The price of liberty has always been high.

You are overlooking the fact that the war was started to suppress Liberty, not achieve it. That it eventually (several years later) had that consequence for a previously subjugated portion of the population is irrelevant to the actual purpose for which it was fought.

It has had the effect of increasing the subjugation of everyone else.

Well, I know that you often remind us of unintended consequences. So, even those of you who feel that the war was begun for the wrong reasons cannot be blind to the beneficent consequences. Slavery is gone and it's gone for good. Nearly everyone is happy with that outcome.

I guess there are people who actually lack the capacity to make moral judgments. At least that's what they claim. But, most people have a sense of right and wrong.

DiogenesLamp: "You are overlooking the fact that the war was started by the Confederacy to suppress Liberty of slaves, not achieve it.
That it eventually (several years later) had that consequence for a previously subjugated portion of the population is irrelevant totally relevant to the actual purpose for which it was fought, namely to preserve, protect and defend slavery."

Pal, I know you're in a hurry, so I just filled in your missing words.
Now your post is 100% true.
