Rich Lowry: Confederate Soldiers Fought for Odious Cause
National Review thought cop Rich Lowry, who infamously fired John Derbyshire for making indisputably accurate observations in a separate publication that were deemed not to be in compliance with politically correct ideology, has offered his overpriced 2¢ worth on the liberal jihad against the Confederate flag:
I don’t like the Confederate battle flag and … would take it down from prominent official places as a sheer matter of courtesy, if nothing else.
But, let’s remember: The Confederate army fought for an odious cause, yet it wasn’t an army of extermination like the Nazis, to which it is now being compared.
An odious cause. States’ rights and the defense of their homeland from a devastating military invasion was an odious cause. Trying to fight off the federal behemoth than is strangling us all to this day was an odious cause.
Saying that Southern soldiers weren’t quite as bad as the guards at Nazi death camps is as close as a liberal weenie like Lowry will come to defending the rebel flag.
How’s this for odious: infiltrating the top ranks of the “conservative” information establishment and subverting it from within by buying into leftist premises and injecting venomous moonbattery.
On a tip from DinaRehn.
Most people do not know that the civil war wasn’t about slavery and Lincoln didn’t care about the slaves. It was about centralized federal power. It was about money in taxes and tariffs. Lincoln ONLY freed the slaves to piss off the southerners and make them pay for the help they got.

First the Confederate flag. What’s next?

It was totally about state rights. They wanted the states to be able to keep owning slaves when the federal governement wanted to outlaw it. It was also about the economy, because southern states were so tied to slavery that slavery being abolished would completely ruin them. That’s how you got from the Southern gentlemen stereotype to the southern hick stereotype; all their wealth and power was dependent on slavery. And yes, it’s also about heritage-in the same way the descendents of Nazis may wish to flaw swastikas to celebrate their heritage, but personally I don’t think that just because your ancestors did it it’s worth having pride in. Also, it was a waste. It was a complete and total waste of time and life, because they lost, like Vietnam. Nothing was achieved. It wasn’t even a well run government while it was in power and if there was no war it would have crumbled in years anyway.
“No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed.”-Confederate constitution. Farthest thing from odious, right? Sure sounds like a country yall’d love….
Also they were all Democrats. The Confederacy was run by Democrats. Maybe this will get yall to realize the whole “the parties never changed, the modern Republican party is responsible for ending slavery!” stuff is bullshit.
The irony is that with the Government expanding at such a rate, there will be some people who will b under virtual slavery with 90% tax rates and such.

Robert E. Lee on the war:
“With all my devotion to the Union and the feeling of loyalty and duty of an American citizen, I have not been able to make up my mind to raise my hand against my relatives, my children, my home….”
Note, the causes for which Robert E Lee fought were his relative, his children, and his home.

I don’t know Lowry or his motivation, but it seems to me that he was referring to slavery. He didn’t say that the Confederate army didn’t *also* fight for worthy causes, such as states rights – just that it fought on behalf of states that favored slavery, which is true.

The southern states seceded legally. The north invaded the south because Lincoln wanted to ‘preserve’ the union. As a result, over 600K died. Am I missing something here?

You’ve got that right.
Something to consider in visiting the Civil War 1.0 Battlefields is that the emphasis is on the Yankee defensive positions and battle-lines.
It’s from that perspective.
Psst!
*Whispering*
Just keep in mind that there were several flags that represented the CSA.

So Rich Lowry says the Confederacy fought for an odious cause, yet the arc of history that emanates directly from the Union cause is one that is leading us to Third World status. I call that pretty odious.

I must now thank the Left for something good. I used to think that the right side won the Civil War. Now I know better, because if the Left hates the South THAT much then I know the wrong side won.
Bullshit. New England would have been poverty-stricken within ten years without the South’s tax money. There was nothing in the Confederate Constitution that prevented the states from outlawing slavery, or for an amendment doing so as was done with the UNITED STATES Constitution.
You can also hear it in the old John Wayne movie, “The Horse Soldiers”.
The South really did have all the good songs in that war.

The protective tariff made the South a captive market for the North.
If the South had walked, it would have bankrupted the North.

One’s loyalty was to one’s state at that time. As Shelby Foote noted, it was perfectly proper to say, “The United States are…”.
National government was not where loyalty lay.

The yankee abolitionists and politicians didn’t just speak against slavery, they also PERSONALLY attacked southerners, both generally and by name. It was so hateful that the southerners had to defend SLAVERY as a defense against the slander to themselves and their families.
Pretty much like the southerners have been doing for a HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS!

4 million slaves in the country at an average value of $800. So that’s 3.2 billion, quite a piece of change especially then.
I don’t recall any major bill at the time threatening to abolish slavery, but there was the protective tariff and the fact Lincoln’s election was seen as a victory for the Abolitionists, who were as big a bunch of nuts as the Southern crowd who said slavery was ordained in the Bible.

