#learnyourfacts

To remind you, the purpose of my blog is to spread awareness for mental illnesses and promote stable mental health. I have 1. Researched my facts and 2. The mental illnesses I have blogged about. If I do not have the mental illness, I will still spread awareness about it, but I cannot give an in-depth description for I have not experienced it myself. 

Me: (Walks away due to stupidity overload)

Bet you didn't know half of these existed 😉

The Southern Cross NEVER flew over a nation that supported slavery. It was the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia, not a national flag. The United States flag flew over a nation that supported slavery for 85 years, yet no one is supporting removing it. Historians, real historians, not your 5th grade history teacher, have studied in detail the causes of the Civil War, and it wasn't slavery. It was economics over an insanely rich South and poor Northern cities. The South was removing Slavery, it was a dead issue there due to English cotton contracts offering much higher prices than northern textile mills, and with those higher prices the condition that the cotton be raised without the use of slaves. The North could not have that life blood of cotton going to England, nor could it compete with the prices England was paying for the cotton. Even the Southern Generals, in particular Robert E. Lee, freed all their slaves by 1862, while the North still clung to slavery. Maryland and Delaware were immune to the Emancipation Proclamation as border states, and Delaware did not outlaw slavery until 1872. The Emancipation Proclamation was hated in the North because the cities thought the freed slaves would move north and take all the textile mill jobs. All resources flowed from the South, cotton, iron, timber, etc., and that was making the Southern states rich beyond anything the North could compete with, Lincoln himself stated that he could not allow secession to proceed because "Who would pay for the government?" The history taught in our schools is based on the effort by Congress, Northern Industry and the Executive branch to devastate and punish the South to make sure they never again dared to try to secede and bankrupt the North, just as Sherman's March was designed to do. Southern economics was moving beyond slavery fast, and southerners were used to living in mixed race areas and doing business together. Of course there were extremists, and in the power vacuum left by the War Between the States, those extremists in some cases managed to gain a foothold in a devastated, poverty stricken, post war south, much as the Nazi party did post WWI in Germany.

Please, I beg of you please.... Stop saying that modern feminism is about women hating and thinking they're better than men. Feminism is about the equality of both genders and also about sisterhood, which is women coming together. Really I think the core of feminism for both genders to have freedom to do, say, and feel however they want, it doesn't matter what you identify as you should be able do what you want. Now, I know some women or girls might say they are "feminists" but say that men are pigs and they are disgusting and blah blah blah, but that's not true and they're not real feminists, stop calling them that and saying that modern feminism. I'm not going to sit here and say that all men are good but I'm not going to say they are scumbags, because there are women with similar outlooks to the most misogynist men. But that just my opinion and the facts on this issue and I just had to get this off my chest because some peeps were pissing me off.

of listening to girls talking about the weight they've gained. BITCH, if you're doin in right at the gym, you should be gaining weight! Muscle weighs more than fat.
