And why is that? Why is the best stuff in the suburbs? Because that's where the white kids live, the white people who are successful with money live separately. Are you catching on yet? It's not so advanced a concept, it's not a waste of time, with my help you WILL get it, I know you will.

Take into consideration the quality of education you get in inner city schools.

Have you ever studied a college level " American History " text ? Those Northern farm boys I described in my original post in no way felt threatened by the " free labor " which was being supplied by enslaved people .
They were motivated by the beliefs of their deeply religious communities . These beliefs were preached to them by educated and more socially aware Pastors .
They were also sparked by the novel titled " Uncle Tom`s Cabin " which was written by Harriott Beecher Stowe .
As these young men joined with other local young men to form a Regiment from their State and area they believed that they were undertaking a grand adventure which was sanctioned by God . Further they believed that their " task " would be accomplished quickly and with few casualties .

While I know that there are a large number of racists and bigots here in TV from playing golf with them, some of the views expressed in this thread sound like they came from the mid 1880's and I just fell into the Twilight Zone.

Judging by some of the posts the unincorporated Twilight Zone is more like it.

Another fracture of wisdom from the omnipotent Chi?

We should all pretend, like good liberals that everyone is the same and equal. Of course, liberals want to move into TV because of how safe and quiet it is. But, they are not racists, at least they don't say anything non-PC, right?

You liberals are almost as funny in your hypocritical speak as watching a gay pride parade. And both have the same goal, to be taken seriously and forced acceptance.

Very interesting.

I point out that there are quite a number of racist and bigoted posts in this thread and am automatically labeled a 'liberal.'

By that measure, could one assume that the inverse is therefore true and that only conservatives are racist and bigoted?

Enough hatred for one day, so will bow out of this thread.

Who declared that liberal was a dirty word? And when did they do it?

The history books are wrong, I know it for a fact. I've been where history was written, lived it, watched others who didn't. The books are wrong and no amount of anyone's whining, saying I'm "out there" or it's a conspiracy theory can change the facts that I know. The books are plain wrong. History IS written by the winners and it's written THEIR way. The last place you'll find the real history is in "sanctioned" textbooks.

Uncle Toms Cabin is a propaganda book. It's a work of fiction.

Wow ! So where do I go to get my tuition money back I apparently blew on my degrees ?
Just curious could you try to connect the dots for me on why a number of farm-boys from Maine would have been inspired to leave home to fight in the Civil War ?

The same reason others have fought in other wars...propaganda, lies, to avoid prison, misguided loyalty? Many were Irish right off the boat, taken away to fight.

I'm telling you, I know for a fact several "events" in history are not reported correctly in history books. That's all I can say. It's like the truth is all classified and only the official story gets reported. Your government lies to you. ALL governments lie to their people.

So did the USA really land men on the Moon ?

Couldn't tell you for sure.

Just remember, they kept the Manhattan Project and all the nuke stuff a secret, how many knew?

"The Manhattan Project began modestly in 1939, but grew to employ more than 130,000 people and cost nearly US$2 billion (about $26 billion in 2016 dollars). Over 90% of the cost was for building factories and producing the fissile materials, with less than 10% for development and production of the weapons."

They also kept what I know a secret too... They're very good at compartmentalizing, letting each person know just a small part, just what they need to operate.

Lets just say, I don't believe anything any more. It's sad what they did to me. Made me a cynic.

How can "liberal" be construed as a "dirty word" when Democrats now embrace Socialism? America has fought wars against Socialism and now Democrats associate themselves with its label and ideology.

FDR was a democratic socialist. Who does he remind you of? Hitler? Stalin? Mussolini? Mao Tse Tung?

He doesn't remind me of any of them. He was a socialist. There are radicals in all ideologies and religions. But, it is refreshing to see the liberals finally come out of the closet and finally admit that they are socialists, enemy of the American way.
