RE: Deconstructing Slavery and the American Revolution: Truth vs. Revisionist History

in #history7 years ago

Hi, Rich,

I'm always disturbed to learn how little I really know about things...

Of course, I hated history in school. Much more inclined towards the sciences. Maybe it was because "history" was so biased and papered over with propaganda?

I have long viewed the "civil" war as the war of northern aggression, thanks to others who have shared the real history with me. But then, aren't all wars pretty much wars of aggression? I have come to view all human governments as aggressive, tyrannical, and totally uncalled for.

Thanks for an interesting article.

😄😇😄

I couldn't agree more about human governments... the problem is you have to do away with all of them at once- otherwise some despotic empire will walk in and take you over. Good to hear from you again my friend!

I've come to the point where I simply ignore all of them to the extent possible... That's how you do away with all of them at once! Ignore them, and Steem on! ;)

That's kind of the point! I've been ignoring them for decades- it's impossible to do away with them... just quit paying taxes- I did in 2000

How do you quit paying taxes without getting into some kind of trouble?

I quit filing.

I did in the early '90's...

But it is very hard, maybe impossible, to quit paying all of them. They get you, left and right.
