    Downthread a bit the same user says the North shot first. Total disregard for basic historical facts.

          the gallic peoples were also celts but that doesn't make linking the American civil war to Hengist and Horsa less nonsensical

          like that guy who somehow concluded that Stalin and Hitler were both descended from some random country in Europe and that ww2 was therefore just a civil war of thay country

            i mean i would be comparing such a thing to anglo-irish or anglo-scottish oppression in the 16th-18th centuries if i were talking about the civil war---but a anglo-french lil ass has not a goddamn thing to say abt that

        Meanwhile, the first thing Irish immigrants saw when they exited the boats were Union recruitment booths getting them to enlist in the Union army.

        Celts? Is that really this fucker's angle? The British-American South is as Anglo as it gets in America, since it's not like there aren't multiple notoriously Irish populations throughout the major northern cities like Boston and New York.
