Re: Confederate Flag
How so? Jeff Davis was Mississippi's Senator.And you picked up the wrong state values to prove your point to smear Jefferson Davis.
You are making a straw argument, I never said slavery was the ONLY issue, I am saying it is the central issue, as did all of the Southern states in their secession statements. Slavery was essential to to the economic system of the South, the monetary value of the slaves was GREATER than all of the land value of the South, they composed 30% of the population, they provided the overwhelming majority of productive labor in the South..slave labor was not the only issue but please keep telling me, how I got my history wrong. I used the damn senate papers to prove it was not only about slavery. Please continue, I want to hear more about how I am a revisionist. Slavery was never the only issuse of the time but please keep following the same reasoning the North used to force their own views on the South.
