“rend the Union, even by war.”

Odd comment coming from Lincoln — considering he was the one who ordered the invasion of the southern states.

Don't you get it? See what really happened is that all southerners were lazy and did not work. Only blacks worked in the antebellum South and they picked, built and did everything. They laid every brick and dug every ditch. The only excise that whites got was from swinging a whip.

The War was to protect slavery on and and had nothing to to with states rights or independence from the Northern interests. The Southerners fought to keep their slaves even if most didn't own any. The war was about slavery and only slavery. The South should be ashamed and we need to suppress and forget about that nasty War. Anyone that sees this any other way is a racist.

I learned all this from Freepers.
