>>69294494

In some ways a conflict of wealthy Barbadan slave lords forcing poor whites to fight for them against the Babel-building federalists of the north.

In some ways a conflict of Norman-descended aristocrats (like the Virginian and southern mid-Atlantic officers) fighting against the mainly Anglo-Saxon officer corps of the north.

In some ways a struggle for states rights against federalism, and in some ways a rejection of the declaration and the consitution on the part of the south (see the famous speech by the CSA's vice-president apropos of this subject).

It isn't an easily summarized conflict - no war has ever been.

>inb4 southerners were racist and the Union wuz good guys !!

If only Lincoln had lived long enough to send the slaves home...
>>
>>69294494
Misunderstood and demonized by modern historians. Their cause was just (wanting state rights to be kept intact). Slavery was and is shit, but lets not act as if it was so prevalent that every southerner had them.
The CSA was fighting for southern pride more than anything, and it's very sad that their chance to be on equal footing with the north was crushed. Too many young southern boys died fighting in their dad's backyards over the war.

>t. Canuck whose father's side emigrated from Virginia, and whose great-great-grandfather fathered 5 Confederate soldiers.

True, but this has to be seen in the wider context of federal vs. states' authority. The slavery was just the way in which this contradiction manifested itself.
>>
It was anti-white, run by greedy kikes who didn't want to pay white men a fair wage, so they imported a bunch of niggers. If Lincoln hadn't of been killed he would have deported all the niggers and America would be 99% white today.
>>
>>69296346
Lee was shit. He couldn't win unless Stuart told him exactly where his enemy was and the only reason the Army of Northern Virginia did so well was because it had the best Corps commanders of the entire war concentrated together (Jackson, Longstreet, and Hill).

Its effects were wide-reaching, m8.

If the USA had been divided in two - if the south had successfully broken away from the north - who knows if the US would've ever become a world power?

I have the utmost respect for the young men who fought and died against an invading force. Fact is only a minority of people owned slaves in the south and in most cases they didn't fight. The people who fought were the sons of poor farmers, who either didn't like slave owners or were indifferent to slavery as a whole.
>>
>>69294942
The ordinances of secession are all addressed directly to the north. The south blames them for the perversion of the federal government to serve sectional interests. Which if you look at the American system was clearly the case. Also you have to understand the Republican Platform that Lincoln ran on was unconstitutional. That was the final straw, the ascension of a single issue party who's platform was found unconstitutional by the supreme court in the Dred Scott decision.

The generation of plantation owners at the time of the war didn't have anything to do with importing the niggers. It became illegal to do that like 5 decades before 1861, and that law was rigidly enforced by the Royal Navy.
>>
>>69297071

>Its effects were wide-reaching, m8.
>cites events that never happened

If we're going to engage in alternate history, we could postulate hypothetical consequences for all manner of events that never actually happened - e.g. Gavrilo Princip missing his shots, the Russian Revolution never happening, European decolonisation never happening etc.

Those hypotheticals don't have any impact on the actual importance of what actually happened though, and the fact of the matter is that the American Civil War didn't (and still doesn't) really matter to anyone but the Americans.

It is overreach, because the federal government wasn't designed for the purpose of instituting social change nor should it seize the authority to.

>>69298960
Old testament doesn't. Christian philosophy gives the west the concept of the intrinsic value of human life. One of the major reasons it caught on with the romans (especially the slaves). Abolitionists etc. applied that to those enslaved in the south. South used the Old testament as their justification, be a just master etc.

However, Paul to make Jesus more appealing to the greeks throws out the old testament claiming all the old laws were fulfilled by Jesus's sacrifice (grown greek men are not going to get circumcised to follow the laws of what at the time was a sect of judasim).

It's irrelevant to our history as a country and to most of the world outside of America. The fact that Irish people fought in that war makes it about as important to us as the Boer War (which Irish people also fought on both sides of) - that is to say it's still not important at all.

Indeed, like the Boer War, a self-contained, regional conflict typically has a limited impact outside of those directly involved in it. The American Civil War is no exception.

It's telling that, apart from positing inane hypotheticals and logical fallacies, the Americans here can't explain why the American Civil War was an important event to the world.

