The North went to war to preserve the Union and won. The South went to war to preserve slavery and lost everything.

“The North went to war to preserve the Union and won. The South went to war to preserve slavery and lost everything.”

jmacusa - You make it sound like the North and the South couldn't even agree about what to fight over.

You make it sound like like the North and the South were two separate countries.

Still, you make a strong case that the North was not fighting for the moral cause of freeing men. The North,you say, was fighting to preserve empire(land, tax base, economic trading partners). You make that pretty clear.

You impute evil intent to your enemies. I'd be surprised if you didn't.

jmacusa - There is great news for your side tonight.

“Georgetown University will rename two buildings named for school presidents who organized the sale of Jesuit-owned slaves to help pay off campus debt in the 1830s, the university�€™s president announced.”

No word yet whether the University will move its campus away from the city named Washington D.C.
