The Confederate Question Never Closed
An old professor's epigram, tested against the monuments, the forts, the flag, a Supreme Court ruling from this spring, and the counterfeit history of emancipation now spreading online. An old history professor of mine once offered a sentence that has outlasted most of what I learned in his classroom. The South lost the battle, he said, and won the war. He meant that the Confederacy was more alive in the present than it had been on the April morning when Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox. The claim sounded like provocation at the time. It reads now like a weather report. Army forts carry the names of men who took up arms against the United States. The Supreme Court has just rewritten the rules that protected Black voters in the states most determined to suppress them. A battle flag the rebel armies never managed to carry into Washington was paraded through the Capitol in 2021. My professor's epigram deserves a hearing, and it deserves a harder examination than its admirers usually give it, because one half of it is true in a way that should alarm anyone who wants a working democracy, and the other half is false in a way that can disarm the people who would defend one.

An English dude named Thomas Day read the #Declaration once and wrote, in 1776: "If there be an object truly ridiculous in nature it is an #American patriot signing resolutions of independency with the one hand and with the other brandishing a whip over his affrighted #slaves."xxrie: That's why you should never accept the excuse “Well it was a different time." They knew it was wrong. They always knew.

1770 Advertisement for #Tobacco
"A few Hogheads of the very best #Virginia Tobacco"
What I recently learned is that some of these tobacco plantations used cheap labor from convict servants shipped here from Britain. I have heard since I was a youth about the black #slaves, but do not remember the public school system telling us about these white servants, separated from family, and brought to American colonies against their will, after being caught for a petty crime.

#FunFact #OTD 1776 the Continental Congress had declared Friday, May 17, 1776, as a national day of “Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer” the proclamation specifically referenced seeking forgiveness in the "merits and mediation of Jefus Chrift".
The text drafted by a New Jersey delegate stated “it becomes the indispensable duty of these hitherto free and happy colonies, with true penitence of heart, and the most reverent devotion, publickly to acknowledge the over ruling providence of God.”
While proposed by a New Jersey delegate, in Massachusetts numerous copies were printed for distribution to every congregation, replacing the British “God Save the King” with “God Save This People.”
Congress was framing the war as a divine test, asking for aid of the Lord, and believing national repentance could secure God’s protection. This reflected the covenant theology common among New England clergy: nations prosper or suffer according to their obedience to God.
George Washington himself apparently observed the proclamation, enforcing strict troop observance as colonialists were urged to humbly #confess sins, and #repent amidst the surging Revolutionary war movement. Efforts were made to ensure the American colonials spent time engaged in seeking God’s assistance in the quest for #liberty from the British #monarchy.
The British, who'd soon ban the slave trade, generally refrained from authoritatively affiliating with God, or claiming religious right to their colonies, while American revolutionaries heavily used #Christian rhetoric to justify resistance. #Colonialists invoked God as an ally in their quest for territorial independence, oft found ways to interpret bible passages as justification to continue importing and owning #slaves.

Leg-irons are considered torture by the UN today (although they are used routinely in some countries) and can cause serious injury long term, but this picture and the article were over a hundred years ago. The prisoners wore different coloured hats depending on the length of their sentence.
Used a larger image to see if it comes out better.

#Slaves in the past were captured by force; today’s slaves surrender themselves. The masters are the same old folk (who are now more civilized) who would not lift a hand against a fellow human being! They have established economic systems that perpetuate their superiority so the poor are blamed either for their laziness or their fate.
