It’s best not to reason with Lost Causers and apologists for the Slaveholder’s Rebellion. If you really want to make them mad ask them if they’re mad slavery isn’t still legal.

Reason? There was nothing reasonable about that statement. Or yours for that matter.
Four of my GG-grandfathers fought for the Confederacy- none owned slaves (only about 5% of the southern population owned slaves). Virginia, my native state, voted against secession on April 4, 1861 and did not vote for secession until Lincoln called for troops to invade the South.
The Legacy of Lincoln is still with us. Much of the problems we are now facing with out of Control Federal government began in Ernest under Lincoln. Who made the Federal government supreme over us all? Lincoln.
We haven't ended slavery, we've just changed masters and added more slaves.
Good point, thanks. What I always tell them is that I find it odd that people who claim to be conservatives here are always venerating a bunch of Dixiecrats.
