Re your post #390: You don’t argue honestly. You put words in others mouths and then argue against your own fictions.
No, I point out the axiomatic consequences of their own statements.
Again, the Union condoned Slavery for the five Union states throughout the war. They didn't invade to abolish slavery, they invaded to abolish independence.
You simply want to keep focusing on the Slavery, instead of the Union's indifference to it until it later became a war tactic, and then even later a political tactic.
How is anyone supposed to interpret this? You didn't care about slavery when the Union was doing it, but you make it a HUGE issue years after the war had been in progress for awhile.
You simply won't get the "We Invaded to Abolish slavery" fiction out of your head. Every point that is presented to you is rebutted with "Slavery bad. Slavery very bad. I don't like Slavery. Slavery bad. Did I mention Slavery Bad? I just want you to know that Slavery bad. "
Yes, we all know "slavery bad", but it isn't the reason the Union sent an army to fight. They sent an army to stop Independence, they did not send it to stop slavery.
