2. The million slaves in the "Union" were in Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, West Virginia, and Delaware.

Border States

The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in states that the Union did not control. Why? To undermine the Confederate Economy, of course!

However, freeing the slaves in the border states BEFORE a definitive Union victory could have encouraged some of the border states to swap sides.

Freeing slaves was a nice idea but not vital to the national defense of the Union in 1863.

But Missouri, Kentucky, and obviously Maryland, were critical to the national security of the Union.

Those slaves had to wait an extra 2 years for their freedom but it did come.

If the thread starter tells us to shut up about the Civil War, so be it.
That War is just one facet of the whole phenomenon of race relations in the U.S.A. That's why it has some relevance to this topic.

The former existence of slavery is a major basis for the accusation that all Whites of all generations are "guilty" and Blacks thereby are owed for ever and a day. Of course, the MSM has little to say about the indentured labourers who made up much of the White immigrant population, I believe.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Tyler_JC', '

The answer was NO.

I'm not sure what you are getting at with your question. Do you have some other conspiracy theory about why the war was fought?

[vision-master]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'Y')eah Eli, Grant should have marched west from Atlanta and burned that state to ground before its spawned the likes of Big Joe, Lyndon Johnson, and GW Bush. criminals all of them.

[vision-master]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Loki', 'F')or fuck's sake, enough with the Civil goddamn War! Can we please leave the 19th century and enter the 21st?

Look, these two scumbags had it coming. I'm not going to lose any sleep over their extinction and neither should anyone else, excepting anti-white racists and white self-loathers, who can't be pleased anyway, so fuck 'em. Pstarr, have you ever spoken out for the thousands of innocent whites killed and raped by racist blacks every year? Or are you just another garden variety progressive hypocrite? Wait wait, let me guess

Despite ILP's crass outbursts, not all black people are criminals. There are millions of decent black Americans, and if anything, they suffer disproportionately from black crime. But liberal jackasses like pstarr can't be bothered to think about real victims, even the black ones. It's all about them evil "crackers," who he curses from the blissfully black-free community he chose to move to. Did someone mention hypocrite?

As for black-on-white crimes, the statistics speak for themselves. There has been a clear targeting of whites by blacks when it comes to violent crime, particularly rape, but also murder, assault, and robbery. Anyone with a functional brain (i.e., not an idiot PC liberal) knows this. Joe Horn knew this and prepared accordingly. He lived, the poor innocent criminal scumbags didn't. Boo fucking hoo.

Everybody has there own prejudices, sometimes they are hard to explain.

There certainly is a certain kind of Texas pride and attitude that you run into from time to time that can be offensive.

I am really not sure, but it is there , remember the Texas state tourism slogan? It was "Texas it is like a whole nother country".
The history of the state has a lot to do with it, Texas Rangers, Sam Houston, Cowboys oilmen all that jazz.

You also can't escape "everything is bigger in Texas". I personally don't find any of this offensive but I can see how some people would.

You see a lot of prejudice between Texans and people on the East Coast and it is a two way street. Also the further North you go you see the same thing. The vast differences in accents does not help. Someone with a thick Texas accent immediately sounds like an idiot hick to a Northerner.

"The lone Star State"

What's this garbage?

[Eli]

Texas was an independent country from the US for a little while.

Texas Revolution

Texas Rules......

Be advised: The "He needed killin'" defense is valid here.

[Eli]

You have to remember Texas has a huge independence streak.

It is after all still a place where it is popular to have a gun rack in your truck. You can legal drive around with a loaded 30.06 no permit needed.

I know people don't like it but Joe Horn never actually broke any Texas laws.

[MrBill]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Tyler_JC', 'O')n balance, the world is better off with 2 fewer criminals...

However, deadly force was probably not necessary.

He could have just badly wounded one of them and scared both of them off his property.

I'd have to hear all of the details to make an informed decision about the matter.

[Eli]

Reading around the net, it looks like there are conflicting reports of what happened. Some reports are coming out that say these two were shot in the back, if that is the case Joe Horn should go up on charges.

Joe Horn case

He still might not have broken any Texas laws, but shooting them in the back as they were running away would be murder as I have said before.
