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?

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.

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.

To stay permanently?

Probably last year. Gives me enough time to increase my networth by a factor of 10 through my "future" knowledge, but does not mean I lose modern amenities or family relationships. Maybe make it 2 years to really cement my ability to grow my investments by a factor of 10.

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.

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.

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.

"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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

If the Confed won, it was pretty certain that slavery would continue to exist. It was not certain that the slaves family and community would be raped and killed as a result of slavery.

Maybe, maybe not. Pick a random 30yo slave with a daughter, wife and relatives. Were they better off post or pre civil war? The conclusion is not so clear-cut for that dood.

I don't see how you can say that. Look, the stats suggest that if you were in that guys shoes, there was a good chance your daughter who would otherwise not have been raped, was by the union army, your cousin would be killed and your wife starve. How can you say unequivocally that this is worth the potential to be freed? For some, maybe, but for many not at all.

No, I did not you idiot. I said that if an individual slave were to conclude that they would be worse off as a result of union victory, that I would not be surprised and is an assessment I would expect a number of them to come to. VERY DIFFERENT than saying that the rational choice of southern slaves would be to support the Confed.

Some made the decision they would be worse off as a result of union victory and others the opposite. The fact that the decision is totally subjective means both could be reasonable made with neither party being irrational or retarded.

Reasons to support union:

1) Potential End of slavery in the country

2) Chance to run away during the conflict

3) Revenge against slaveowners

Reason to support confederacy:

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.

You still haven't explained why a slave would reasonably expect to be worse off under union control than under southern control. In order for that to happen, the slave would have to have some reason to think that one outcome was more likely than the other, yet you seem curiously unable to enunciate such a reason.

Where do you think that 30yo slave came from? Maybe he was captured during a tribal conflict and sold to Europeans? Maybe he heard descriptions from other people? Maybe a couple of months into the war he began to hear stories?

Again, the question is not about the existence about such an event, but rather the frequency/likelihood. I doubt actual numbers exist, but the assesment would look like:

Chance I get raped as a slave in the confederacy: 2%/year

Chance I get raped if the union wins: 50%

From that you can understand why, even when slaves were raped normally, they could still not want the union to win.

All we can show is aggregates when it comes to data. That tells us little about a specific individuals choice.

Data that would support ex post conclusion of slaves being better off under union control: Eventual freedom from slavery

Data that would support ex post conclusion of slaves being beter off under southern control: 100K civilian deaths, Sherman's march, etc.

Who the fuck knows exactly what a specific individual knew ex ante. I can guess in general about their perspective on abolish chances, etc, but it would just be guesses.

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.

Then the movie ends with the butler meeting a freed slave who says his free name will be "Martin Luther Obama."

The myth of blacks fighting for the Confederacy is obviously bullshit. Forget if blacks were dumb enough to fight for their own enslavement, but do you really think slave owners would allow blacks to fight alongside them as equals? Sure, blacks could have been forced to aid the war effort because they were slaves, but how many free blacks were in the South?

Of course. He's not interested in reality - he imagines something that is consonant with his worldview and then sets about to describe a fact pattern or rationale to fit. It's really fascinating to watch.

He's like someone with a 90 iq who somehow has the articulateness of someone with a 115 iq.

notice how I said "fighters" and not "soldiers"? Also notice how throughout my convo above I refer to the hypothetical 30 yo "doing whatever he can"? Nobody here has suggested that you had a black dood marching next to a white dood in the regular army.

There's a reason these guys aren't depicted in the movies: they didn't exist.

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.

If you just think about it for a moment, you'll realize that blacks fought with their southern protectors against rapists from the north.

Stuff like this would come up in my previous relationship. She is AA, and would constantly point these things out. 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."