If Rich Lowery wasn’t such an odious A$$ he would know when to keep his mouth shut instead of broadcasting his ignorance. The majority of the Confederate Soldiers were not slave owners and were not fighting for the privilege to own one.
Lee and a number of other Confederate officers suggested that very thing BTW.

New England had old the western states that the Confederacy was going to close the Mississippi river to northern traffic. The truth is that the South was going to allow FREE use of the Mississippi to the North. New Englanders feared that this would shift trade to the South and end their shipping monopoly. When Louisiana was purchased, representatives from New England tried to give PERMANETE control of the Mississippi river to Spain!
Before 1860, the states below the Mason/Dixon line paid 60-75% of the federal taxes.

Lincoln and the Republican party (At the time) were statists; their victory in 1865 set the precedence for the socialism of today. Had the South gained independence (Never mind winning the war) stateism would have suffered a set-back.
Slavery (Also legal in the north at the time) would have ended by the 20th century because the Confederacy wouldn’t have had a bunch of OBNOXIOUS Yankees telling us how to live our lives and threatening us with violence if we didn’t obey them.

And your point is what?
Jewish soldiers were murdered by your Nazi students during WWII but I don’t see WWII games, paraphernalia, emblems, etc. being banned. Same with your idol Soviet Russia, Jews were murdered by the thousands there yet you assholes still were the sickle and hammer or the hundreds murdered by Che Guevara and yet you filth wear his image on T-shirts because you have no idea who or what he was.
You should remain silent until you have some clue what you are talking about.

General Forrest was NEVER tried for that accusation even though he DEMANDED trial. The prosecutor had to publicly admit that there was NO EVID against him. NO CONFEDERATE LEADER was ever tried for war crimes in spite of public demands. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE against them.
Many FREE blacks were enslaved by yankee solders because they didn’t believe there were any free blacks in the South. Many blacks died fighting for the Confederacy which was their home.
We also had many indian tribes on our side.

Check your facts. slavery was NOT legal in Union States at the time of the Civil War.
Statism is a liberty killing evil wherever it is practised by those that know better than you how you should live.

The odious cause was slavery. It was definitely not state’s rights or a fight against a tyrannical federal government. The south seceded because Lincoln won the election and they did so before Lincoln had a chance to do anything that violated their “rights.” Heck, he waited through several year of war before he banned slavery. The south seceded because they were poor sports, did not want to follow the Constitution, and were militantly pro-slavery. The Confederate battle flag is much more similar to a pirate flag. People like them because they look cool and the people who carried them were tough fighters, but the causes behind them were both evil and while they should not be banned, neither should be flown over a State capital as if it were a State flag.

It wasn’t being flown over a state capitol jackass. It was being flown at a war memorial site dedicated to the SC solders who died in Civil War 1.0 fighting under that flag.
Now, go back to HuffPo and get some more misinformation to cloud your limited mind.

I’d love to be able to shove that fact up every libtards ass, if it is true. Do you have documentation that the Kansas Dunhams owned slaves? Kansas was a Union state so I don’t think it happened. If you can prove it though, I’ll rail every tard I meet with it.

It’s going to be quite amusing, were it not so tragic, when Leftist trolls such as Gene here start defending killing “tax resisters” and taking their property because to do otherwise would result in the entire Progressive house of cards to collapse without the labor of the productive to support it.
After all, it would be wrong to deprive the vast unworking masses of the bounty that they have contracted their VileProg pushers to provide.
What, pray tell, will the VileProgs do when the people who actually do the work say “fuck off, we are free men and women and will not work for your benefit any longer”? Will they go quietly into the night? Or will they look at the economic devastation that will be wrought upon them and their Minions by such a paradigm shift? I assure you, Gene and his fellow maggot ridden hyenas will be howling to defend their “rights” to the labor of others.

When the productive tell the progressive overlords to fuck off, they get sent to prison camps, just like in any socialist totalitarian dictatorship. That is why every socialist / communist country on Earth has devolved into a police state that people have to escape from. The rulers know that the productive cannot be allowed to flee so they remain captive. If they become non-productive they are imprisoned or killed. That is true in every nation that has implemented what Comrade Obama is implementing in America.

CTsOpinion, you need to check YOUR facts. Slavery most definitely WAS legal in the United States at the time of the Civil War. Slavery was legal in the District of Columbia until April 1862, months after the Civil War began. It remained legal in Maryland until November 1, 1864, 20 months AFTER the Emancipation Proclamation. It remained legal in Delaware (like Maryland, a state that did not secede) until December 18th, 1865, 9 months AFTER the Civil War ended.
