Talk:Confederate States of America

United Daughters of the Confederacy
The United daughters of the confederacy were essentially a bunch of southern socialites that put up a large percentage of the monuments and racist textbooks. This was part of the larger Lost Cause movement. I think we should include more about this, of course without too much pedantic detail.

Terrorist organization?
This page is categorized to "Terrorist organizations", but it is not really explained in the article text. I certainly don't want to defend them, but to me it seems that the CSA was more like an insurgent organization. While they committed some atrocities and the slavery perperated by them was absolutely horrible, at least AFAIK they mostly fought according to the conventions of war of the time. --Capacitor (talk) 19:45, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I actually agree with this. The Confederacy was a rival government, not a terrorist organization. 19:48, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

There's nothing racist about this flag.
Seriously folks. I also don't freak out over the LGBT pride flag. Get over it. I hope Mississippi will keep their flag. 2003:C3:371F:1300:3444:3FB8:C0C1:76F3 (talk) 00:43, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Jefferson Davis and the Confederacy beg to differ. Also, make your shitposts more interesting. 00:53, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

The Confederacy lasted for 5 years
This Twitter thread illuminates the many long-time cultural achievements that are more worthy than the Confederacy. 20:13, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Root Cause
"The CSA remains the root cause of most modern political problems of the United States."

Not only is this line incredibly simplistic, but slavery, which preceded the CSA, is definitely the root cause of both the CSA and the political problems this article is likely attributing to the CSA. 2607:FEA8:5460:5C4:E47C:74C6:9292:9B29 (talk) 03:22, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I think what that line means is that it was slavery (which was, among other things, what caused the Southern states to secede) that lay the foundation for Jim Crow segregation, police brutality, and voter suppression systems designed to perpetuate unfair treatment of Blacks in today's South. -- Goatspeed. 03:30, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
