Come on.... I get the author's desire to see material like that get more coverage, but can't someone just make a movie about Lincoln and his close associates? |

Date: November 13th, 2012 9:35 PM Author: Flickering Shimmering Stag Film Juggernaut If the author does not like "passive" black characters, maybe instead of expected Spielberg to diverge further from history, the movie could actually show blacks and their roles during that time. For example, the script could build in a couple of black Confederacy fighters talking about how they joined in order to defend their homeland from the invading union. But I guess that does not fit with the shitlib narrative so better to just makeup black roles that do fit. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2113374&forum_id=2#22038707) |

|
Date: November 13th, 2012 9:40 PM Author: Flickering Shimmering Stag Film Juggernaut Did black confederate soldiers exist? Yes
Was the motivation of many to defend their homeland from the invasion and inevitable plundering? Yes
Can such people be called "passive"? No
Does this therefore not fit with the criteria of non-passive black characters? Yes
...
My point is obviously not that such characters should be written in, but rather that the author needs to be honest with what he wants: People with black skin espousing what he *believes* is both morally right and an accurate narrative of the time. |

Date: November 13th, 2012 10:11 PM Author: Flickering Shimmering Stag Film Juggernaut They did not want the southern states to leave. Built up ground forces. Eventually goaded the initiation of conflict through aggressive placement of warships. etc.
Step back for a moment, do you think any material violence would have happened if Lincoln had given the thumbs up to the Confederacy becoming independent? Lincoln refused to allow a peaceful withdrawal and everybody knew if conflict did start, the union would look to march deep into the South to quell any attempts to secede with utter brutality.
The facts also bear this out, 400K Southerns killed, shitloads of civilians, massive number of rapes, entire towns burned, etc. |

Date: November 13th, 2012 10:14 PM Author: passionate karate Why the fuck would black slaves care whether the southern states were part of the union? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2113374&forum_id=2#22039027) |
|
Date: November 13th, 2012 10:19 PM Author: Flickering Shimmering Stag Film Juggernaut There was no unifying reason. I suspect one of the biggest however were the MASSIVE tariff increase that Lincoln was pushing which would have crippled the agricultural base of the Southern Economy. This economic hardship would naturally have a disproportionate impact on the lowest rungs. All any farm workers, no matter race or status, would have to hear is that the Union was going to massively impoverish them. I suspect that would have been sufficient.
Moreover, even for those blacks (and others in general) who did not care whether their state left the Union, they certainly did care that once fighting broke out, if their side lost, their homes, families and livelihood would be destroyed. |

|
Date: November 13th, 2012 10:27 PM Author: Flickering Shimmering Stag Film Juggernaut First, there was little indication that even if the Union side did win that the 30 year old farm slave would actually be freed. The actual events of history right after the war show that this was a reasonable perspective.
Second, even if you were convinced you would be freed if Lincoln won, you also knew that you, your family, your community stood a very good chance of being beaten, raped or killed by the Union just by virtue of the fact that they would most probably invade. |

http://www.civil-war.net/pages/mississippi_declaration.asp
"Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery - the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product, which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin."

|
Date: November 13th, 2012 10:33 PM Author: Flickering Shimmering Stag Film Juggernaut You know when Palin talked about how if Obama is elected and passes Obamacare you would see death panels? This is the same thing. All Miss is doing here is painting the starkest picture possible for white slaveowners in order to get them to buy-into the secession. Fear tactics 101.
Again, look at what actually happened, how free was the 30 year old slave post Civil war?
A slave would rightfully have no confidence that they would be freed if the Union won. Moreover, they also knew that in the process of winning, the Union would plunder and kill innocents in the south. |
|
Date: November 13th, 2012 10:34 PM Author: Soul-stirring House "This is the same thing."
Except it's the exact opposite of what you claimed. You said there was "little reason" to think slavery would be abolished, but in fact the southern states claimed that was the primary reason they were seceding.
So there's your Sarah Palin moment - Mississippi screaming at the top of its lungs that the institution of slavery was under attack. I hope this clarifies things for you.
"look at what actually happened"
What actually happened was slavery was abolished. |
|
Date: November 13th, 2012 10:37 PM Author: Flickering Shimmering Stag Film Juggernaut Exactly, just like there is little chance of death panels, but why do you think Palin screeches about them? It is a means to energize and motivate her base. The exact same thing is happening with Miss. They are stretching what could be reasonably inferred into something that kinda, sorta sounds partially plausible, but also ensures maximum buy-in from the most powerful members of the state.

