I was responding to Bubbas claim about the North invading the South. Nice try a triangulating. Point was the South opened the ball. It was their first act of aggression in a war to maintain their slave economy. Secession was about arrogance as well. I’m well aware of Lincolns views.He freed the slaves none the less. Fulminate all you want and spin the history. The South started the war and lost.
One of us is being stupid. Pray tell how starting the war helped maintain their slave economy?
Secession was about arrogance as well.
What was arrogant about seceding? We did it from the British. Was that arrogant?
I’m well aware of Lincolns views.He freed the slaves none the less.
You missed the part about it being a cynical ploy to assist in the war effort? See Secretary of State Seward's comment further up the thread. Lincoln did not free any slaves where he had the power to do so, such as in Maryland.
Fulminate all you want and spin the history.
How is it spinning when I point out things about History which are factually correct? I think much of the history has already been spun, i'm just doing a little un-spinning.
The South started the war and lost.
And Lincoln left us with a Leviathan of Federal supremacy which is now working to restore slavery.
By the way, have you ever heard of the EMS dispatch? Of course it was the French that started that war, not Bismarck.