It's because technology progressed much more in the 50 years between the Civil War and WWI.
Plus, the Civil War was a moving war. No trench warfare. The closest thing to a machine gun was a hand crank thing that jammed more often than not.

The big ones are the two main weapons in any war. The service weapon and the artillery.
Civil War artillery were cannons. Plain and simple. Artillery in WWI could launch an explosive shell kilometres away.
Muskets were the dominating firearm during the Civil War still. Bolt-action sped up the reloading and fire rate of a weapon considerably, and this led to the decreasing popularity of linemen tactics, which were also prevalent in the Civil War.

The CSA stood up for what they believed in, so much so they were willing to fight and die for it. You don't see that anymore.

Regardless if you agree or disagree with slavery - the CSA FOUGHT for it. They FOUGHT for what they believed in. They didn't sit behind a pussy computer screen. They didn't peacefully protest like fucking faggots. They FOUGHT for what they believed in.

You never see this in America anymore - no one stands up for what they believe is right to the point where they are willing to fight to the death. We have become a nation of pussys and pushovers, just waiting to get riled up only to be calmed down again. We need to start fighting for what we believe again.

That's not what we were talking about. We were talking about importance *on a global scale*, or at the very least on an international scale.

I'll give you some random examples I suppose

>the French Revolution (and the American Revolution to a degree, as a precursor of sorts to the aforementioned)

>the Scramble for Africa
>the Boxer Rebellion
>the Russian Revolution
>WWI
>the Spanish Civil War
>WWII

In contrast to all of the above, the American Civil War's impact was contained largely within the US' borders. As such, and as I've said before >>69295204 >>69296283, it's of very limited relevance if you're not American - or, being generous, it's exactly as relevant as any other self-contained, internal conflict of anywhere thousands of km away.

They rebelled because they did not want to lose their slaves. They had no problems with federal conscription of men from other states for slave-catching patrols.

There was no love for nullification when it was used by New York, Wisconsin to circumvent the fugitive slave act.

There was no right to secession in the CSA, whose constitution was to"form a permanent federal government"

> The General Government, as the common agent, passed laws to carry into effect these stipulations of the States. For many years these laws were executed. But an increasing hostility on the part of the non-slaveholding States to the institution of slavery, has led to a disregard of their obligations, and the laws of the General Government have ceased to effect the objects of the Constitution. The States of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa, have enacted laws which either nullify the Acts of Congress or render useless any attempt to execute them. In many of these States the fugitive is discharged from service or labor claimed, and in none of them has the State Government complied with the stipulation made in the Constitution. The State of New Jersey, at an early day, passed a law in conformity with her constitutional obligation; but the current of anti-slavery feeling has led her more recently to enact laws which render inoperative the remedies provided by her own law and by the laws of Congress. In the State of New York even the right of transit for a slave has been denied by her tribunals; and the States of Ohio and Iowa have refused to surrender to justice fugitives charged with murder, and with inciting servile insurrection in the State of Virginia. Thus the constituted compact has been deliberately broken and disregarded by the non-slaveholding States, and the consequence follows that South Carolina is released from her obligation.

No dumbfuck. Once again you are too stupid to acknowledge that 12 people does not equal 9,130,000.

What 12 people do is never as noble or respectable as to when 9,130,000 do it.

You're literally saying that a rebelling of 12 people is equivalent to 9,130,000.

The revolution of 12 people is the equivalent scope, strength, and relevance 9,130,000.

Actually Cotton was only about 1/3rd of the south's economy. It jsut happened to be so robust that it gave us economic dominance.
The slaves couldn't keep up with the cotton gin and the looms so they were quickly becoming obsolete.When it comes to industry the north has absolutely nothing to contribute except coal, metal and oil(which we knew fuckall about at the time so technically only 2 exports) whereas the south was responsible for almost all of our food exports and everything else America sold to the rest of the world. Our ports dwarfed the north's by massive margins, literally all of our industry was better except for metal.
The vast majority of our industry was maned by white southerners with niggers only making up cotton for the most part, hispanics dealt with the tobacco and the rest was all American.
Lincoln didn't hand anyone their ass and Grant was a midlevel general who would only rank a 7 on a scale of 10. Sherman is the only reason the north really won
>>69303032
He didn't if he had we would have won. That pussy Davis was terrible
>>
The debate and tension over abolitionism was a major contributing factor to the secession of the Southern States... but remember that the overwhelming majority of Southerners were not slaveowners or aristocrats.

