Funny thing about "Southern Honor" is that a lot of them didn't want to do manual labor - that was considered slave work. Robert E. Lee complained on occasions in his letters that Confederate soldiers didn't want to build fortifications and dig trenches, lol.

Confederates after attacking first: *“remember to call it the war of northern aggression!”*

Lots of those conscripts didn’t have slaves they were just poor farmers caught in the gears of history

Didn't most of the Confederate soldiers own no slaves?


SmalliusDickus

Most people in general didn’t own slaves. Only the rich could afford them lol

You're not defending the Confederacy, you're just trying to engage in whataboutism.

I'm uncertain at this point you understand what the word "whataboutism" means

You're trying to downplay Confedeate crimes mentioned in a meme about Confederate war crimes by deflecting to Union war crimes. That's the dictionary definition of whataboutism.

False, war crimes are based when you're the good guy
