This doesn’t have to be controversial, just read the confederate state’s declarations of succession. The cause of the civil war isn’t open for interpretation. The people who succeeded litterally wrote down and formally publicized their reasons.

none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization

Yeah that's your first mistake. You assume magas read. They don't. Then you assume they care about facts. Big mistake, buddy. They don't!

Oh fuck if I had three wishes one of them would be to get a hatchet and get into a ring with whatever fucktard wrote that.

Go read what the other states wrote. There’s more fun in there!

I'm already angry enough at humanity.

I'm genuinely ready to go to the street and burn shit down and I don't even live in the states. (I've got some of my own problems where I live as well.)

Why a hatchet? Why not them just hogtied and you with a loaded 12ga shotgun? Pump-action and with magnum slugs!

I like to get in there.

A firearm is so... impersonal.

Ok so him tied up and you have the hatchet. Why give rhe fuck would you give them a chance? They wouldn't give you one.

"Tied up"? Where's the fun in that?

I want to see the look in their face when they realise they've given it their all and still have not a chance in hell. I fucking love seeing the desperation in the eyes of racists and fascists everywhere when they realise they don't have any more fallbacks and have to rely on their own person, which is always inadequate.

Don't forget the part where if you joined the Confederacy you signed:

"No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in Negro slaves shall be passed.”
