No.

To quote the other thread, the South chimped out, seceded and attacked U.S. federal property when they realized they couldn't stop the election a moderate Republican with no expressed intent of abolishing slavery.

Might as well post this pre-emptively before Southerners do the whole "hurr it reverted to South Carolina land when we seceded" bullshit:
>"Resolved, That this state do cede to the United States, all the right, title and claim of South Carolina to the site of Fort Sumter and the requisite quantity of adjacent territory
>"Also resolved: That the State shall extinguish the claim, if any valid claim there be, of any individuals under the authority of this State, to the land hereby ceded.
>"Resolved, That this House to agree. Ordered that it be sent to the Senate for concurrence. By order of the House:
>"T. W. Glover, C. H. R."
>"In Senate, December 21st, 1836
>"Resolved, that the Senate do concur. >Ordered that it be returned to the House of Representatives, By order:
>Jacob Warly, C. S.

As for "old treaties don't apply to a new nation:"
The states that formed the Confederacy justified their secession under the assumption that the United States is a compact of independent states, and that each state has the ability to leave the Union under the constitution. Therefore, the very justification for the separation of South Carolina from the Union is an admission that this is the selfsame State of South Carolina that had agreed to cede the land on which Fort Sumter was built to the US federal government. To repudiate this treaty with the US government would be to repudiate the very (questionable) legal basis upon which South Carolina declared its secession lawful.

Some people really just don't get it. Of course, it wasn't about slavery. It was just about states' rights to perpetuate slavery and have a specific article in the confederate constitution permanently banning the abolition of slavery.

We know that Slave-owners where a tiny minority of the Southern population, so how did they convince so many other southerners, who didn't really benefit from slavery at all, to fight in this dumbass war? Furthermore, why did they believe they would be able to win a war against the more populated, more industrialized, and better educated northern states? They must have believed that they were going to get help from Britain or something. And that might have happened except Britain didn't want to be seen as helping to preserve slavery.

Bacon's Rebellion led directly to the exclusive use of African slaves in the southern colonies. The white formerly indentured servants were kicked to Appalachia where they languished and their descendants are still languishing. The planter dandies pulled off one of the earliest propaganda programs ever in convincing poor whites that they were in any higher a station than enslaved blacks. They did it so well that rednecks in Tennessee hills still believe the south will "rise again".

Looking at the 1860 election as a whole, I can sort of understand why the South seceded. Despite being divided, had the Democrats remained a whole party, they still would have lost by a pretty big margin. Some of you say that Lincoln wouldn't have touched slavery where it existed, you're right, but Lincoln had plans to curb its expansion into other territories. This meant that the South would always be in the minority in terms of being represented by the Federal government. Not to mention, the whole John Brown situation being openly celebrated by the North would have caused some people in the South to become disagreeable with the Union. Didn't Sumter happen because they were sending more men to reinforce the fort? If I were in Davis's shoes, I would have waited it out.

About half of white southerners were either slave-owners, or members of slave-owning households. Slave owners were also drastically over represented in the Confederate army.

>Even more revealing was their attachment to slavery. Among the enlistees in 1861, slightly more than one in ten owned slaves personally. This compared favorably to the Confederacy as a whole, in which one in every twenty white persons owned slaves. Yet more than one in every four volunteers that first year lived with parents who were slaveholders. Combining those soldiers who owned slaves with those soldiers who lived with slaveholding family members, the proportion rose to 36 percent. That contrasted starkly with the 24.9 percent, or one in every four households, that owned slaves in the South, based on the 1860 census. Thus, volunteers in 1861 were 42 percent more likely to own slaves themselves or to live with family members who owned slaves than the general population.

>The attachment to slavery, though, was even more powerful. One in every ten volunteers in 1861 did not own slaves themselves but lived in households headed by non family members who did. This figure, combined with the 36 percent who owned or whose family members owned slaves, indicated that almost one of every two 1861 recruits lived with slaveholders. Nor did the direct exposure stop there. Untold numbers of enlistees rented land from, sold crops to, or worked for slaveholders. In the final tabulation, the vast majority of the volunteers of 1861 had a direct connection to slavery. For slaveholder and nonslaveholder alike, slavery lay at the heart of the Confederate nation. The fact that their paper notes frequently depicted scenes of slaves demonstrated the institution's central role and symbolic value to the Confederacy.

The one good thing to come out of the civil war was the destruction and reaping of West Virginia the next 100 years after.

So white people have a higher IQ than blacks and a right to enslave them.

