My gig grandfather returned from Point Lookout in June 1865 a mere 87 pounds. A great deal more than 12,000 Confederates died in those camps. In the Chicago camp their deaths were profited from by the camp commander selling their bodies as cadavers. He then lied to his superiors and said they had been buried. But that's what Yankees do best, LIE. If it was for this so called righteous cause, then why did Sherman take up his pontoon bridge behind him an watch dozens of blacks drowned in the Chattahoochee river???? I'll tell you why. Because he was a war criminal who should have been hung. And so was Lincoln.

It was one huge economic interest winning over another. And that was all. Slavery was a horrible thing, but it was just as mean, as I said, just like machineries, seeds, money, horses and so forth. The mistake, here, is that we consider the end of it, through all the struggle and pain we ‘ve been speaking about which in my opinion were unnecessary, like the end of a very naughty world. As I’ve mentioned before, slavery ended in Brazil only a few years after the War without any pain. And we are talking about a nation which was still to be discovered so, following your reasoning, slaves would have been needed very much, though slavery ended just because it’s time was up!!! <br />The same would have happened in the South, whether they liked it or not, because it just had become to embarrassing for European nations or any other to deal with them. Very simply, otherwise we can’t explain Brazil’s decision.<br />And let me tell you, as a European I know Portuguese people were amongst the worst ones in their colonies!<br />Nice hearing you talking about your history but believe me, there’s no need. I am perfectly aware of everything you say. Especially when you talk about the Natives.<br />it’s not a case that the last land unit of the CS Army to surrender was the Cherokee Mounted Rifles lead by General Stand Watie, a Cherokee himself. The Indian Nations allied themselves to…guess what…the CSA, when they could have easily done guerrilla war behind Confederate lines.<br />All this history doesn’t change the main point anyway. If you were right, with the end of slavery in your country everything would have been fine but, let me tell you, you still nowadays dream about the social services like health care that we have in Europe! <br />Your nation has been and still is in the hands of a bunch of slave traders, not only from the South but mainly carpet baggers (like the Bush family) who still treat workers like slaves only with the hypocrisy of pretending they live in a free world. <br />Anyway the balkanization of the USA has happened, it is within it and between it and the rest of the world!<br />I really hope that will change but I know it won't be painless for the world...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6971823835434059276.post-67140784779041958432013-03-26T09:34:20.787-07:002013-03-26T09:34:20.787-07:00Citizen Stefano Ambrosi:
The Civil War was not, ...Citizen Stefano Ambrosi: <br /><br />The Civil War was not, by any means, the first nor the last war in the land called the USA. First and foremost, the USA was not "Terra nullius" or the "land belonging to no one." There were 500 indigenous nations that existed on this land, BEFORE they were cleansed from the land and whitewashed out of the historic narrative. BEFORE the cotton kingdom of the deep south became a Confederate enclave it was highly contested land of many Native American Indians as well as European claims in Spain, France, and Great Britain. <br /><br />Only 4 rebellious Confederate states were among the original 13 states -- Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia -- Tennessee and Kentucky were cut out of the Carolinas and Virginia, respectively -- the Cotton Kingdom of the deep southern states of Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana became apart of the union AFTER the ethnic-cleansing, land-grab War of 1812 -- Fresh off the heels of the War of 1812, the then General Andrew Jackson started invading Florida during the Seminole Wars, in 1819 the land was sold to the USA by Spain -- Texas was a shameless land-grab from Mexico during the Presidents Taylor's and Polk's Administration -- California became a state in 1850.<br /><br />The Civil War was about the WESTWARD EXPANSION OF SLAVERY into the newly acquired states and territories, not about the institution of slavery itself. <br /><br />The Civil War didn't even start with the firing on Fort Sumter, it began with the Jayhawkers vs. the Bushwhackers in Kansas -- they call it Bleeding Kansas (1856). AGAIN, the South Carolina Palmeto State flag flew LONG BEFORE the Confederate Southern Cross ever flew over the contested lands of Kansas over what question .... SLAVERY EXPANSION. <br /><br />There were more than two sides in the Civil War, it wasn't just about the North vs. South. There were Free Soilers (anti-slavery, anti-black, yeomen farmers), the Copperheads (pro-slavery northerners), Pro-Union Southerners (largest stronghold could be found when pro-union West Virginia seceded from Virginia), Know Nothing Party (anti-Catholic, anti-immigrant, anti-Jewish) ... the country wasn't in a two-way split, but a complete ideological implosion. It's cute how history is packaged into neat compartments, because the truth is way too complex for most people to handle. <br /><br />Who benefited from the Civil War? The USA. It became a large nation with two major oceans (Pacific and Atlantic), that opened trade with Asia as well as with Europe; the United States became a superpower that excelled beyond its European counterparts in France, England, Spain, Ireland, the Netherlands and Germany. The land became more democratic for white men, more free for all people (except the original inhabitants, the Native Americans who were sequestered on to reservations and controlled by the Department of Interiors and Department of Indian Affairs and of course Americans with one-drop of African blood were sequestered in ghetto colonies across the USA as Jim Crow Apartheid laws of "separate but equal" became entrenched). <br /><br />In other words, the US Civil War decreased the likelihood of sectional balkanization of the United States.<br /><br />--Ron Edwards, US Slave Blog Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10711403108940797592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6971823835434059276.post-43827802658019687622013-03-26T06:48:57.277-07:002013-03-26T06:48:57.277-07:00Question is: who benefited from the war, not from ...Question is: who benefited from the war, not from the slavery that was just another mean to make money.<br />You are a smart bloke, don't fossilize yourself on slavery and look beyond it.<br />In the USA it was slavery, somewhere else it was and is something else.

I think of it as a declarative statement: WHO BENEFITS!<br /><br />After 246 years, or 12 generations of perpetual racialized slavery who benefited? or another 100 years of racialized Jim Crow Apartheid? Who benefits?<br /><br />400 years of racialized oppression -- who benefits?<br /><br />The Confederacy regained control of the land, labor, and political resources of the south. They re-enslaved their black population with elaborate black codes *the Mississippi Plan*, sharecropping, peonage, and the convict leasing system (you should read Douglas Blackmon's "Slavery By Another Name" for a more full explanation of how slavery was continued in the USA until WWII). <br /><br />So, who benefited from slavery? Certainly, it was the Planter Plutocrats, the Lords of the Loom (in New England and Old England), Wall Street-like Cotton Exchanges in New Orleans, Memphis, Alabama, etc., slave traders who rode the slave bubble until the end of the Civil War, merchant shippers, ship builders, iron works, salt works, mining concerns, lumber companies; white males (voting rights were extended and more inclusive, public was offered for the first time in the south -- most whites were illiterate during the heyday of the old south). <br /><br />Blacks were just given the middle finger, or their neck in a noose for making the south the richest land in the USA. <br /><br />You tell me who benefits.<br /><br />--Ron Edwards, US Slave BlogRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10711403108940797592noreply@blogger.com
