I read his profile too and he is obsessed with the South and slavery. I would ask him only one question: Who in the North went to war to END slavery? I'll answer for me: NO ONE! So don't give me the "South went to war for slavery crap". It was legal and guaranteed by the Constitution. If the South had only one agenda, slavery, it had many other avenues to pursue. The South went to war to end tyrannical central government which was a violation of the contract between the people and the governed. We should be so brave today.
Good point. He rails on this "hubris" thing in order to obfuscate his lack of an argument. The Emancipation Proclaimation did not free one slave in the Union.... why did he not mention this in his profile? Yeah "Irish Catholic" ... it was all about slavery! LOL!
Just because the North didn't fight the war to end slavery doesn't mean that the south didn't launch their rebellion to protect it.
The South went to war to end tyrannical central government which was a violation of the contract between the people and the governed.
That government wasn't so tyrannical when the southern leadership dominated it. All of a sudden it became an unbearable burden when it looked like it would limit the expansion of slavery. And yet you claim the two are not related.