I don't know what kind of pet owner rapes and whips his dog either, despite occuring frequently during slavery.
Yes, black people are human and fully capable of interbreeding with other races. Wow it's almost like calling them inhuman is an attempt to dehumanize them and thereby justify the atrocities you want to commit. By this logic, the more industrialized and educated north could simply declare Southerners to be inhuman apes and enslave them.

The concept of IQ or even innate, racial intelligence was not present during this time. Racism as we know it didn't exist until much later. At the time it was pure "we are the owners, you are the niggers" and that was that.

Not all the slave owners did that to their slaves. The violence waged against slaves was rarely the owners but instead the overseers. It wasn't even so uncommon that slaves would complain about harsh treatment to the owners who would punish or replace overseers.

Why would the slave master treat his workers poorly and risk them escaping. dying, or being beaten to the point which they could not work. They were whipped only when they truly deserved it.

Eh, I have to disagree with this. Some, including myself, would contend that once the indentured servitude of poor whites was phased out and the exclusive use of Africans as non-waged agricultural labor was the point at which 'black' was generated as a distinction from 'white', even if the actual terminology did not arise until later.

Yeah but the ratio was even worse during the War of Southern autism when almost all of the military's officer corps defected and the few remaining Union generals had to rebuild the army from scratch.

The results would be the same, northern liberals grinding southern conservatives under the weight of their wealth, industrial might, and diplomatic edge, but even worse for the south unless they happen to luck out twice in a row with a rare military genius for a commanding general who didn't even support their cause to begin with but decided to fight for them any way. The Union had no problem smacking the confederates up and down the Mississippi because Lee couldn't be in two places at once.

The thing is, making all new states free states would have heavily tipped the electoral math heavily in favor of anti-slavery politicians, and there would be a lot more senators and congressmen from free states than there would have been from slave states, and that could have lead to more anti-slave legislation down the line.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a Yankee who'd just as soon call it the Great Southern Chimp Out, so don't take that as excusing them. The most delicious irony is that the harder they fought the worse they made it for themselves. For example the 14th amendment would never have gotten passed if it hadn't been for the fact that the U.S Army had freed and armed so many blacks due to the war dragging on for as long as it did, and they needed to figure out what to do with them all before the war ended so letting them keep their freedom was deemed the most logical choice after a shit load of arm twisting in Washington. This probably would not have happened if Antietam had been a smashing Union success and the war ended then. And it was only under emergency war time powers that Lincoln was able to free the slaves at all.

Anyone else get sort of sad about Reconstruction?
We had such a great chance to destroy the South and their "culture" and punish the traitors but didn't go far enough

Oy vey! The vast majority of Virginian soldiers sided with the CSA. It's funny watching the mental gymnastics that Yankees go through when they lionize the earlier Virginian planters and demonize the latter Virginian planters. Pro tip, Washington's entire family sided with the CSA and Arlington house never belonged to Lee but Washington's adopted descendents instead.

Instead you just got millions of blacks in your cities and 300,000 dead yankees. Don't be Butthurt kzewoski, I'm sure the manufacturing jobs will come back.

Oh you know, there's this funny little issue of slavery exploding after the introduction of the cotton gin rather than gradually diminishing that distinguishes early Virginians from later ones.

Early Virginians were principled but by the time of the civil war, greed had corrupted them and they needed to be put back in their place.

Bitch please, northern manufacturing is stronger than its ever been. Most of the job loss has been a result of automation, and the jobs which shipped overseas were the ones making cheap, commercial junk which wouldn't matter if there was a second Great Southern Chimp Out.

About 1/3 of southern families owned slaves, not one half. Unless you're implying that any interaction with a slave owner makes you a member of a slave owning household. Also your green text refers specifically to the confederate army of northern virginia. Don't you think its misleading to imply the entire confederate armed forces has the same statistics?

Typical whitewashing of the founders. Slaves made up the same portion of the south's population in 1790 as they did in 1860. The declaration itself complains about the British exciting slave rebellions. The patriots were on the side of slavery, just accept it.

They also believed the vote extended only to land-owning white males, but I don't fault them for that. Times, circumstances and sentiments were not the same in 1861 as they were in 1790.

>Virginia - 39% (1790) > 31% (1861)
>North Carolina - 26% (1790) < 33% (1861)
>South Carolina - 42% (1790) < 57% (1861)
>Georgia - 35% (1790) < 44% (1861)
So 3/4ths of the original 13 colony slave states had more slaves than before.

Only in Virginia (the state where a whole hunk of the population straight up seceded from Virginia to remain in the Union), Delaware and Maryland (both of which remained loyal of the Union) did the percentage of slaves decrease from 1790 to 1861. Really makes you think.
