“1. From 1865 to 2017, America didn’t consider the South treasonous.”
What’s your basis for this assetion. I dispute it.
3. The South had a right to leave an evolved system which they never signed up to.
What’s your basis for this? If Kiryas Yoel wants to secede from the US and take a democratic vote to secede from both NY and the US, you’d agree that the Republic of Kiryas Yoel legally exists? Of course not. It is illegal to secede from the US. Whether it is Virginia that did it then or if California or Kityas Yoel tried and declared independence now.
5. Lincoln was a war mongering President who had no right attacking the Southern states and killing millions of Americans to “preserve the Union”. (Fort Sumter was a Northern provocation. They had no right being in that area.)
False. If a country has a rebellion, the leaders of the country have both the right and obligation to suppress it with arms if necessary.
“8. Robert E Lee was always and still is considered at worst a great american personality and at best an American Hero. Some people don’t like the deification of the general, but there is no doubt that he represents more than just a slave owber fighting for his rights to own slaves.”
The Confederacy was treason against the United States.
And the primary motivation for the Confederacy to secede from the United States was to preserve slavery.
