the Battle of Gettysburg

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

since this forum seems to also be any topic, I just wanted to say, yesterday, July 3rd, was the 150th anniversary of the final day of the battle of Gettysburg in the American Civil War.

I've been on exciting raids (not on p99 -- not a singleperson has told me to plan on raiding here) during my eq life. Some of them still as if yesterday. I remember the first time, for example, the great coalition on Quellious -- Wraith and Reviviscence -- cleared ToV. I remember my first Avatar of War kill. I remember when I -- yes, me, Sadre the enchanter -- got the kill shot on Quarm. I play eq -- and on this server -- because it made you work hard to get those kinds of accomplishments. We all have our stories.

But I was thinking about Gettysburg today. Tens of thousands of men charged, and died, 150 years ago on that battlefield. We can curse war, but war happens. And I wanted to just post a tribute to the fallen.

Curse that tyrant Lincoln for spilling our brother's blood

Federalism vs states rights on infrastructure and development? The same bullshit fight they have today.

[radditsu]

Also some subplot about lincoln killing vampire leaders of the confederacy.

The real reason of the civil war was economics.

[Rhambuk]

Theres a reason behind war?

the senseless killing of thousands can't have any sort of reason.

[Hasbinbad]

a bunch of idiots died so that rich people could get richer.

nothing to see here.

I bet this fucking moron is so dumb he actually believes this.

[Abacab-Godking]

So far every one of you fucking morons has no idea why the civil war took place. I love calling you dumb idiots out on believing everything your schools have taught you. This is why I am the godking.

D+ anon troll

[Alawen]

I have no idea why anyone would answer this asshat. He doesn't have some deep and hidden knowledge. The causes of the war were complex and you could fill a house with volumes written about it.

[Nuggie]

The real reason of the civil war was economics.

This, as with most other wars.

[Abacab-Godking]

Lets dumb the question down a little bit since you morons can't comprehend anything about history or even critically think your way out of unemployment.

What did Lincoln do to persuade control over the russian navy?

The prize has been increased to 700k platinum. (I'll give it away because I do not even play that particular character anymore and it's sitting in waste).

The prize winning question is still, "What is the real reason for the civil war." Answer is as easy as 4 simple words.

Dumbass uneducated morons.

[Alawen]

Fucking idiot doesn't even understand what cause and effect means.

Is it: the cotton gin?

[Alawen]

No. His poorly functioning brain has somehow convinced him that Russia preventing France and England from assisting the Confederacy caused the war, which makes not a lick of sense.

Abraham Lincoln's Greenback Dollar

The death of central banking and the spread of the reserve system made the bankers determined to split up the the union so they could dig their claws in deeper.

[Abacab-Godking]

Alawen has horrible comprehension. I now believe everything harrison has said about you is correct.

[Alawen]

I now believe everything harrison has said

This is just another symptom of your lack of intelligence.

[Abacab-Godking]

u mad cuz u dunno answer, derpadumb.

[Alawen]

You don't know what you're talking about, the 700K doesn't exist, and you're a fucking poser.

[Reapin]

I will meet you at Freeport bank to make the Plat transfer

[Abacab-Godking]

I feed off of the raging ignorance

[Reapin]

Is that what you call your dads johnson?

[Abacab-Godking]

rage harder plz mmmmm

[Alawen]

If you sucked your own dick, you might become a perpetual motion machine.

[Abacab-Godking]

moar tearz

[Alawen]

Yes, everyone is absolutely furious that you're pretending to know some hidden truth about a war from 150 years ago. You really are just that important in the world and we all measure ourselves against you, even though we have no idea who you are. You have it all figured out.

[Abacab-Godking]

Thank you.

[Sarius]

To your second question, troll, Lincoln did not ever have control over the Russian navy. He would have only been in command if there was British or French military intervention. You do being up and interesting and often overlooked aspect of the war though. Kudos.

You stupid huh? I'm glad to see the united negro college fund still has donors.

