Yeah, the Confederacy which formed, explictly, to defend its right to own slaves

Saying "they could have compromised" is David Brooksian level stupidity, the entire history up to that point was a series of compromises that kept slavery around, and it didn't loving work

It wouldn't be a compromise. It would be an actual crusade to end slavery instead of a fiasco with an ulterior motive like all "humanitarian interventions" tend to be

explain to us how exactly that could work

A crusade to end slavery is, explicitly, a crusade to destroy the confederacy. You do not understand this basic fact

Explain to me why the civil war should happen and the USA should go to the rebels they just kicked the everloving poo poo out of (at a cost of more war dead then the total of ALL US war dead in all the wars after the civil war) go "OK, keep your territory though and we're gonna let you instantly re-establish slavery even though we fought this war and paid this horrific cost to end slavery.

Yes this is laissez-faire equality policy

I read some article a few weeks ago about the civil war and it made the outrageous claim that the confederacy wss already working to abandon a slave based economic model in favor of a more industrial one at the end of the war, which is a particular bit of revisionism I had not heard before

Fuck it.
Monroe (SE of Charlotte) has started to flood. Lots of road closures and there's video in a closed Facebook group of a park in downtown Monroe that is under about 12 feet of water.

We'll see if these links work.

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1864422993652247&id=100002536921305
For reference, this park is recessed about 20 feet below road level.

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2124527491208333&id=100009533095457
This shows a flooded road in Wingate (just east of Monroe).

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1532002056899368&id=100002687651258

Here's some schadenfreude for the thread: Jimmy John's is flooded

Wilmington has lost its fresh water supply because it is so flooded, est 48 hours before whatever people there have banked runs out

"Transportation issues", British level understatement, means relief will be difficult to provide

also in Wilmington, coal ash is leaking from the power plant's containment, er, pit? Lagoon? Well, it's a lagoon now

New Bern's downtown is flooded, and cops/ National Guard are on site to prevent looting

"No reports of pigshit lagoons flooding at this time"
