My #96 was simply a response to your attribution of “bad,” to the seceding States. I realize that there is much wisdom in your other posts.

I never knew that wisdom and delusion were synonymous.

If I implied the Southern states were "bad" it was intended only as a relative perspective from the people who were condemning them.

I don't believe they were bad people, instead I believe they were merely people who had grown up in an environment where they weren't taught that forcing others to work for you is wrong.

Some of them (Washington, Jefferson, Robert E. Lee, etc) were realizing it, and working to change things.
