Southern heritage and pride, not to mention it is part of our history.

Wow, you think they seceded just to become a slave owning country? They seceded for other reasons, slavery didn't become an issue until the Civil War was about over.

for the sake of an arguement i agree, i was just trying to point how it could be seen as a racist thing.
i know there were more reasons, so you win. im not in the mood to argue

No, I am not wrong. You got your history twisted.

no.. you are very wrong.

Slavery is something bloated by the North AFTER the war to justify their actions.

Most of the history you read in school are just northern propaganda anyways.

The south also had a plan to gradually phase out slavery.

... No I don't, slavery was an issue since it began, you're saying it didn't become an issue until the civil war was almost over? What are you smoking? I know my history and I have no idea where you learned yours but at least go look something up before making a statement that obviously has no founding in reality.
