Confederate Myths

@KokoKonarik @AntiWokeMemes Lincoln didn't form the Republican party. He joined a few years after it was formed.

@AntiWokeMemes Libs need to you out of their pocket. They bought slaves from a black man in Africa who kidnapped and shipped them to the South. Lincoln formed the Republicans to stop slavery. The KKK was formed to stop Civil Rights in the South. Biden’s best friend was a Klan leader named Bird

Will you ever give them your money?

@SpringerRC24720 Lincoln didn't ignore the US Supreme Court.

Rep. Goldman, the constitution does not give any U.S. court authority in Immigration, which includes Federal Law Enforcement. President's Lincoln and Biden ignored the Supreme Court. Congress did nothing when Biden ignored SCOTUS findings thereby establishing legal precedent. Blame Congress for weakening the need to comply with U.S. courts in the global communities eyes.

@TheDegenDog @BroncoWeirdo @DerdrickDWms @Maga4liberty Lincoln wasn't pen pals with Marx.

@BroncoWeirdo @DerdrickDWms @Maga4liberty The GOP started as a far left liberal party. FFS- Lincoln was pen pals with Marx. Vote for ideas not brands. You are the one that needs to get an education.

🚨 STEPHEN A. SMITH DROPS THE RED PILL: “I wish every Black person would vote Republican in ONE election.” What would happen if millions actually did it just once? 👇🔥

@CapitolHistory He said of Preston Brooks cousin, Andrew Butler that he was taking "a mistress . . . who, though ugly to others, is always lovely to him; though polluted in the sight of the world, is chaste in his sight—I mean," added Sumner, "the harlot, Slavery."

#OTD in #history, 1856, Charles Sumner was caned half-to-death on the Senate floor. The heinous act was retaliation for his inflammatory speech about the evils of slavery. Two years before Lincoln warned of a “House Divided,” many already wondered how long that house would stand.

This person claims to be a history professor.

@jebsmith764 @1armsteve @tee_kae63561 @HistoryBoutique I know what it says. Congress isn't needed to pass an amendment abolishing slavery though.

@ConfederateMyth @1armsteve @tee_kae63561 @HistoryBoutique “No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State” -Crowin Amendment

If you don’t know about John Quincy Adams, the end is a God moment if I’ve ever heard one. Our 6th president fought to abolish slavery & didn’t win, but guess who was in Congress at the same time? A young Abraham Lincoln, our 16th President who… Enjoy!

@DFish4040 @IanMWolfe @BaltimoreBanner 30% of the population of the south was black. And 94% of those were slaves. 99.99% of black people in the North were free. Every northern state had free black people and only a few restricted or made it difficult to move there. They weren't fighting to hard to keep them out.

@ConfederateMyth @IanMWolfe @BaltimoreBanner 2% of the entire population of N states was black. The notion that N states fought Civil War for the benefit of AA is absurd. The N states fought to keep AAs out of their states.

Baltimore’s Confederate monuments are returning to the city. What now? buff.ly/iHN1VjL

@jebsmith764 @1armsteve @tee_kae63561 @HistoryBoutique It only prevented an amendment allowing congress to interfere with slavery where it existed. They could still pass laws, rules, etc against slavery on federal property or other states. Csa secretary of state Toombs said it did nothing they didn't already have.

@ConfederateMyth @1armsteve @tee_kae63561 @HistoryBoutique Could you explain how it did not protect slavery? And why it was suggested if slavery was not an issue I do agree that when slavery was an issue it was the western territories, few realize that nor the implications

@tprince333 @1armsteve @tee_kae63561 @HistoryBoutique The only thing it did was permanently limit slavery to where it already existed. Limiting expansion of slavery would give the north more and more power to repeal even that amendment and do more against slavery.

@ConfederateMyth @1armsteve @tee_kae63561 @HistoryBoutique It literally was an amendment enshrining slavery by name to the constitution, it is almost impossible to rescend an amendment when passed . The south still wanted out.

@jebsmith764 @1armsteve @tee_kae63561 @HistoryBoutique Because it did almost nothing to protect slavery. It certainly didn't allow expansion of slavery. Those were the issues.

@ConfederateMyth @1armsteve @tee_kae63561 @HistoryBoutique Perhaps i need to rephrase it. Why did they leave when they had the promised amendment to protect slavery that would have been ratified with their support?

