In the Steven Universe timeline the Confederacy won the Civil War due to Crystal Gem intervention. They were told that they were helping these rebels escape an oppressive dictatorship. When they found out about the slavery they ended up forcibly holding hostage the Southern leaders. After all of this, the two warring nations merged, and an agreement was made that the Gems will not interfere in human conflicts, while human governments will let the Gems handle magic shit.

This is real. From the upcoming lorebook. Screencap it

the south was essentially already a capitalist shit hole for decades and decades before that tho.

South rebelled because of the growing power of the federal government was threatening power of the states. Admitting free states meant that the North would have more political power and would out vote the South on every issue, one being slavery of course, but that wasn't the only issue. Stuff like the Supreme Court making gay marriage legal in every state without any say so by the state is the kind of thing the South knew was coming.

No one ever mentions that Lincoln only freed slaves in the south where he held no actual political sway.

>>92655349
Because if he tried to free the slaves in Union controlled states people under him would have gotten pissed off, refused to fight and maybe even defect. It was easier to do it how he did to make the South look shitty and he was going to free them all when he won anyway, at that point he had to.

Lincoln cared about saving the country by any means necessary, and abolishing slavery in the South helped cripple the Confederate economy, by inciting slaves to rebel and run away.

Kinda tough to vote in the election of a country that you started a war to not be a part of. Voting in the US election in 1864 would only be possible if you gave up on the whole "We're a confederation of sovereign powers independent from you now" thing they had going on.

I don't even give a fuck about slavery or the war or anything; I'm pretty sure I have ancestors who fought for the union. I can't stand the concept of northerners today acting like self-righteous fucks because of something that ended 150 years ago. If their climate wasn't too shitty for crops they would've had slaves too. They fucking did have slaves to an extent, but that goes against their bullshit little black and white hero narrative.

And then I also go to a Southern uni that's borderline invaded by New Yorkers thinking they're better than everyone from here. That's extremely petty, but I'm a petty person.

>>92655755
>South Carolina literally shot first.
OK
>>
>>92655740
The point was that Southern states felt incredibly anxious at the fact that Northern states had just elected a candidate from an Abolitionist party without needing to win a single electoral vote from the entire south. It was exceedingly concerning to Southern states that Northern states could hoist whatever candidate they chose over the South and there was nothing they could do about it. See, the South was concerned about a balance of power so that would have effective veto power against any perceived attacks on their state sovereignty. Lincoln's election signaled that the balance of power was disrupted and was the flashpoint for secession.

The North DID have slaves. Past tense. Slavery was voted out of those states, though.

The North also did have tons of agriculture. Their agrarian output was on par with The South. The difference was the kind of crops. Cotton fucking sucks to pick by hand as opposed to shit like wheat which you can just swipe with a scythe and gather up into big bundles.

Also lol? You're the ones who can't get over what happened 150 years ago.
>>
>>92649789
You know, the Confederacy didn't actually stop fighting the war after the "End of the Civil War" the North declared the war over and forced the leaders of the South to sign a treaty under force, but most of the South didn't actually give up that fight.

We like to think of wars, especially wars America fought, as having very cut and dry starts and ends. When it starts, we fight, we win or lose, and then it ends and that's it. We think of ourselves as the victors for better or worse usually and ignore the fact that obviously the people in power aren't just going to bend over backwards and let their empire fall once their leader has been removed. There was literally nothing stopping the South (who had won most battles of the Civil War) from just picking a new leader and starting over. And they did. For decades, even. The South actually kept fighting an winning quite a bit. History rarely reflects this, because we like to think that the heroes won the war and that was that, but the truth is far more bleak.

Slavery was actually returned to Southern slave holders and then abolished and then returned more than a few times during the continuation of the Civil War that occurred after the "conclusion" of it. Eventually, the fighting stopped but by then a lot of Southern leaders had slipped into the Government and were granting the South powers anyway. The old "The South will rise again!" thing is based on the idea that some southerners have that the Civil War never truly concluded, and they're aren't technically wrong. There just isn't a huge reason to keep fighting anymore. Mostly because they sort of won. The fighting that continued after the "conclusion" of the Civil War showed the strength of the South and high government positions being taken by Southern leaders sort of prove it. The return of slavery (ignoring that it was removed and returned multiple times) is a pretty good example of the South just straight up out enduring the North. That shit is crazy.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm not entirely sure how a quick end to the Civil War would effect the actual History of the US after it's conclusion. Or whether or not it's believable that anyone on either side would have allowed such a quick end to the War. It's...it's kind of unbelievable, honestly. Even setting aside the whole idea that the Civil War was about slavery to begin with. It's unbelievable that any of this AU would be true considering how sloppy the Civil War was from the start.

