Not true.  The Empire was fighting for human rights, every bit as much as the North was in the Civil War.
That's silly.  The fight was about diamonds.
Not exactly.  The fight was about political and economic rights for non-Boers, who were there for the gold and diamonds.

To quote Lincoln:
"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that."

Yeah, typical of a Confederatardapologist, to quote Lincoln.  From 1862. 
It was a long war.  Opinions changed with it, including his.

The war was still about restoring the union.  Freeing the slaves gained importance but was never subordinated to the primary goal.

And I'm 100% Yankee, so buzz off.

Restoration of the Union ceded to restoration of the Union free of all slavery as the primary goal, and you damned well know that.

Okay, Nat Turner.

Quit using letters to Horace Greeley out of context, gun nut.

It just hurts him to know that a Republican helped Black people.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

No, but it was fun to throw that one in. :P

This thread gone to the shitters fast. Classy, people.

I dunno, man...I mean, yeah, it's a tragedy that so many Axis Minors got the shit end of the stick on the Eastern Front, and it was a horrific experience for many reasons, but for a lot of posters here, they were the bad guys.

IMMAJUSSAYIN

That's the cool thing about being Canadian.  We just might be the only country in the world who has never, ever been on the side of the "bad guys" in a war.   :)

And besides, they usually had black-on-gray counters anyhow.  Bad guys.

Europa gives the Romanians some pretty cool looking white on dark blue counters.  The Finns get blue on white.

The Hungarians, though?  Yep, black on grey.  Oddly, the Royal Marines get the same treatment, just with a different shade of grey.
