I was obviously showing the mindset of those that would perpetuate slavery. Some of them were murderers.
Funny, when 4CJ "showed the mindset" of those who ravaged Georgia by pointing out that "some were rapists" you cried to the heavens. Now you point to events in Kansas to show the mindset of Texans. While we're discussing mindsets look up some info on the Redlegs. Some of them were murderers as well.
Here we go with "it was faked!" again.
I didn't say it was faked. I said that you had not shown us any evidence. How funny that someone obsessed with a state's obligation to prove its acts feels no compulsion to provide any evidence in support of the bilge he spews forth on this thread. Perhaps we've lowered our standards of proof to something akin to, "The story is related on literally dozens of websites."
It doesn't take much of an imagination to comprehend how someone is encouraged not to attend a political event.
Right. From now on, when you post something with no reference or apparent support, I'll just imagine how it occurred per your instruction above.
It's one thing not to participate. It's another to be "encouraged" not to participate.
As I'm sure thousands of New Yorkers could tell you. Hmmm... Let's see... in that example we have a Union general discussing how it would be inappropriate for Mass. militiamen to kill New Yorkers, and an acknowledgement of the deed after the fact. What do we have in Texas? An ambiguous assertion that Unionists were 'discouraged' from participation in a convention who's result had no effect until ratified by a popular vote of the people. No dicussion of artillery rolling through the streets. No discussion of armed troops stationed at the polling places. No admission by any secessionist leaders after the fact.
But then, we have our imaginations to fill all of that in for us, don't we.
How else would one "encourage" someone not to attend a political event of such importance. You're denying the obvious.
Funny, when 4CJ "showed the mindset" of those who ravaged Georgia by pointing out that "some were rapists" you cried to the heavens.
"Cried to the heavens"? You guys have a thing about being overdramatic. I simply asked for proof of thousands of rapes that he claimed, proof he couldn't even come close to coming up with.
Now you point to events in Kansas to show the mindset of Texans.
Not Texans, slavery perpetuators. Good Texans were "encouraged" not to attend this great movement "of the people".
While we're discussing mindsets look up some info on the Redlegs. Some of them were murderers as well.
What comes around goes around.
I didn't say it was faked. I said that you had not shown us any evidence.
It's easy to see how they were "encouraged" not to participate. Deny the obvious.

I'm a person, not a legislature. Now you're just getting silly.
Perhaps we've lowered our standards of proof to something akin to, "The story is related on literally dozens of websites."
There you go with "it was faked!" again. Why is New Yorkers being shot in voting booths easy to believe for you but not thuggery when it's obvious thuggery was the subject. And you're the one that believes New Yorkers were shot in voting booths. That's an extraordinary claim that needs to be backed up. I've said nothing that extraordinary. Anyone can see what is meant by being "encouraged" not to participate in a political event.
Right. From now on, when you post something with no reference or apparent support, I'll just imagine how it occurred per your instruction above.
You've never been stopped before. You ignore Mississippi's Declaration of Secession...you believe that troops would shoot McClellan voters. Wacky.
As I'm sure thousands of New Yorkers could tell you. Hmmm... Let's see... in that example we have a Union general discussing how it would be inappropriate for Mass. militiamen to kill New Yorkers, and an acknowledgement of the deed after the fact.
So how many McClellan voters were shot? And could you link me to these stories where these mass piles of bodies would be? Also could you prove to me that Lincoln got 100% of the vote so we can see what you say is true?
What do we have in Texas? An ambiguous assertion that Unionists were 'discouraged' from participation in a convention who's result had no effect until ratified by a popular vote of the people.
No effect. I can see that you think results justify the means. How can you say there was no effect when what they were doing was voting? You're idea of a good election is to exclude those that may disagree with you?
No dicussion of artillery rolling through the streets. No discussion of armed troops stationed at the polling places. No admission by any secessionist leaders after the fact.
Again, how many McClellan voters were killed in the voting booths? And did Lincoln get 100% of the vote that would prove you are right? Secessionists got near 100%. Proves who was allowed to attend and who wasn't. No wonder Texas' own Governer called it illegal.
But then, we have our imaginations to fill all of that in for us, don't we.
The link says what it says. The results show the same.