So ... you're saying it was about slavery then? Because they were worried about the non-slave states being able to get anti-slave legislation through congress they decided to rebel?

OK. If you still think it's about anything other than slavery I'll give you a quick analogy. Imagine for a moment that New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine are super keen on making it a crime to misgender someone (or insert any other overreaching Tumblr far Left pink commie shit you feel like). Like, you call a Kaitlyn Jenner a "he" and you actually serve jail time. The rest of the country is like, "Mmm, naa. Fuck that" and because those states together don't have enough electoral votes to put in a sympathetic president or enough votes in congress to get any legislation through they decide to just go off and become their own country and it starts a war.

Tell me this ... if someone from Maine (in this hypothetical scenario) later told you that the war had nothing to do with trans rights you'd tell them they're full of shit right?
>>
>>92655806
I think the South is pretty cool, even though I've never been, and I live in Alaska, so I really don't have a dog in the fight, but every time some good 'ol boy starts talking about the "War of Northern Aggression" I lose my mind. One of my good friends dated a girl from Georgia, and she did a pretty good impression of the pro-South side of this thread right now. I'm just tired of it.

If you interpreted that as "it was about slavery then" then we've come in an impasse that won't be breached.

A more appropriate parallel is Britain and WW1. Saying Britain fought WW1 for guaranteeing Belgian Neutrality might be technically true, since the violation of Belgian Neutrality by Germany is why Britain declared war, but it ignores everything that lead up to that point and gives you a shallow understanding of why Britain and Germany were arrayed against each other in the first place.

The South is full of pro-Confederate rednecks if you don't live near major cities, they're pretty much racist to anyone who doesn't pass as white and will attack anyone if they look slightly foreign and tell them to go back to their own country, even if they born in America and lived in it for their whole life.

States Rights are sacrosanct

the Fugitive Slave Law was a great idea
>>
>>92655936
He phrased it kind of weird, but basically, right after the war, freed slaves had all the rights of normal citizens and were starting their own farms, people were coming down from the North to educate these freed slaves, and things were looking good. Fast-forward five to ten years and blacks are being lynched, burned at the stake, beaten and jailed. The northern "carpetbaggers" who came down to South were being run out and Jim Crow laws were instituted to keep black people from voting. What changed? Terror. The rise of groups like the KKK as well as other, smaller, organized groups created a campaign of bloodshed and scare tactics to enforce white control over the South. And for the most part, it totally worked.

You'd make a great spin doctor for a political campaign. Need I remind you that secession happened directly in response to Lincoln's election which was intolerable to them, so any argument that the south's position was on the side of democracy is laughable right at the outset. Add to that that the constitution set out a perfectly fine system of self governance, but never had in it any method of secession, because its framers didn't think that was something that should be in there, whereas it has clear powers for the federal government to have the power to suppress insurrection.

Not democratic.
>>
>>92656309
I'm not that same poster.

But look ... there's this thing democracies do called "voting." It's where you ask the population of a country to pick an answer to a question (IE: "Who's turn is it to be in charge?" or "Would this be a good new law?") The answer that gets the most votes is the one that the country goes with. Sometimes your side wins and sometimes your side loses. You might view this as The Many forcing their opinions on The Few and that's not entirely untrue, but in a lot of ways it's a pretty fair way to do things.

The South found themselves in a situation where they were The Few and decided "Hey, maybe we'll just make our own country?" so that their minority opinions could be acted upon without being bullied by the majority (which all lived far away in another place). So yes, secession was motivated by a lack of representation of the South's interests in the US government.

But here's the thing ... the only issue of any significance that the South and North differed on, and you can confirm this by reading each state's letters of secession which are all available online, was slavery. Seriously, go read those letters and hit ctrl+F for words like "slave" "slavery" "negro" "race" and "supremacy." It's pretty amazing. And this isn't coming from some East Coast elite college professor or some shit. It's literally spelled out in completely unambiguous terms by the leaders of the Southern states. It's a first hand primary source.

You did say something about Lincoln tampering with the 1860 election and not collecting votes from Southern States. I have not heard about this before, though truthfully I'm a big initially incredulous. I feel like if that were true and provable then every argument about The War's causes seriously buried the lead.

>>92656546
The electoral college says hi.
>>
>>92656433
Ignoring your shit example.

The Union had no reason to give in to the Confederates or give up a federal fort.

