WHAT IS A NEO-CONFEDERATE ANYWAY?

Alex Jones is a neo-Confederate.

A neo-Confederate believes that the US Civil War was over a tariff.

Not slavery.

Despite all major contemporary documents and major leaders stating that the war was over slavery, neo-Confederates say the war was over a tariff.

Did you know that Alex's ancestors founded the Republic of Texas 1836 out of a revolution in Mexico which had banned slavery? Yep. So Alex's ancestors rebelled and founded Texas. They then worked for and with the Godfather of the Confederacy, Andrew Jackson, who was one of the most powerful slaveholders in The United States. Jackson loved slavery so much that he organised a raid on a fort in Spanish Florida, called Negro Fort, where runaway slaves from Georgia had found sanctuary with Seminoles. The purpose of the raid was to capture the runaways and return them to their 'owners'. Jackson didn't lead the raid but the commanding officer fired a cannonball into the fort which hit the fort's arsenal and blew the fort to pieces killing 300 runaways and seminoles.

And then Alex's ancestors fought in The Confederate Army at the rank of colonel and general in order to preserve slavery.  

Some say neo-Confederates try to hide the true cause of the US Civil War and blame a tariff instead, but I couldn't possibly comment.

But you can see why Alex is a neo-Confederate.
