Well, the Yankees have been doing it since the WBTS.

And turnabout is fair play I guess. I hope you still feel that way when the worm turns yet again.

On the contrary, your statement has no bearing on what the CSA leadership would have been forced to do, despite their initial plans.

I don't recall them being forced to secede or forced to start their war.

“Then that should cut the Lincoln quotes to zero, since I’d be hard-pressed to think of anything Davis said that was quotable.”

“All we ask is to be let alone.” - Jefferson Davis
Pretty much sums it up, don’t it.

I am not a yankee, unless you consider California to be part of the Union states.

I did not “laud” Sherman’s tactics, I explained that a short brutal war is better than a long “more gentle” war. The direct opposite of your assinine assumption about what I would recoil against as far as our war in Iraq or Afghanistan.

In your dreams. Many slaves were skilled craftsman and their services were for hire.
I just got done reading about renovations at Montpelier. Your revisionsim is a complete failure.

Your revisionsim is nonexistent. Anybody who thinks slavery wasn't doomed, even without the CW, has problems understanding history.

You seem to be missing the point. Try reading for comprehension.

No. I have a brain. I use it to.
Good luck.

Then by all means enlighten us. Having rebelled and left the U.S. over what they saw as a threat to their institution of slavery, what could possibly force them to give it up?

If you had actually read my posts, you would know my answer to that question.

And who is this "us" for whom you presume to speak? Are you schizophrenic? Is there a gecko in your pocket?
