This book was written by my great grandfather. He was a racist piece of shit. And this book is terribly written. But it is in defense of the south during the civil war. Enjoy.

Telling history is about getting a better sense of self, place and frame of mind. The book is about why there’s such ingrained racism.

Not surprising that he's sympathetic to the southern cause, if that's how some of his family earned their wealth, but he was born in 1916...way after slavery had ended; way later than still being Jewish was a viable excuse for being based.

>In 1998, the author Tony Horwitz visited Foote for his book Confederates in the Attic, a meeting in which Foote declared he was "dismayed" by the "behavior of blacks, who are fulfilling every dire prophesy the Ku Klux Klan made", and that African Americans were "acting as if the utter lie about blacks being somewhere between ape and man were true".[54] Foote emphasized that his loyalties during the 1860s would have been to white Southerners: "I’d be with my people, right or wrong."[55] Foote also argued that freedmen had led to the failure of Reconstruction and that the Confederate flag represented "law, honour, love of country."[55] Foote stated that he would have been willing to fight to maintain slavery: "If I was against slavery, I'd still be with the South. I'm a man, my society needs me, here I am."[37]

The American Revolution, and the Revolutionary War, was and still is one of the most pivotal moments for bringing America into leading the world economically and socially, the other being our entrance into WW2.

I responded with a book recommendation for the roots of the civil war to help put it into context.
But some monkeys ITT are far too spooked to want an education on the topic and prefer Wikipedia blurbs.

The war of independence turned out to be a lie of a revolution. It was just for profits, not freedom for the masses who fought it. I am not impressed (on some levels) by the mess that capitalism has made of the world. I’ve said before what I would like to see take its place.

Slavery is not the result of laziness, by the way. It's the result of ambition, which lazy immigrants who piggyback off of other nations all lack, hence why they do little else besides whine.

It was actually the opposite. You can be certain that the British officers who instilled the Colonial government rewarded those for shipping crops back to Britain.

The only reason the revolution happened is because of the people in the first place. And the fact that there were Anti-Federalists is more than enough proof that the sentiment of government getting in the way was always going to be a central part of American culture and still is.

It leads the question of why you are so against the American government if you're against greed. To be against greed is a religious sentiment: greed is a major sin. You are living in one of the last major religious bulwarks against the tide of extreme government intervention like many of the European countries.

The fact that you almost had an insurrection at the capitol shows how dedicated people are to an ideology which eschews government intervention.

You might be hot, but you're very close to being on the right track :3 (and it's not Marxist Communism, as I'm sure you know)
