Chaos ensues after an attack on the old pro-slavery Democratic party by an ANTIFA-branded provocateur, Walter Masterson. While across the street at the Federal Courthouse, former president Trump is trying to stay out of jail for attempting to steal the 2020 Presidential election. Washington, DC, August 3, 2023. President Trump "...authorized the Federal Government to arrest anyone who vandalizes or destroys any monument, statue or other such Federal property in the U.S. with up to 10 years in prison, per the Veteran's Memorial Preservation Act..." The law only applies to memorials on "public property commemorating the service of any person or persons in the armed forces of the United States." The Veterans' Memorial Preservation and Recognition Act of 2003 (found at 18 U.S. Code § 1369) likely would not apply to memorials erected to mostly democrat party Confederate secessionists. The Democratic Party-backed Confederacy sought to preserve slavery and fought against the Armed Forces of the United States. The northern states sought to preserve the Union and, as an incentive, offered states that joined the Union to continue slavery. However, the war was costly for the North, plagued by heavy losses and growing draft resistance. It was a no-brainer to emancipate those enslaved and enlist them into the Union Forces - at the start of the war, each side had nearly 200,000 soldiers. Emancipation in 1863 brought 200,000 to 250,000 formerly enslaved individuals onto the side of the Union as soldiers or laborers. They brought the Civil War to an end with the defeat of the Confederacy in 1865. It was true that a part of the Republican party - in the beginning, were radical abolitionists who sought to end slavery. Another part of the Republican party was northern manufacturers who profited from southern-grown cotton. Cotton was king, and they took it up north and wove it into textiles, banked it, shipped it, and made huge fortunes. And since cotton could not profitably grow in a northern climate, those vested in cotton manufacturing and ancillary businesses (railroads, insurance, banking, shipbuilding, etc.) sought to preserve the Union and their supply of cheap cotton with it. Once slavery ended, the abolitionist wing of the Republicans gradually faded, while those Republicans with a vested interest in getting manufacturing going again sought to restore cotton production, restoring power to the southern democrats.
