lincoln Invasion.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Presidents_of_the_United_States_who_owned_slaves

    So, take your best shot at George Washington and explain why his statue gets to remain?

    Washington was our original secessionist. He fought the legal government.

    How about we put your naked body on an auction block to be bid upon as one would a cow or horse, Robby?

    How about we let the potential bidders touch your fleshy bits for meat property -- and rape property, Robby?

    How to you consider the prospect of being owned forever, and your children and their children's children...your name taken away, your children taken away, your near every decision in your day taken away, unable to be legally married, or a citizen of any county, can be legally whipped, brutalized and raped --

    -- How about if you can see how it compares to how you thought it was *like* being a paid US soldier fighting for the freedom of this country.

    How about it?

    Yes it is. Name calling is when poster A uses words to describe other posters in derisive terms. Slurring names is one example. I don't ever slur or smear your name. But you do it to me. While when you smear, you see it as amusing, to the mods, i hope not. they have busted posters doing that.

    I really am more the type of republican that voted in Reagan. I had two names presented on my ballot that actually could win. I decided years back, it was not going to be Hillary. She had also been rejected by Democrats in her past and I felt that I would not get attacked for me not supporting her either. She lost to Obama. So on the election day, I was not about to vote for Hillary which left Trump for me.
    As a grandparent, why do you approve posters acting as children act?

    Did you seek my permission to slur my name?

    The thing that worries me about Confederate apologists is they feel they have to revise history. They are the only ones that really care.

    Frankly, do you honestly think slaves would not quickly learn?

    When the Army abused we in uniform, it was to quickly shape us up. And in a few weeks, they toned it down. It had worked.

    Here is what you missed. The shelter to the Slaves. The food they got to eat. The clothes they wore. Why do you forget that part?

    Show where I have revised history. Maybe you got trained all wrong. Ever think what the Yankees did to the citizens with the fake history?

    :roll::roll::roll:

    From my observations it's George Soros, the DNC and its thugs of foot soldiers like Antifa, A*N*S*W*E*R* Coalition, WWP, BLM and the PLS who want to re-fight the Civil War.

    The other component you're missing of slavery is the passive-aggressive Behavior

    OK, just how often do you think that took place for a slave?

    Even owners of horses often keep the horse for a long time. Not talking of the sellers of horses.
    You believe too many Democrat made films.

    Look, you have been notified my name is not the one you are using. Why must Democrats pull crap like this? What do they gain by treating posters as the enemy?

    Today the Army might well treat soldiers better than they did in my era. I know the Army wanted us to all be too scared of the Army to ever take a chance on disobeying any orders. I enjoy how you say i got paid then you dismiss what benefits fell to the slaves. That is hypocritical in my opinion. Slaves too had many benefits.

    But how often were they sold? Many slaves died on the property they were born on.

    This is not me trying to justify slavery, it is me trying to make points that what you report did not take place to 100 percent of slaves.

    Do you not yet understand that in the ACW, many confederates took some slaves with them who cared for them. I mean, actually cared for the owners. Many owners treated slaves well, all things considered. General Washington is alleged to have treated slaves well. So have at him. Trash General George Washington.

    Yes, slaves had to survive so did have a passive behavior. That or they suffered. I think most did as we did in the Army and fell into line fairly quickly.

    Try to think then of these guys.

    Convicts. I played chess at the notorious San Quentin Prison and will say this moment, those convicts i played chess were passive. I don't claim to know their all day long acts, but to play chess with civilians, convicts had to be passivized.
