Not posting it, obvs, but they put up and deleted a video arguing that Robert E Lee was an American hero because he put down John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry. https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/pragerus-awful-defense-of-statues-honoring-robert-e-lee/

Understanding that the Civil War was about slavery and supporting the south is only incoherent if you believe slavery was bad. Since it's PragerU, I'm not sure they do, and I don't think it was mentioned one way or the other in that video.

Eh 1.5 maybe. His heart was in the right place, but guy definitely could've come up with a better plan. Hey slaves, I'm random white guy, you don't know me, but trust me we're going to do a rebellion. Here are some pikes.

-John Wilkes Boothe was in the militia present at his hanging, and this may have had an impact on his thinking.
-Abraham Lincoln's son had fallen off a train platform onto the tracks, and John Wilkes Boothe's brother saved him.
-Pikes captured from the failed rebellion were distributed to southern governors and displayed in capitol buildings as a warning of what was to come
-Lee had grabbed his ceremonial sword instead of his real sword, so when he smashed it down on John's head it bent and only gave him a nasty gash instead of killing him as intended
-John forbid any rescue attempts because he became friends with his jailer and didn't want anything bad to happen to him or his family incidental to a rescue
-John's son Owen had been shot during the night, and while he was dying noisily in the firehouse as they were holed up, John reportedly told Owen to shut up and "die like a man.".

Minor nitpick: that was Lt. Israel Green, who led the marines when they stormed the building Brown was holed up in. And he followed it up with an attempt to run him through but the light dress weapon bent double instead of penetrating deeply.

And in general, you can use a lot of their videos to illustrate dishonest arguments. The example that's stuck with me is, their videos proving that the Democrats are still racist and Republicans aren't rely heavily on evidence from the 1800s, as well as the fact that the first non-white-male X was a Republican. Apart from the fact that the parties have realigned on civil rights, their claim that "the first non-white-male X was a Republican" relies on cherry-picking which X they use. Yes, the first Asian-American Senator was a Republican, but the first Asian-American Representative was a Democrat, as are all but two current Asian-American members of Congress.

Funny how the majority of the slave states all vote die hard republican these days when until the latter part of the 20th century they were die hard democrats.

I’ve always thought it ironic that the south was so anxious to remove the army from the south and then after some magic, all the modern army bases are in the south carrying confederate names. It’s so gosh darn odd.

Current Republicans were actually super liberal, it's just that the Democratic Party has become so extreme that they were forced to become Republicans. Such a shame that a party with such a big tent that it once housed everyone from The Grand Wizard to The Black Panthers has atrophied so due to the drive for wokeness.

If it was genuinely an old thing then you'd probably see something like Zulu artists taking Boer resistance songs against British domination and proudly turning them into their own songs against white supremacy.

Anyone who doesn't have at least a bit of sympathy toward this message hasn't dealt with a certain generation of white South African. I do try to avoid generalizations, but holy gently caress that is a dire group. The worst example I've encountered told me he came to Canada "because the n*****s beat [him] and took his farm" and now bitches that the Canadian government is a bunch of Nazis who won't let him spread Reformed Christianity to children in his position as a school bus driver.

I'm not saying he deserved to be beaten, but I'm sympathetic toward those who beat him.
