i’d provide you the link to the original source (again), but unfortunately the tutor left the room, so you’re stuck with the obscure clues i left - like the congressman’s name and the time and place of his report.

You didn't provide a link. You cited a book with no page number. Give me a page number and I'll do the rest.

What I did find was Giddings submitting a petition from Pennsylvania quakers, not northern state representatives, praying for a peaceful dissolution of the union in 1850, not 1856.

FAIL!

I didn't say that was in the Disunion book. Giddings petition is congressional record, figure it out. The date is gave was that of a NYT article about it...OOPS! is that another clue for the clueless? I guess we've established that either (a) you won't/can't read books, or (b) any book I'd recommend couldn't possibly refute any of your generalizations.

But I am impressed that if someone gives you a book, a page number and a quote, that you could "do the rest". That's all-star scholarship right there.
