The Confederate Flag

The Southern Cross NEVER flew over a nation that supported slavery. It was the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia, not a national flag. The United States flag flew over a nation that supported slavery for 85 years, yet no one is supporting removing it. Historians, real historians, not your 5th grade history teacher, have studied in detail the causes of the Civil War, and it wasn't slavery. It was economics over an insanely rich South and poor Northern cities. The South was removing Slavery, it was a dead issue there due to English cotton contracts offering much higher prices than northern textile mills, and with those higher prices the condition that the cotton be raised without the use of slaves. The North could not have that life blood of cotton going to England, nor could it compete with the prices England was paying for the cotton. Even the Southern Generals, in particular Robert E. Lee, freed all their slaves by 1862, while the North still clung to slavery. Maryland and Delaware were immune to the Emancipation Proclamation as border states, and Delaware did not outlaw slavery until 1872. The Emancipation Proclamation was hated in the North because the cities thought the freed slaves would move north and take all the textile mill jobs. All resources flowed from the South, cotton, iron, timber, etc., and that was making the Southern states rich beyond anything the North could compete with, Lincoln himself stated that he could not allow secession to proceed because "Who would pay for the government?" The history taught in our schools is based on the effort by Congress, Northern Industry and the Executive branch to devastate and punish the South to make sure they never again dared to try to secede and bankrupt the North, just as Sherman's March was designed to do. Southern economics was moving beyond slavery fast, and southerners were used to living in mixed race areas and doing business together. Of course there were extremists, and in the power vacuum left by the War Between the States, those extremists in some cases managed to gain a foothold in a devastated, poverty stricken, post war south, much as the Nazi party did post WWI in Germany.

"I only watch WWE because of Dolph Ziggler."

"I’m tired of John Cena. He isn’t a bad wrestler, he’s a great talker, he can connect with the crowd (both in a good and a bad way), but I’ve had enough of him. RAW might as well be called Total Nonstop Cena. Cena did this, Cena did that, he comes out for his promo, he comes out for a match, bring out people so they can talk about him, Michael Cole constantly mentioning him. I don’t hate the guy, but Jesus Christ, give me a break! I just don’t wanna hear his name for 5 freaking minutes. Is it so much to ask?"

my reaction on all but not roman

Dolph becoming a 4x IC champion:

The Uso’s didn’t win the tag titles but Miz and Mizdow are still the champs:

Erick Rowan lost the match cause he was pinned under some steel stairs:

Cena beat Rollins and is still #1 contender:

THEN ROMAN REIGNS SHOWED UP!!:

Nikki retains the divas championship by blinding AJ with some sort of spray:

Swagger passed out again in another match against Rusev:

Dean completely owning that main event!:

But lost cause a TV monitor sparked in his face and blinded him:

“Dolph Ziggler should win the Royal Rumble, not Roman Reigns.”

I wonder how big Orton’s dick is? He is always bulging. I want him to face fuck me until he cums so I can swallow his hot load.
