War Drums for Syria?

- Ron Paul -

Since you seem to be incapable of disconnecting issues that shouldn’t be connected allow me to offer some reasons why the north invaded the south under the guise of abolishing slavery before we can continue on.

First off slavery was legal in ALL of the states, the north included, yet no one bothers to mention the these northern slaves remained slaves for a year after the war and then it took a constitutional amendment to free them! How can this be if the war was fought to free the southern slaves? Makes a nice cover though doesn’t it?

The south seceded over States’ rights. Being able to keep slaves was an issue but it was far from the only one, and again keep in mind that the north also had slaves. Preserving the union or preserving control, financial control? The north was imposing tariffs on goods coming out of the south but not on goods headed to the south. This is financial control and is a major cause for the south wanting to secede. The north didn’t like that the economy in the south was growing much more rapidly than its own.

Why did the union fight when they categorically did not do so to free the black man. They generally didn’t care about the black man as the general feeling was that their freedom would inundate the cities with very cheap labor and force whites out of their jobs. They were fighting to preserve, as they saw it, the union. The soldiers felt Lincoln had compromised their reasons to fight when he signed the Emancipation Proclamation and refused to fight so Lincoln, often at the point of a gun, had to force soldiers back into battle. The Emancipation Proclamation was a political move intended to keep Europeans from joining the south in their struggle. England was in a horrific depression due in large part to Lincolns blockade on shipments of from the world’s largest producer of cotton, the southern states as England’s economy was heavily tied to the textile trade. This gave the south an excellent opportunity to gain ground financially.

He who wins the war gets to write the history from their perspective only and the victor always ends up looking like a shining knight.

There’s a lot more detail out there for anyone who wants to know the truth rather than spew the media fairy tales.

So back to the topic, spend time reading and listening to Ron Paul and it will soon occur to even you that he is the only politician who isn’t afraid to take the high ground and tell the truth.
