Theres a lot of talk itt about what the civil war "was about." Lets see what the primary funders of the Confederacy thought it was about:
Letters from Salomon de Rothschild to his family, during his visit to America at the beginning of the Civil War.

The Confederacy was funded by international finance specifically to economically kneecap the rising United States. The Rothschilds stayed away themselves from risky Confederate Cotton Bonds but used their influence to push them in markets like France, without which the Confederacy would have been broke.
The reason you never learn about this is because:
1) Modern Democratic economic policy is this to a T.
2) It cant be turned into a trite morality play about modern racial politics
3) Literally everyone whos "offended" by Reconciliation era statues is also ACTUALLY offended when you bring up the Rothschilds interfering in American politics. In fact Id wager almost every one of them itt would say me literally quoting what Salomon de Rothschild said, is Anti-Semetic.
