Yayiyini imvelaphi yeMpi Yombango YaseMelika?
Context:Izazi-mlando ezikhuluma ngemvelaphi yeMpi Yombango yaseMelika namuhla ziyavuma ukuthi ukulondolozwa kobugqila e-United States kwakuyinjongo eyinhloko yezifundazwe zaseNingizimu eziyi-11 (izifundazwe eziyisikhombisa ngaphambi kokuqala kwempi nezifundazwe ezine ngemuva kokuqala kwayo) ezamemezela ukwehlukana kwazo ne-United States (i-Union) futhi zahlangana zakha i-Confederate States of America (eyaziwa ngokuthi i- "Confederation"). Nokho, nakuba izazi-mlando zekhulu lama-21 zivumelana ngokuthi impikiswano mayelana nobugqila yayibalulekile - yayingeyona nje "imbangela" yempi kodwa "yayiyimbangela" - ziyaphikisana kakhulu ngokuthi yiziphi izici zale mpikiswano (ezingokwemibono, ezomnotho, ezombusazwe, noma ezenhlalo) ezazibaluleke kakhulu, nangezizathu zaseNyakatho zokwenqaba ukuvumela amazwe aseNingizimu ukuba ahlukane. Abasekeli benkolelo-mbono ye-Pseudo-historical Lost Cause baye baphika ukuthi ubugqila buyisimbangela eyinhloko yokuhlukana, umbono oye waphikiswa ubufakazi obukhulu obungokomlando obumelene nawo, ikakhulukazi imibhalo yokuzihlukanisa yamazwe ahlukene.
Izazi-mlando eziningi ziyavuma ukuthi inkinga yobugqila yayiyisizathu esiyinhloko seMpi Yombango YaseMelika. Ingqikithi yezifundazwe eziyishumi nanye zaseningizimu zazifuna ukulondoloza ubugqila futhi ngenxa yalokho zavuma ukuba zihlukane ne - United States. Lezi zifundazwe kamuva zazimemezela njengeZizwe Ezihlangene zaseMelika, ezaziwa nangokuthi i - Confederacy. Futhi izazi-mlando eziningi ziyavuma ukuthi ubugqila babuyimbangela yempi, zinemibono ehlukene ngokuphathelene nokuthi yiziphi izici (ezingokomqondo, ezomnotho, ezombangazwe, noma ezenhlalo) ezazibaluleke kakhulu. Imibono yabo iyahlukahluka futhi ngokuphathelene nezizathu ezibangela ukuba izifundazwe zaseNyakatho zingavumeli izifundazwe zaseNingizimu ukuba zilandele i-Union. Abalandeli bomqondo owaziwa ngokuthi yi-Lost Cause Ideology baye baphika ukuthi ubugqila yayiyimbangela eyinhloko yempi kodwa lo mbono uphikiswe ubufakazi obuningi, kuhlanganise nemibhalo yokuzihlukanisa yezifundazwe zaseNingizimu.