@tprince333 @1armsteve @tee_kae63561 @HistoryBoutique Again, it passed congress, with the bare minimum needed for the 2/3 to pass. The Corwin Amendment did almost nothing to protect slavery, which is what the south were interested in.

@ConfederateMyth @1armsteve @tee_kae63561 @HistoryBoutique Thats not true in the least, the votes were there eaily and Lincoln was on record supporting it, the southern states were seemingly interested in something else besides slavery.

@DFish4040 @IanMWolfe @BaltimoreBanner Maryland, Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio were the top 5 free black populations. Virginia had more slaves than any other State. Maryland stayed in the union, and the other 3 were northern states.

@ConfederateMyth @IanMWolfe @BaltimoreBanner And the bulk of free blacks lived in Maryland, Delaware & Kentucky bc every time they tried to cross the Mason-Dixon line they were pushed back down south.

@DFish4040 @IanMWolfe @BaltimoreBanner In 1860 The north had 10k less free black people than the south. But the south had 4 million slaves. The north had 18 slaves.

@ConfederateMyth @IanMWolfe @BaltimoreBanner At the time the Civil War broke out, the black population in the North was a whopping 2%! That’s bc N whites enforced numerous laws to keep them out. And this despite fact that N had slavery for 150 years.

@jebsmith764 @1armsteve @tee_kae63561 @HistoryBoutique Those states left and considered themselves not the US. They weren't going to ratify a US amendment. The US still considered them part of the US and they were part of the count required to ratify. There weren't enough states in favor of ratification which is why only 5 did.

@ConfederateMyth @1armsteve @tee_kae63561 @HistoryBoutique Because those states had left making it meaningless. Not because it would fault to gain support from the states. And why would the Deep South not endorse it?

@jebsmith764 @1armsteve @tee_kae63561 @HistoryBoutique Was it ratified? No. How many states ratified it? 5. If only 2/3 of congress passed it, including congressmen from seceded states, what makes you think 3/4 of states were going to ratify it, especially when 7 states already seceded and 4 more less than 2 months later?

@ConfederateMyth @1armsteve @tee_kae63561 @HistoryBoutique I think it an interesting statement based on an amendment that passed congress and had the support of the president. So why was it not going to pass?

@jebsmith764 @1armsteve @tee_kae63561 @HistoryBoutique I never said it didn't pass. I said it was never going to be ratified.

@ConfederateMyth @1armsteve @tee_kae63561 @HistoryBoutique It passed, far from your previous statement. But why was it unlikely to pass the states ratification?

@jebsmith764 @1armsteve @tee_kae63561 @HistoryBoutique It barely passed congress with the minimum votes required in each chamber (2/3) and wouldn't have without slave state votes. It was unlikely to get the required 3/4 states required for ratification. No csa state ended slavery by choice.

@ConfederateMyth @1armsteve @tee_kae63561 @HistoryBoutique Odd thing to say when it passed the House and the Senate, it was the states, such as the South, that refused it. meanwhile, it was also the states, including most the South that abolished slavery by amendment.

@Oakmanbearcow @MBHistorian @jjfThompson @ModernCSA @Jeff_Davis1808 @CountryBoy_62 @JoshuaJAlbert @SohrabAhmari It's literally not. He's just a troll account of Monuments Across Dixie. England didn't magically lose the rights to its property because the colonies seceded. They lost property by losing the war. The csa took some US property by force but lost the war.

@MBHistorian @jjfThompson @ModernCSA @Jeff_Davis1808 @CountryBoy_62 @JoshuaJAlbert @SohrabAhmari @ConfederateMyth 😂 oh ok that’s how that works, we secede and all your shit is ours you can’t do anything about it. Which Article of the Constitution lays out that legal principle?

No, Rosa Parks wasn't "play-acting" on the bus. Matt Walsh is presenting civil-rights junk history. unherd.com/newsroom/matt-…

@DFish4040 @IanMWolfe @BaltimoreBanner Oregon completely banned black people from living there. Illinois made it so no new black people could move there, Indiana and Ohio made it near impossible. That's all. All 3 still had more free black people than most of the south.

@ConfederateMyth @IanMWolfe @BaltimoreBanner Let me repeat: Virtually all N states BANNED ALL blacks, free & slave, from entering their states. This revisionist history that N states were all about helping blacks is BS. When they fought the "expansion of slavery," they were really arguing: "the blacks need to stay down S."
