Please do not post to me anymore. I have had my fill of your distortions, manipulation of facts, and out right lies about the causes of the civil war. I really believe that if I could send you back in time to the South Carolina secession convention you would actually argue with them that they aren’t really seceding because of slavery.

Your head is so far up your fourth point of contact in regards to the civil war that I don’t even think the jaws of life could pry it out.

I like that jaws of life analogy. L:OL.. Going to use it.

Why do apologists for the traitors refuse to accept slavery as A cause of the war. the issue was foremost in the south since the declaration of independence and the writing of the constitution. An then since the 1820s, they feared more free states would enter given the move to the western territories. Even if you talk economics in the south, it is related to slavery.

people who represent a slave state or country cannot say we aren’t defending slavery. It is self-evident.

a few more new states and there would have been a war then because the vote in congress would have banned what? Slavery. Owning other human beings and not wanting them to be free doesn’t bode well for the rest of the argument.

If you engage in discussion on this subject, I will rebut you. If you do not wish a rebuttal, don't engage.

You have been propagandized your entire life, and so have I, but I recently realized what I was taught was incorrect and misleading, but you haven't yet realized it.

Some people simply do not want their dearly held beliefs tampered with. They would rather believe a reassuring lie than an unpleasant truth.
