There are plenty of southerners who do not support the KKK and plenty of northerners who are not leftist. Or are you deliberately trying to offend everyone with your rubbish regional stereotypes?

I'm not suggesting that Romans adhered to 19th century racialist notions of a biological threat, but that many of the themes of the Yellow Peril have similarities to Roman beliefs about an imminent Eastern threat to their culture and civilization. This can't fully be squared to politics alone because of Roman fears about emasculation and the alleged effeminacy of the Orient.

Political fears fuel cultural ones. To Romans, effeminacy and emasculation was weakness, submissiveness, frivolity, and so on; aspects they regarded as essential qualities of people who submitted themselves to despotic regimes.

So are you saying that European commentators based their ideas about the far east on ancient Greco-Roman descriptions of Egypt and Persia?

No- I was talking about 1800s south where many white southerners sympathized with the KKK. I didn’t say the yanks were all leftists in 2018- just many are violently anti-south. If you went on a witch hunt for this two groups at their time periods, most Americans would be gone.

Are you implying the KKK are patriots?

No- thats wrong. The civil war was not about blacks or slavery for the most part. It was all political and economic difference. The north wanted to make their money by factories and their industry while the south wanted to make their money by agriculture. The north wanted taxes and workers who would benefit their economy while the south wanted state autonomy to benefit their economy. Big government helped Yankees, small government helped Southerners. The south wanted to leave because of the north’s authoritarianism- but the north didn’t want that. With more resources, the North was bound to win. A quick attack was the only way to make sure the north didn’t have momentum. A war was bound to break out anyway. Lincoln laughed at it and didn’t take it seriously. Then he attacked. The whole war was fought defensively for the south. There was no threat for most the north of houses being burnt and property stolen and people murdered and brutally put down by occupation. The confederates were desperate and they had some good men. When I talk about these men, I mean the men who opposed slavery on a moral basis but were patriots- and knew the north shouldn’t shove around the south and take states rights. The south would have eventually abolished slavery and ended racism- but they didn’t want to after the north made them angry. Moral of the story is big government is always bad.

He did more than enough. The lost cause of the south spread after the war, and more violence against civilians wouldn't have stopped that.

Eh. By General Sherman, I meant "violent, nearly zealous suppression of the South", which should have continued deep into the the Reconstruction by enfranchisement of the Blacks at the expense of the Dixies not to mention, you know, revoking the rebels' state status, reorganization of the reclaimed territory and erasure of antebellum laws that existed only to pander to the Slavering South)
Allowing the South to create the retardation that is the Lost Cause was just an insult to the people who actually fought and won against said "cause".

Oh and to stop this Lost Causer Bullshit (but I repeat myself):
“The new [Confederate] Constitution has put at rest forever all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institutions—African slavery as it exists among us—the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution. ... (Jefferson's) ideas, however, were fundamentally wrong. They rested upon the assumption of the equality of races. This was an error. ... Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery– subordination to the superior race– is his natural and normal condition.”

Grant wasn’t even lucky. He just sent waves of troops to outnumber. It’s like the Soviet unskilled mob trope except actually true.