The South could have tried diplomacy or biding their time with non-aggression until a foreign power supported them. But no, like dumb hicks they attacked first justifying Northern quelling of this insurgency.
>>
>>92656468
The problem is that legally, they would have needed some kind of constitutional amendment to make secession constitutional. The 10th amendment gives powers to the states, but only those powers not granted to the federal government by the constitution, and the constitution has already said that it and the laws made by congress are the supreme law of the land, and nothing state legislatures do can undermine that. This means the South was still subject to US law, Lincoln was still their president, and their "secession" was meaningless.

So where does that leave Lincoln? "Oh, well I guess from now on we're just going to let states unilaterally do things that states aren't allowed to do, and our Union means nothing! Doop dee doo!" No. He knew they were on the verge of some kind of military action, and he had every right to keep a US base on US soil stocked and ready in case words became outright rebellion, which they did.

The electoral college is anti-democratic. Do you know what 'democracy' means? It means literally 'citizens rule'. If a minority of people are foisting a decision on the majority, that's anti-democratic.
>>
>>92656557
The point he's making is that the North could control the South, because they were the majority. No matter what, the South was going to lose elections from then on because they were the minority. So in a sense, their votes didn't "count" because the North could decide everything. They still actually tabulated all the votes and stuff.
>>

Hurt your feelings hick?

>>92656630
Then the Civil War was a very important lesson for our budding democracy: sometimes you're outvoted. Sometimes in the participatory system you're part of, you're not going to get your way, because you're outnumbered by people who want something different for their government. And you can accept that possibility, and campaign harder, and make common cause, an eventually realize that some policy you like doesn't have the power to sustain itself, or you can throw a little bitchfit and attack your neighbors for voting differently, and get slapped so hard it still stings 150 years later. Popular rule means that the people rule, It doesn't mean that each man is his own king answerable to no one but himself, but I guess on their little private fiefdoms, the plantation owners had forgotten that.
>>
>>92656775
This.
>>
>>92656757
I never said otherwise to that. Which makes me wonder why you (or someone else) would use the argument that Abraham Lincoln had democratic legitimacy when America isn't a democracy nor was he democratically chosen by a majority of citizens. The founding fathers were anti-democratic in the way they set up America and purposely made choices that make it difficult for the majority to express their will. The constitutional amendment process is extraordinarily rigorous for this reason.
>>
>>92656775
I'd argue it was more a case that they hadn't forgotten anything on their fiefdoms. Rather, they were aware how at risk they were of losing them, and to do so would mean either an end of their livelihoods and/or a costly attempt to restructure themselves economically. And so many problems, and demonizations, and deaths of empathy arise from the fear that you or your family won't have enough.

I mean, their 'enough' was being obtained through fucking slavery, so it's a bit indefensible in retrospect, but still.

The SECESSION was about slavery. For the aristocracy and major players of the South, who signed off. The farmer sided with his land, the generals sided with their homes. The right of that peaceful secession was in the core, but that core was about the right of slavehood.

BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THE WAR WAS ABOUT SLAVERY

The WAR was about Lincoln's refusal to accept secession and the crises involving military forts and the dispersal or transference of them. Military escalation began a Northern campaign to attack the Southern States, (hence the term War of Northern Aggression) and while abolition was part of the cultural clash it wasn't until several years later that it became a legal issue. To frame the war as a war about slavery is to frame the whole North as some moral crusader and the whole South as some wicked beast, sick with cultural hate and stubbornness.

And I'll admit that we Southerners have our hearts and our hardness on our sleeve, and we have our share of sin and manipulation, the banner of Dixie is not about the countrymen of Louisiana or Alabama, but about you. You Northern who framed my ancestors as wicked, who portrayed my Appalachian brothers as incestuous rapists, or my children as decidedly retarded. For culturally and economically forcing the accent I was born with to be seen as improper or unintelligent. To chastise the people of the South for hate, and see nothing wrong with coded terms and hushed breaths that cover what we Southerners know and accept about living together rather easily. The banner and the rally is for YOU, to remind you that we are still a proud people, and while you tear down our statues of fallen generals and soldiers, while you burn our flags or tell us we were wrong for believing in our families, we do not go to that zeitgeist willingly. It is waved to remind you that this is a marriage at gunshot, and it may still break down. So mind your Ps and Qs about my heritage, and I'll mind mine on yours.