The majority were regular working stiffs like everybody else, men and women tired of seeing the Federal Government - a government they didn't vote for and which was largely perceived as only looking out for the best interests of one half of the country - constantly meddling in local affairs, crippling local economies to benefit wealthy industrialists in the North, and then having the gall to mock and belittle those same people.


Slavery motivated the secession of the states, but it was not what motivated the war. 1.5 MILLION Americans did not enlist to fight for the Confederacy in the worst, bloodiest war in American history just so a bunch of rich assholes could keep their niggers.

Obviously you cannot gather what that information is saying so maybe you will understand it if it's rewritten.

South Carolina, the 1st state to leave the union, seceded behind the principle that the US Federal Government was continuously and intentionally violating the US Constitution.

If what you're saying, is that you do not agree with the US Constitution, then that's a different story.
But the fact that South Carolina started the Civil War by seceding over the Federal Government's abuse of power and blatant violation of the US Constitution is a legitimate noble and respectable feat. It's not about slavery, it's about standing up to the federal government because they're abusing their powers and violating the US Constitution.

Thanks for playing though.

Yeah, they were poor whites mostly fighting for what their feudal aristocracy told them to.

Remember that the South had HUGE desertion issues during the war, and had to form a federally run Provost Marshals system to reign in deserters by burning out their homes so they had nothing to run away to.

Plus the South, for all its talks about rights, implemented conscription for men after a year of fighting.

So it was a poor man's fight whether he wanted it or not. And a lot, like west Virginians, east Tennesseans, Mississippians of Jones county, and more, said "fuck it" and fought against the Confederacy during the war.

Slavery really wasn't that bad in comparison to anywhere else. Everyone always cites muh chattel but they're ignorant of the fact that that was literally the only major difference in slavery and even then it was only different from SOME instances of slavery.
Most instances of slavery were the exact same or worse.
North Carolina is the only state that even had massive Slavery(literally 3 to 1 ratio of slaves to citizens)
Everywhere else it was pretty small.
But that's only nigger slavery
What you don't know is that the north actually loved slaver, specifically irish slavery which my ancestor(Cromwell) sadly enjoyed throughly.
Just as many irish slaves went to and were housed in America as nigger slaves in half the time(100 years instead of 200) specifically the north which boasted far more irish slaves but they liked to call them "endentured servants" even though they were never released from bondage from any contract. They were called such because yankees liked to pretend they were better than everyone else(remind you of anyone)

The Civil war effected trade for a lot of nations around the world.
But, just for specifics because you seem to be a faggot
The invention of metal ships, as well as numerous advancements in military weaponry as a result of the American Civil effected the entire planet.

>what if these things that never happened did actually happened

but they didn't happen anon

What if the Mongols had reached the Atlantic?

What if Gavrilo Princip had slept in?

What if China never banned sailing?

What if the Industrial Revolution happened in India?

If you're best argument for the importance of the American Civil War is that some important things might have happened a hundred years later if it had turned out differently, it only emphasises the utter irrelevance of the American Civil War.

>>69305462

You can't keep using the same straw man over and over. I never said it had no impact whatsoever, it clearly did *within* American borders. My point is, and has been since the very start of this thread, that it had negligible impact outside of US borders.

>Disease? Who cares just more death.

Aside from wiping out 30% of the population of Europe, it undermined the prestige of the clergy helpless to stop the plague and the authority of the Pope as a result. Laid the groundwork for the Reformation.

> Religious reformation? Big deal.

Caused dozens of wars, reshaped the world's largest religion, reshaped the politics of Europe ultimately giving birth to the modern concept of the nation-state and spawned conflicts that still last to this very day. The Reformation had an absolutely massive impact.

There were prominent Southern leaders that wanted to end slavery, and Lincoln made his position clear in that he didn't want to end slavery overnight.

