Editorials from newspapers of the time.

You're actually serious here? Newspaper editorials taken at face value?

Never mind. You're filling in an agenda with whatever you can find.

You're actually serious here? Newspaper editorials taken at face value?

If you don't think Newspaper editorials reflect the opinions of a significant portion of the readership of that era, then you have an anachronistic view of the time period. Lincoln himself said the Chicago Newspapers virtually caused the whole war themselves.

Never mind. You're filling in an agenda with whatever you can find.

And you are looking for any weak sauce criticism that you can throw because you can't find anything else to rebut my arguments.
