Well I dunno - Abe Lincoln had something to say about that.
True, old Abe did, but that certainly doesn’t mean he was correct. Of course, winners write the rules, and 150 years after no one remembers the truth.
They always say hind sight is 20-20...
We use to have many fine arguments around the shop when I was a working man.... I miss it a lot...
After reading the newspapers about all the rotten things going on in our country one of the things we would discuss was "If the civil war was fought today, which side would you fight for?" It was amazing to see the contortions that folks would go through in order to justify their reasoning....
I know in my heart and my mind that NO man should be another mans property.... "IF" that was what the war was all about.. I think slavery would have died on its own in our country simply because, we are a Christian nation and slavery is inherently evil.. That being said.... Knowing what you know now, which side would YOU have fought for..??
Personally, I think Lincoln got it wrong....
MHO......
