This is your daily reminder that the US never outlawed slavery just restricted it to prisons and cops are still slave catchers

decentralize and clean up your life!!!

use overdrive, libby, hoopla, cloudlibrary, and kanopy instead of amazon and audible.

I can think of one group that deserves to be poor... the rich

[queenbacon8]

I would like to add to this that Lee was only a colonel before the Confederacy so he was never a real General

Periodic reminder that the South lost the Civil War partly because the rich plantation-owning interests had no desire to spend their money to feed and clothe and arm the poor Southerners fighting and dying for the right of rich white Southerners to own people, partly because they lacked the resources for a long-term fight (once the North actually committed to the fight, which did take a while) because again, rich people hoarded what they had and a slavery-based economy does not innovate or attract new growth and investors, and partly because... Robert E Lee was not the greatest general in the world despite how the myths like to tell it. He was just better than the first few Union generals.

Additional periodic reminder that some people in the South and the border states did in fact dislike slavery and/or wanted to stay in the Union and it was not a universal opinion that the war was good (until after they lost when the myth of an idealized Southern past developed).

Another periodic reminder that the enslaved and formerly enslaved in the South participated both in battles and spying for the Union, but also in tending to the dead and injured on both sides, and that should not be erased from the narrative.

Yet another periodic reminder that many women dressed as men and yes some of them might possibly have id'd themselves as trans if they lived now, and fought in the war. They also served as battlefield nurses, which was not an easy job, and those who didn't still often had the responsibility of running businesses and farms for the duration of the war. They should not be erased from the narrative either.

And oh here's another periodic reminder that Arlington cemetery exists where it does because it was on land that belonged to Robert E. Lee's wife's family, and the US government wanted a permanent reminder of the cost of that traitor's actions.

And yet another reminder that Juneteenth exists because once the war was over, many white plantation owners didn't tell the enslaved people on their property that they were now free. That absolutely should not be erased even if it makes some white people uncomfortable.

And finally, finally, the Republicans under Lincoln are not the same party as the Republicans today. Just as the Democrats of the time were not the Democrats of today. Conservatives LOVE to claim they freed the slaves though. It's a lie and most of them know it's a lie.

History is nuanced and often ugly. Denying it only leads to it repeating. Only weak people would deny it.

P.S. Southern generals are absolutely traitors and should not have US bases named after them.

(This is the quick and generalized version but y'all can go look up the truth in a library or watch the PBS documentary for free whenever you like.)

I haven't seen this version anywhere so I made one!

A reminder on this most blessed day. May you all have The Dream tonight. Bonks be with you.
