Brave canine patriot shows his disdain for treason.

Let's take a look at the "American" Union. There were still slave states that allowed slavery until the ratification of the 13th Amendment in 1865. That means that the Union had the last state where slavery was legal. Let's talk about immigrant conscription which was basically slavery and the riots of the northerners that were against the war. If you believe that the noble north was fighting against the racists of the south, then let's take a look at the treatment of the Native Americans before during and after the Civil War. Before the war was the trail of tears, during the war the war two of the tribes that were forced to march the trail of tears fought for the south, and after the war the US government continued to abuse and kill them all the way until 1898. That sure doesn't seem like a beacon of human rights and morality that people like to associate with the north.

Did the south lose? Sure, the north conquered the southern army, burned the cities in the south, looted, and setup oppressive regimes that forced the south into poverty and a downward cycle of low socioeconomic and low education states, but let's look at the current outcome of the war. Now there are people that hate the south for a practice that was abolished in 1865. The black slaves that were "freed" ended up doing the same work and living in the same conditions as before the war begging the question, why the fuck did over half a million Americans just die? The black community still struggles in the US and many people attribute that to the institutional racism that was a result of polarizing the country through forcing the south to give up slavery using violence when the societal trends were already headed away from slavery which makes you wonder, did the north help or hurt the black community? Why couldn't the north find non-violent means to end slavery? A third of the free population in the south owned slave and only a small population owned multiple slaves and the plantations that are the modern portrayal of historical slavery. Why couldn't the US government work with the slave owners in order to compensate them for their "property?" Also, if you don't think that the Union government viewed slaves as property, then you didn't know that the Emancipation Proclamation was only legal because it viewed taking the slaves as taking enemy property.

You fucking lost? We all lost. You're just too much of an asshole to see it. Also, if you hate the south so much, then why argue against secession? You should be encouraging them to leave so that you don't have to put up with having the horrible southerners that are "as bad as ISIS" in your country. Just face it, you don't give a shit about America. You just like having your way at the expense of others. Just like every other asshole that doesn't respect the country's history nor the country itself.
