FFS, the VP of the Confederacy comes right out and says, in one of his speeches, that the reason they started the war was because the only thing black people were useful for were laboring in the hot sun, and it was the white man’s god given duty to enslave them.
Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.
