"which was of course completely separate from slavery and racism." --

I didn't say it was SEPERATE from slavery and racism, what I mean by "Nor do I believe the Confederacy was racist" means that I don't believe that is mainly founded on slavery. I know that it WAS a racist state, however, so was the US when it was founded(most of the founding fathers owned slaves) and we don't say the US was founded on slavery.

Putting people to high standards and then saying to supporters of a view "SEE!" is a bad arguing method.
