Backpedaling would be more effective if you weren't referring to a record anyone could just scroll up and read.
The war was not about any noble effort, it was simply about economics...The "noble effort" alluded to here was the Abolitionist Movement. For a guy who lies so often, you do it exceptionally poorly.
... you even stated my ancestors likely benefited from the slavery establishment.As it turns out, you're a willful immigrant to Confederate values, rather than a native son. A man of your own making. Most folks who pretend the Civil War was "simply about economic", and nothing to do with the Abolitionist Movement, the conscientious rejection of slavery, do so to feel better about the evil choices of their ancestors. They do it for false pride. The record is clear and extant: plenty of folks rejected slavery on moral basis, were motivated to fight as an ethical imperative. You pretending otherwise is insipid.
The topic of this thread is the compelling pattern of malpractice by law enforcement and profound inequity in application of the justice system. For whatever reason, that topic makes you uncomfortable enough to play this stupid what-about-ism game, floundering about from recent unrelated anecdotes to the Civil War to justify your animus.
