Owning human beings was never right by any reasonable standards. Those states were new, yes but they were created to be slave states. Those Texans cleared out Mexicans and indigineous peoples to take over that land for the purpose of establishing a slave state. Slavery was illegal in Texas before the Republic of Texas was formed and made it legal. You're attributing victimhood to ethnic cleansing human traffickers and people who benefitted from it.
You feel sad for the shitty white boys that fought a war to maintain slavery. How about the people they fought on enslave? They could have been southern abolitionists instead. They didn't. They choose to fight on the side of evil.
So when I go to graveyards around Texas and see the little CSA flags on a few of them, I don't think they should be vandalized or lectured to and called a traitor by some 20 year old woke dweeb who was lucky to not be born in that time. I think it's sad that they had to live through that shit, that they had to die in it, or that they had to live with what they witnessed and die later. They should absolutely be honored in some capacity on Memorial Day.
