Were Confederate soldiers terrorists?

I didn't need to answer the question Sevens speech was all the answer you needed, you are just too stubborn to admit it.

Both the North and South made it plain that Blacks were not equal.

But I fail to see how anything of this has to do with whether or not there would be second class citizens later on. That's my problem.

You asserted this:

This just goes to show you that slavery would have lasted as long as it was profitable but even if it had ended, African Americans in this country would have been treated as 2nd class citizens.

How does anything in there have to do with that?

Wait...you mean to tell you that you think that if the Confederacy had freed the slaves in some near future when it was no longer 'profitable', that blacks would have been treated as equal citizens??

(Even in our history as it stands now, you do realize that it took almost a hundred years for Blacks to get civil rights laws passed in this country, right?)


HAHAHAHHAHA....good luck proving that one.

I'm not saying that would have been the case, necessarily. I am saying that the statement you provided doesn't prove it.

As I said, the quote you provided doesn't prove anything.

That's the problem with it.
