    It wasn't a war fought to perpetuate slavery, it was a war fought to free the fucking slaves. Which it did, incidentally.

    The Civil War has a much better racial connotation than say, the name Oregon or Oregon State.

    When they came for the Robert E. Lee statues I said nothing. Because he was technically a traitor and a loser, so fuck him.

    But this is just pants-on-head silly. The Civil War ushered in the single greatest piece of human rights advancement this country has seen. Are we no longer celebrating that?
    Or could have just purchased the slaves and freed them without killing hundreds of thousands and forcing incompatible cultures to coexist in the same region.

    And the 1860s war was not actually a “civil” war but rather one of revolution. Civil wars are fought to take control of the established government control of a territory. This was succession to establish a new political system in a defined geographical area.

    Calling it the civil war will remind everyone that it was democrats that were slavers and fought freeing them. That's why all of this is being erased. It's all about the dems hiding their past and present.

    Not really. It was a Civilian War directly because some citizens were trying to leave and create their own State of Jefferson instead of staying in the Cascade Cabal. I think.
