Did the Confederacy actually lose, though? Or did the Union just suffer a pyrrhic victory?
Edit: Just saying, the Confederacy lost but their flag is still flown on the state flag of Mississippi, Reconstruction didnāt go far enough and failed, sharecropping, Jim Crow laws, segregation, civil rights movement opposition, systemic and societal racism is still rampant and accepted (Trump), hell, the āstateās rightsā arguments is still one of the first reasons people give for the cause of the Civil War. Fuck, we still have legal slavery via our prison system.
Soā¦ Did the Confederacy actually lose? Cause theyāre ideology, beliefs, and the consequences of their hate is still rampant, and weāre still dealing with their bullshit.
Yes they lost the civil war. We know this because the CSA does not exist any more. I think that losing your entire country and failing to achieve any strategic objectives is a pretty good definition of ālost a war.ā The fact that traditions of racism still existed in the southern states during reconstruction does not mean that the CSA won. Thatās silly.
Unfortunately, the winners write the history books, whether right or wrong
If winners write history, why is the lost cause of the confederacy still a thing?
