You know very well I claim that the Union fought to stop independence and didn't give a rat's @$$ about the continuation of slavery, but most people think they were fighting to stop the practice.
You can be intellectually honest if you really want to.
Certainly nowhere near the ridiculous number that Baldwin states.
Well, in order to claim it is ridiculous, it would be a good idea for someone to ask him where he got that number. I find it odd that people (Baldwin) think they can throw out "facts" and think that people won't check on them.
But for what it's worth, I think his numbers are ridiculous too.
I don't know about most people, but none of the Union defenders I've seen around here make that claim. Nor have I. Ever.

I try to match my argument to the level of the person I'm debating.

I gave you my theory on where Baldwin got his figures from back in reply 95. But what I truly find surprising from the Confederate side is that you all will read anything that condemns Lincoln and the U.S., no matter how preposterous, and not question any of it. I truly will never understand the Southern mindset.
