Posting this only to make myself feel better, because I keep running into profoundly and purposefully uneducated people:
The CSA states attempted to secede from the United States in order to preserve the institution of chattel slavery. This isn’t “woke”, this isn’t “critical race theory”, this isn’t left-wing propaganda.
We know that multiple states seceded in order to preserve the institution of slavery because they told us so, explicitly, often in writing. We know that the CSA was founded in order to preserve the institution of slavery because they said so, explicitly, often in writing.
This isn’t “woke” history, this isn’t “BLM history”, this isn’t “communist revisionism”.
They wrote it down.
Inevitably, when I run into these midwits, I post the relevant source documents, and am met with “you should do your research!” followed by being blocked.
I absolutely loathe these people.
