Sons of confederate veterans? I'm a southern marxist, I hate slavery and


believe the war was just and necessary BUT I think Lincoln fucked up big time in the spring of 1861. Virginia very well may have stayed in the Union had he played his cards a little less rashly. A Virginia-less Confederacy would have been a joke and the war over in months.

There are some southern lefties, particularly Left Libertarians, who have little love for Lincoln. I'm 66 now, but I have people at the great-grandfather level who died or lost everything they had in that war
