I keep seeing confederates complain online about their loss in the Civil War. Are they just mad that they lost to the union? If so, what should we tell them?
No one enjoys being on the losing side. What they are doing now is what's excepted of them to do. So, let's just allow then to be sour and lick their wounds. Nothing they say would change history.
It's a huge debate on whether the war was about states rights or slavery. However, though, it was made clear in the Confederate Constitution what the nation was founded on, and that was racism, and it's not oversensitive to state actual facts.
Myself, I'm white and I live and grew up in the south and have been exposed to racism, and there's a thing where the whole "southern thing" is seen light-heartedly, not facing facts.