No Goring still lead the Luftwaffe, and continues their military presence in German life, but later expanded the technology to space travel, (albiet with a slice of the moon as off-limits to expansion, per the wishes of the Crystal Gems). Mars has few humans, due to the Union's colonialist pushes bogging down travel, but a colony does exist in small numbers.
Himmler's animist passions helped him to foster the Gottgläubig movement into a neo Paganist movement to reconnect with German pre-Christian spirituality, as a sort of Shintoist parallel to life. Counter-culturals frame it as 'State Dogma' but most Gottians are seen as good people albiet esoteric and rural. Most in the urban centers have just become atheist.
And Goebells influenced post-1940s Berlin movie productions as he moved to the private sectors as an euntrepenuer, and funded Leni Riefenstahl's film schools in quality nationalist and historical films that shaped the legacy of filmmaking for decades ahead.

Well considering that marxism only took hold because of the extreme poverty of the serfs and the incompetence of the tsar, the intellectual ivory tower that it sprung from wouldn't have taken roots there.

It's actually spreading very militants there today in some countries, along with islamism.

>it wasn't MY POST that was wrong! I SWARE I was JUST Posting a strawman about your argument construing it to be about the civil war and not an attack on the strawman that was "the use of the Gadsden flag is improper for conservatives because it meant fuck america"
yeah ok m8
have fun making bullshit arguments unrelated to other bullshit arguments and getting called a retard for it.

>>92660812
Haha, that's right viewers. I knew ALL ALONG he actually thought I mentioned the Gadsden flag in any of my posts! I just wanted to see if he needed my help to realize the truth, and he did!

Also, who do you think you're fooling with >>92660730 ?

>Muh states rights
The South were a bunch of hypocrites who violated the rights of other states (Fugitive Slave Act) and were even more centralized than the Union, and now the whole idea of States' Rights is posioned because of them
>>
>>92652567
It was fought over both slavery and states rights. The north held the power to outvote the south on any political issue, while the south were getting ready to cut themselves off into a new country. Since the north didn't particularly need slavery, banning it was an easy way to cripple the south's economy to the point where it couldn't try to break off again.

Both sides were just using slavery for political means, similar to when slave owners pushed to give them voting rights. Neither side really gave much of a shit about the morality of it, other than the north needing a better justification for it than "fuck the south".

Technically the plan was for america to use it's resources to help jumpstart a new nation for freed slaves in africa since most american slaves were so far removed from the culture of their ancestors.

I'm just waiting for somebody to start shitposting about the correct sauce to use when barbecuing.

One of my college professors actually taught that the Civil War wasn't about slavery. He was a Brit, though.

Yup. Uncanny with their insertions, too. I've had PragerU ads try to sell me on voucher schools, the fundamental requirement of religion to be an ethical person, and how fucking great bank deregulation was, on literal Slavoj Zizek videos.

Siberia is gone for sure, but not whole Russia
If that was before humans, it could be that where is a Russia on the left and on the other side of crater whole other country (possibly it's Chinese or Mongolian territory).
>>
>>92659356

I always try to imagine just what human history would look like with a map like that. I imagine some pretty radical changes would happen because of this, not to mention the environmental changes that would occur in a number of them.

Russia would probably still exist, but would likly not be as spread out. The area east of it would probably be dominated by tribes who may or may not be over taken by the Japanese Empire when they arrive on the scene, as I doubt even if the Russians wanted to expand to there they would probably have trouble holding it.

The north still had child labor and indentured servitude that often technically became illegal slavery. You can't challenge your rights as a servant if you're illiterate and don't speak english.

The bitching about crops was more that the federal government and its tariffs on imported/exported goods. Taxes were set up to favor the northern economy of finished textiles and shit on the southern one of raw material.

I'd tell them they're right.

Unless the reasons for separation officially listed trans rights as being the reason for separation.

America, the only place where we elect monuments to traitors of the country.

Living in the south sucks dude.

If you must do it I suggest:

1. Live in a blue bubble city.
2. Don't be a minority.

The people are a lot nicer (upfront) compared to their northern counterparts but it is pure sicking how much the politicians push the states into becoming Iran Jr and the people just follow along blindly. Hell in Alabama we have an "unofficial" religious office that receives tax payer funding.

And you learned nothing, apparently.

>>92655977

Yes. It has nothing to do with trans rights. Trans rights are the "straw that broke the camel's back," but not the casus belli. The casus belli in this case being "state rights and preserving the Union."

Another one of Sugar's masterful storytelling and worldbuilding. Better than Tolkien.

The world being marred by the constant battle between good and evil and becoming round because of human ambition daring to challenge even the gods? Fuck that, just have Confederates winning the Civil War, and have the continents fucked up for no reason.
