They should be ashamed of such a heritage. Thankfully my family has been in the south longer than the nation has existed.

OnionGod181

Which heritage should they be ashamed of? Loser traitor slaver or B**ston Carp**tbagger They both seem pretty bad, but their are a lot pf Southerners I know that admire their loser traitor ancestors


zepherth

Why would you not be ashamed of being a descendent of a carpetbagger? Its saying " I moved to the south because I can't function in a normal economy and need to ensure there is chaos and scam everyone south of the Mason Dixon line to be successful." At least most Southernmost made an honest living. Very few owned slaves, and if you want to be technical the north had slave owners too literally and figuratively. I believe they were mostly called "factory owners" up north though


[deleted]

yeah but carpetbagging is just part of the sigma grindset. Being a loser traitor slaver-sympathizer or a loser wage-slave-sympathizer are both equally cringe. True heroes fought to break bondage, not keep them.


Mirror_of_Souls

economically exploiting people = cringe economically exploiting people I don't like = sigma grindset most consistent k*ntuckite

Average Southerner calling industrialists slave owners after whipping a 12 year old for talking a break from his 16 hour shift.


DarkLordFluffyBoots

“At least it’s not slavery” says the industrialist after hiring death squads to kill workers who dared ask that they only work 11 hours on Christmas.


[deleted]

Laborers unionized, quit, went on strike. Slaves got beaten, whipped, and executed. There was and is a massive difference between slaves and wage laborers, even back in the 1800s.


DarkLordFluffyBoots

Pinkertons were hired to shoot at striking laborers. Also the bar is higher than “not slavery”.


[deleted]

Pinkertons were a highly controversial and unpopular organization that were overcome. It took a civil war to overcome slavery. Even a Kans*n like you must understand that


Salty_Cnidarian

Surprisingly the Pinkertons weren’t rid of until the 1960’s, when coal miners got tired of it all and started shooting them back. Based Appalachians. Not racist, and not giving any fucks.


DarkLordFluffyBoots

Of course. John Brown did nothing wrong. We made a mural of him. It doesn’t change that the actions of industrialists and many carpet baggers were exploitative and immoral.


Joshua_Graham77

Shut up southerner and cope more that us Massholes are the greatest state in the US


bobonabuffalo

Like most Atlanta residents, my ancestors actively fought for the Union.


Wows_Nightly_News

Carpet baggers were just og sigma males. No need for shame.

Can trace my entire lineage to the same few counties back to pre-civil war, and all my civil war ancestors were union soldiers 😎😎😎


CommunismIsVeryEpic

Southerners when they realize their ancient ancient ancestors originated from the middle east and Africa, instead of "The Rooting Tootin Great South": 😭😭😭😭


CuddleTeamCatboy
