That's right, international support for our cause is great because we are not all racists bent on sending African Americans back to Africa.

Lincoln was no racist. When he saw blacks for sale even as a kid he understood it was wrong. He did desire an option for free blacks to return to Africa but if they chose to. This artwork is fitting, the suffering and death wrought by the Confederacy was immense.

First of all, Β I never called Lincoln a racist. Do you even realize that Lincoln proposed the Corwin Amendment to the United States Congress before the Civil War even started that primarily would have restricted the freedom of many slaves under federal protection of the United States Constitution? ... Thankfully, this was not ever added to the Constitution. You speak about suffering and death when the first suffering of the American Civil War came from the Union side when they opened fire on Charleston, SC from Fort Sumter in 1860.
You assumption of Lincoln and the Civil War in general is a tad bit lacking.

Lincoln was. That's exactly what he wanted to do.

Well, back then,Β sending the African American population back to Africa would not have been a bad idea since that would have forced the nation as a whole to abolish slavery before the Civil War had ever began.

Were you aware that more than half the slaves were white?

Here's another couple to look for;
White Cargo: The Forgotten History of Britain's White Slaves in America
by Don Jordan and Michael Walsh
Complicity: How the North Promoted, Prolonged, and Profited from Slavery
by Anne Farrow
Β Many of the slaves were Irish ancestry, the English treated them like shit. Others were Scots, and there were also lots of children who were kidnapped off the streets of English cities such as London. The word βkidnappingβ itself comes from the expression βkid-nabbingβ, which referred to the practice of abducting children to be sold in the British factories or into plantation slavery in America. Another phrase that has its roots in white slavery is βspirited awayβ because white slavers that kidnapped fellow whites were called βspirits.β
British children were routinely taken from orphanages and workhouses to be put in factories for a lifetime of horrors.
The majority of the slaves in the Northern states of the USA, and more than half of the slaves on plantations in Virginia were white. From the start of the 17th century to the early 19th century, between one-half and two-thirds of all the White colonists who came to the New World came as slaves. They were owned as property, were accorded no rights and had no recourse to the law.
They often worked 16-hour days of unceasing toil, without a break. If they dared to fall asleep at their machines, they were whipped awake. For committing crimes such as arriving late or talking during work, they were beaten with a βbilly-roller,β an eight feet long by one and a half inch diameter iron bar. The primitive machines in the factories mutilated thousands of children each year.
Modern-day "political correctness" lies about history.

You do - if you didn't have any opinion, you would NEVER have replied.
However, your statement also demonstrates that you have NOTHING to refute what I've said. Funny that. You initially tried to dismiss the evidence, then unable to do so, you now try to pretend that you weren't interested in the first place which is ridiculous since you REPLIED - LOL
Goodbye troll. You're just a troll, obviously.

I did not know of this,Β I guess it was covered up from the public schools like some other things on the topic.Β Perhaps you should make a piece on this and introduce it to the CSAsupporters group and Deviantart to teach the public.

I don't mean to offend ya, but that ain't the Confederate Flag (CF), it's the Tennessee Battle Flag (TBF), the CF is the Third Official Flag (TOF): [link]
That right there is the OFFICIAL one, the ones you have there are TBFs, people get 'em mixed up unfortunately, but, I'm here to fix things straight

Your link is broken. I'm trying to make a blanket pattern for the confederate flag so I would appreciate it if there was an unbroken link.

Every state had a different version of a flag BUT the actual CONFEDERATE BATTLEFLAG was the stars and bars.

No my friend I'm sorry but the Confederate battle flag was a design of it's own it was taken and used for state flags that had succeeded but as I've said it was a design of its own.