[Barkingturtle]

I'm pretty sure you can't call them negroes since they won the war.

[Sarius]

You're forgiven.

[Rhambuk]

There are people that don't have abacab on ignore?

I have to ask, why? do you enjoy reading his nonsense? do you think he actually has something informative to say? or do you just like to laugh at his idiocy?

[waldo]

Multiple things lead to the civil war. Slavery was one of the things that lead to it. Take for instance the Missouri compromise prohibiting slavery in certain territories and then allowing it in others (in order to balance the number of free and slave states). Then the kansas-nebraska act came out negating the missouri compromise. allowing popular sovereignty, saying that the new state/territory could vote for or against slavery. This caused animosity between the radical abolitionists and the pro slavery people. You also have to take into effect that southern slaves were running away to the north, with the aid of northerners, adding more to the animosity between the north and the south. Throw in some wild cards like John Brown and it made things even worse. The final straw was when Lincoln a republican/abolitionist ran for president. Many southern states stated that if Lincoln were elected they would succeed from the union. In fact many southern states didn't even have Lincoln on the voting ballets. Lincoln was elected and South Carolina succeeded from the Union causing the civil war. You can also throw in the fact that the North was more educated/anti slavery, and the south was more agricultural/farming.

[Alawen]

Pretty good summary of the political situation, except you left out the fights over tariffs and slavery expanding toward the west.

[Barkingturtle]

So it wasn't the cotton gin?

[Samoht]

yeah, it was cheaper to send raw ore to france for smelting to make nails and ship it back than to send it to the north to have nails made, so lincoln was like TAX THAT SHIT YO.

south carolina was like FUCK YOU LINCOLN, WE WANT CHEAP NAILS.

rest was history.

In the not so distance future of Everquest Next emulator rants and flames forums, there will be a young abacab asking the future sheep of the everquest world what was really the reason for the Iraq war.

The response will be similar to this thread about what the real reason for the civil war was. A response that includes regurgitated information from falsely written history books and poorly conceived notions including, "because they flew em arrow planes intu er towerz attacking our freedumb in uhmurika." And, "weapons of mass destruction that they could have used instead of our own aero planes that we never found."

I love how stupid you socially awkward lemmings truly are when it comes to the truth of the matter. Not one of you has the slightest clue as you try to flex your internet penis to measure something you all refer to as "intelligence."

You all still dumb. Stay tuned for explanation in the not so distant future.

[fadetree]

it was george bush.

Superiority complex-ridden "Godking" of an Everquest emulator forum lording his esoteric knowledge of historical events accuses others of being socially awkward. :D

[Malice_Mizer]

What really happened to Elvis? Bruce Lee? Andy Kaufman?

I bet you idiots think you know because you've read "peer-reviewed scholarly" articles and books BUT YOU DON'T KNOW.

I saw this thing on the History Channel that says OTHERWISE...

Illuminati b/c Da Vinci Code.

[Stinkum]

It's not actually Abacab. Abacab was a lot better at trolling than this second string poser.

[Raavak]

The Rothchild banking family, which made a fortune from financing both sides. Just as they had done in countless other wars.

[Lojik]

I bet you fucking morons think the civl war was about slavery don't you? 500k platinum (I have on one of my TMO characters) to the first person to name the real reason of the civil war.

The answer is threeve.

This. Plus he failed to whine to get his account unbanned.

Since The Level Of Idiocy has risen, I will use my futile efforts to lower.

Lincoln obtained control over the Russian navy by a good faith effort which was abolishing slavery as the Czar did in Russia. The war was far from over after the slaves were free.

The real reason for the civil war was the outcry over potential powers the 2nd banks of America had over the entire economy of the world itself.

Can go into further detail. However, it would be best to start from the beginnings of history onward through the timeline of corruption and deception. Also, I thrive off of the ignorance that will spew and the rage that will wallow so I will take my time accordingly.
