The North understood the art of war and didn't go for a defensive prolonged struggle.

Everyone in the union was on one accord: "Preserve the Union at all costs" ̶M̶a̶k̶e̶ ̶s̶u̶r̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶f̶i̶t̶s̶ ̶f̶r̶o̶m̶ ̶s̶l̶a̶v̶e̶r̶y̶ ̶g̶e̶t̶ ̶t̶a̶x̶e̶d̶

This was not the case in the south as since every state was sovereign they each had their own reasons which led to a lack of cohesion.

The fatcats bankrolling the war wanted their tax free slave profits while the rank and file southerner was fighting for states rights.

2. They refused to let blacks fight until they were already losing the war aka too late. Why? Illogical prejeduce.

I don't like Lincoln but he even admitted himself that black soldiers were a key asset in winning the war.

Lincoln was still racist but put his own feelings aside to be pragmatic unlike the south.

The funny thing is during that time blacks and whites were mostly segregated so how they had such strong negative opinions about people they barely saw is beyond me.

Serious question to Trump supporters:

What are you expecting him to do if he manages to get re-elected?

He already lost my trust from:

1. Not pardoning the Jan. 6ers (Yes they're idiots but they're still his people)

2. Cosigning operation warpspeed

3. Letting the Stimmy $$ roll

I just don't see how anyone can trust him anymore.

@shortstories @basedbagel @white_male @doggel @sardonicsmile @ugly_bastard_reborned @UncleIroh I have something cheaper

I don't think men innately handle rejection better than women.

I think men are FORCED to handle rejection well because it happens so much you have to or you go crazy.

If women had to handle rejection often at an early age they would be less cunty when they don't get their way

@deprecated_ii Yup, it's all bylaws, insurance, building codes, inspectors, and suddenly everything is 10x as expensive and now you need to work for half your life to afford shit.

The bottom line is that you can pile up a bunch of rocks and decide that's a house and that's how humans have lived since day 1. If you can't find a cave, build a cave substitute. Look at the tunnel jews. Or even the Amish. What's a great way to make a house dramatically cheaper and simpler to build? No electrical and just run whatever shit you need off of battery. Nobody actually needs power run to every fucking room of their house. Just an example.

maybe instead of trying to pay baristas a "living wage" in the current system we should ask why it's so expensive to exist in america in the first place