Had the South not seceded, they could have continued to work within government to block any extreme acts against them, while segueing their economy and social system to phase out slavery or blacks or both.

South Carolina chimping out over Lincoln fucked every one because there was no reason to fight a war. Please note, South Carolina was literally the worst Southern state too. It regularly fucked the rights of white men over.

Slavery was the retroactive feel good excuse the north came up with and pinned on the south to take the moral high ground.

>>69306112
Actually the north was the traitor in this instance since they broke multiple parts of the constitution both before, during, and after the war which is by definition a traitorous act.

In the civil war Confederate ships docked in Australia (and maybe NZ, can't remember), and lots of men stowed away on board and ended up fighting for the south

Thanks for playing. Try reading their declaration of secession next time. I cited it in an earlier post and it supports my position. When you want to refute it feel free to cite something from it supporting your position instead of a "words devoted to issues" and not "numbers of issues" chart. lol

Fun fact, the civil war saw the one of the first uses of trench warfare. It was also considered the first modern war.

But that's just my 5th grade history class talking. And we all know how notoriously wrong they can be.

The confederates are a footnote in history. Rebels who got suppressed. What America would have been without France in the Revolution.

That's not an act of war though, it could be considered a precursor maybe but it wouldn't invite anything more than a threat of war if it wasn't stopped.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Consequences. I'm glad to see you're on boat now.

The american civil war is an important global event because its effects on trade, the direction and formation of the United States of America and our resulting position as a dominant world leader today.

Pretty much this. My ancestors were poor farmers whom fought for the confederacy. Was always plenty of fun to bring up while arguing with SJWs in class when they'd try to play the white privilege card and trying to make people feel guilty for ancestry. Most of them, when confronted with a person whom is willing to state such things and not bend over for them they have no idea what to say. Particularly since I get to bring up that the same side of my family was all poor as fuck until recently when my grandfather instilled the family work ethic, moral values/duty to community, and the necessity of education in his children and then they all became rich and successful.

I think he understands what you're saying, but he's right. The civil war didn't mean much to everyone else, because in the end, America still existed as one country, same as before. Of course, if the south won, then it'd be significant and there would probably be global ramifications. But we didn't win. So nothing really changed for everyone els. Business as usual. We don't measure importance based off of what could have happened. We talk about WWI, the enlightenment, etc, because it did happen the way it did. We never learned about what would happen if hitler won

That's what I'll never understand. Why the fuck would anyone give a shit about Slavery being a moral issue anyway? I mean was slavery really that fucking bad anyway? God damn, if they would have waited a few years, I guarantee they'd have been shipped back to Africa by the Southerners themselves due to the invention of the Cotton gin anyway. What was it about "Freeing the slaves" That enticed the Northerners to fight a civil war?

I did. 37% of it is about states' rights. 20% is about slavery.
Somehow you are making some imaginary justification behind how 20% is greater than 37%.

Please - enlighten me. In what universe or scenario is 20% greater than 37%?

When is 20% ever bigger than 37%?

37% of their Secession notice was about states' rights.

20% was about slavery.

37....20.
37
20

37% is more than 20%.

I know, it's tough - it really is tough to understand - but you start with 20 - 2-0. So you count, okay:
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20

STOP. That's where slavery is at in terms of content - 20. 2-0. We just counted. Stay with me, okay?

20 - that's where we left off at. 20. So we counted to 20. We are at 20. Slavery is 20. 20.

20-21-22-23-24-25-26

TRY TO STAY WITH ME!

26-27-28-29-30

OH SHIT. NOT IN THE 20S ANYMORE. STAY WITH ME. IT'S ALMOST OVER!!!

30-31-32-33-34-35-36-....

36...

36...


36.... 37


37

State's rights is at 37.


So content wise, I know this is SO hard to understand, but content wise - content wise. Content. Wise. CONTENT. Content. content wise slavery is at 20 and states rights is at 37.


Please enlighten me as to how 37 is greater than 20. You're wrong.

14,827 Americans die each year from crimes, that's 90k Americans dead in 6 years from criminal murderers, 50% of which are from blacks which compose 12% of the population, blacks are responsible for 45k deaths every 6 years.
