"the article's closing line—referring to slavery as the "cornerstone of the cause for which [Lee] chose to fight"—is a reductive sleight of hand that ignores Lee's personal views and the broader secession timeline." Read more below! #history

D’Souza doesn’t know dates. Let’s teach him. The “war” was over in 1865 and the “union was preserved” (by unconstitutional force). The Republicans then moved to kicking the same states out of the Union illegally—another “Conservative” move?
This rubbish continues to circulate. “Conservative” here means “status quo.” But this has nothing to do with conservatism today which seeks to uproot the status quo. Conservatives are not against federal power to save and protect the country, as in the Civil War and World War 2.

“They created opposition out of a highly artificial, almost a fabricated, issue.” If you aren’t reading the great northern historians, you do yourself and our cause a disservice. Randall must be on your reading list. #History

“What Lincoln understood was that the idea of equality, to be worth its cost in blood, demanded more than obeisance to words on parchment.“ I told you the faux historians know that Lincoln ignored the Constitution. We love the constitution; they hate it https://t.co/9xdMDdqPBB

Americans associate "Confederate Flags" with MAGA almost as much as Joe Rogan. https://t.co/jju8VOMxs7

The cultural entities that Americans are most likely to associate with MAGA Republicans are American flags, Confederate flags, Kid Rock, The Apprentice, Duck Dynasty, and Joe Rogan.

The President of the University of Virginia in 1921 made this great remark about the war.
"It was a war between brothers fate driven to defense two majestic ideas--the idea of local self government & the idea of federal union. To call it a rebellion is to speak ignorantly; to call it treason is to add viciousness to stupidity." -Dr. Alderman (Pres of UVA 10/19/1921)

"It is customary to justify the war for ridding the country of slavery, but war aims were very differently proclaimed by the northern Congress, by Lincoln, and by southern spokesmen. Even the Emancipation Proclamation definitely implied that the states could keep slavery if they

Buchanan’s Attorney General documented the limitations of coercion under the 1795 Militia Act. He was from PA. Notice Stanton’s bill attempts to amend the 1795 act. https://t.co/oR5cAubdD8

The NC Standard opposed secession until Lincoln’s illegal call for troops. The editorial from 4/20/1861 again talks about illegal coercion. https://t.co/opMKVT9Cw1
"The federal gov't cannot be maintained by force applied to sovereign States. Local combinations & insurrections may be put down by force...but not attempts to drive and subdue sovereign States by armies is to exercise unjust, undelegated, arbitrary power." -NC Standard 4/20/1861

Trumbull was a leader for Republicans in the Senate. He knew in July of 1861 that Lincoln broke the law. Instead of a censure, he helped retroactively change the law. I've read his pre-war speeches. https://t.co/yOKCTsB8P9
Voice: How will you put down rebellion? L. Trumbull (R-IL): I will put down rebellion under the authority of Congress & in no other way. The US Pres is the Commander-in-chief when Congress raises the troops & directs him what to do, but ho has no power to raise an army 8/7/1858
