“What was the cause of the United States Civil War?”

Are you purposefully stupid. Slavery in not the only reason for the civil war, I never wrote it wasn’t a factor. Slavery was always an issue between north and south but secessionist threatening to secede from the union played a big factor, actually led to the war.
You're the one who's saying it wasn't about slavery. Not me. The war was 100% about the right to keep on, keeping slaves. No matter how you try to slice thin cuts of other "reasons" off that.
 
Like when the democrats went into French Indochina to fight? Or you mean more recent times like when they destabilized Egypt with the muslim brotherhood, murdered Gaddafi and open Europe to mass foreign immigration? Or left Afghanistan in chaos? Or more present times killing the world economy and fueling conflicts like Ukraine or soon Taiwan? Democrats today have abandon our friendship and relations with the rest of the world. It is not fair nor just for them to squander all we have worked for as a nation. Destroying our stability is not fair to those of us who have worked to make America Great.
This thread is about the Civil War.
 
“Before the American Civil War, Southern Democrats were mostly White men living in the South who believed in Jacksonian democracy. In the 19th century, they defended slavery in the United States, and promoted its expansion into the Western United States against the Free Soil opposition in the Northern United States.”

Fast forward 150 years and it’s democrats unloading their guilt on everyone else including present day conservatives.
None of the southern Democrats who supported slavery are still alive today. Modern Democrats don’t share their guilt.

Since 1970, the Republicans have appealed to white racists to win elections. At this point white racism is about all the Republican Party stands for.

Most Democrats today would admit that the party was wrong in 1860. The Democratic Party only started being on the side of fairness and justice in 1960. The Republicans unfortunately took the other fork in the road.
Democrats are behind every bit of civil unrest we see in the country today.

You injected your opinion of democrats and republicans. And just to note it was a Republican that took advantage of the industrial north's over taxation of the rural south to finally enact Emancipation. The war was not over slaves. The Arab's, French, and Spanish providing the slaves as property were not involved in the conflict.

The Civil War was absolutely over slavery. The Republican Party opposed it being extended to the new western states, while the southern Democrats wanted to keep treating Africans as livestock. By the 1850s the import of captive Africans had slowed to a trickle. Most southern slaves were born in slavery.
 
I don't know why the Right even runs for office. They can control the whole thing and the LGBTQlmnop democraps STILL control their asses. Just ask them, they get nothing done because of Them. It must be sad to be such wimps.

Yes, I know this is a civil war thread but my post went in this thread instead of the other. Fuck it.
 
Obama is the epitome of racism.
The election of a black man to the Presidency completely unhinged the white supremacists. As a result they threw their full support behind a grifter who had never held any public office. Donald Trump's only qualification for the Presidency was that he was a white racist. It's telling that so many Republicans still support him to this day.

You’re very uninformed.

Obama will perhaps go down in history as the most racially divisive president in history.

You're an idiot. And if your implicit endorsement of Lost Cause is an indication, probably a racist, too.