|
Date: November 13th, 2012 10:37 PM Author: Soul-stirring House "just like there is little chance of death panels"
Except, you know, slavery actually WAS abolished. |
|
Date: November 13th, 2012 10:48 PM Author: Flickering Shimmering Stag Film Juggernaut Eventually, sure, but there was little evidence to suggest it would actually happen. And, in effect, slavery continued to exist, it just took the forms of shitty sharecropping.
The 30 yo black dood post civil war probably had his daughter raped, a cousin get killed and was starving due to the totally economic ravaging of the south. All these outcomes were fairly easily predictable at the onset of the conflict in the event the Union won. My point is that it is therefore totally reasonable for that 30yo who can make this reasonable prediction to aid (in whatever way possible) in the fight against the union, even if there is some faint glimmer that the institution of slavery may, potentially, end. |
|
Date: November 13th, 2012 10:49 PM Author: Soul-stirring House "but there was little evidence to suggest it would actually happen."
So then what was the threat to the southern economy? Tariffs can't be the answer, since the union could have just as easily slapped tariffs on confederate states after they seceded. |
|
Date: November 13th, 2012 10:54 PM Author: Flickering Shimmering Stag Film Juggernaut "Tariffs can't be the answer, since the union could have just as easily slapped tariffs on confederate states after they seceded."
This is the problem. You are trying to have a convo about the civil war, and you don't even fucking know how or what Tariffs are in general and what Lincoln wanted to do. Lincoln wanted to slap MASSIVE tariffs of EUROPEAN goods. After they suceded all Lincoln could do to the south was slap tariffs on Southern agricultural exports to the Union. Totally fucking different and ALOT less harmful to the southern economy (Lincoln would not have even done that as it would invoke significant unrest in the north against him). |
|
Date: November 13th, 2012 10:56 PM Author: Soul-stirring House So slaves were fighting for the confederacy because they opposed tariffs on European imports? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2113374&forum_id=2#22039439) |
|
Date: November 13th, 2012 11:02 PM Author: Flickering Shimmering Stag Film Juggernaut I already indicated why slaves would support the southern states against the Union. No matter the chance of potential freedom from slavery, is it worth the certainty that if the Union wins they will raze and rape?
The tariff thing was an alternative reason for why others (maybe some blacks) would look to defy the union. Go back and re-read, although given that you entered this discussion not even knowing what a fucking tariff was or what Lincoln was trying to do, I have little confidence in your abilities. |
|
Date: November 13th, 2012 11:03 PM Author: Soul-stirring House "is it worth the certainty that if the Union wins they will raze and rape?"
Most slaves seemed to think so, since they overwhelmingly supported the union.
Maybe it had something to do with the fact that southern slave owners routinely raped and killed slaves. |
|
Date: November 13th, 2012 11:07 PM Author: Flickering Shimmering Stag Film Juggernaut Again, the fact that many slaves supported the North does not dispute what I am saying. I don't think that southern slaves who supported the union were wrong in doing so, but it is certainly not the only reasonable conclusion nor the only conclusion that all slaves made. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2113374&forum_id=2#22039537) |
|
Date: November 13th, 2012 11:10 PM Author: Soul-stirring House It disputes your contention that slaves did not expect to be emancipated, and that they did not expect their emacipated lives to be better than their lives as slaves.

|
Date: November 13th, 2012 11:13 PM Author: Flickering Shimmering Stag Film Juggernaut Not really. it was still a possibility. Moreover, many of these slaves probably figured they could make a run for anti-slave states during the chaos. Many may have also wished to fight against their oppressors as a form of revenge. Three very reasonable reasons for slaves supporting the union. As I have said, this is not about proving that one decision was right and the other wrong.

|
Date: November 13th, 2012 11:04 PM Author: Flickering Shimmering Stag Film Juggernaut If the Union won, it was pretty certain that vast chunks, if not the majority, of the south would be razed and raped. It was also not certain that subsequently the slaves would be freed.

1) Union army, if it wins, will most likely rape and pillage which exposes myself and my family. 2) Lincoln policies stand to devastate the economy and therefore myself 3) Developed bond and loyalty to my southern community
I can see people concluding for either option because both have strong underlying reasons. |

If the author does not like "passive" black characters, maybe instead of expected Spielberg to diverge further from history, the movie could actually show blacks and their roles during that time. For example, the script could build in a couple of black Confederacy fighters talking about how they joined in order to defend their homeland from the invading union. But I guess that does not fit with the shitlib narrative so better to just makeup black roles that do fit.

Date: November 13th, 2012 11:16 PM Author: Flickering Shimmering Stag Film Juggernaut They arent depicted because it runs counter to the narrative that has been constructed. The OP article is the perfect example of this. Historical accuracy of existence is not important, what is important is showing black dudes giving Lincoln useful advice. The narrative is what is important to these people. If the movie did depict some black doods advising Lincoln, would you assume they existed? Of course not. So why, when there is no depiction of blacks supporting the southern states, do you assume they don't exist?
Very faulty reasoning. |

But, when we would see a movie that accurately portrayed the AA community in that time period, she would say, "Why can't they show us in a better light? Why do we have to act ignorant?" I would say, "ahh..because they are being accurate? I mean, this is a story about a normal black guy in the 1850s, not Fredrick Douglass."
