Репост из: Young Dixie
The left hates the Confederacy because it was the embodiment of everything they are against. The CSA was a decentralized Confederation of small government ruralites who believed in honor, obligation, racial purity and order. The left believes in an anti-White-centered equalitarian urban based technocracy put in power by mob rule. In their minds, it's the Federal government's job to enforce said ideology into every corner of the USA regardless if said inhabitants want to accept it or not. The South and it's Confederacy is a rejection of and polar opposite of the the American Lefts ultimate dream society. On top of this the fact they literally kept the modern day leftists gods, black people, in slavery is something that enrages the leftist. There not so bad as to the fact we had slavery but the fact the people enslaved were blacks. This is why modern slavery and every other ancient society that had slavery is an after thought to the egotistical Leftists while the CSA is considered a proto-Nazi Germany.
