DiogenesLamp: "I imagine God could be claimed to be on whichever side had five times the population and the vast bulk of the Industrial might.
This sort of thing has happened before."

Then you have to ask: how stupid can a people be who provoke, start and declare war on a nation with, in your words: "five times the population and the vast bulk of the Industrial might"

And all for what?
To protect their "peculiar institution" which had never even been threatened in the South?

It's mind-boggling, just and mind-boggling as your endlessly repeated defenses of them.

I think this is the third time that I suggested you read through the thread so that you can read that series of messages posted by PeaRidge pointing out that the Union was on their way to start one regardless of what the Southern states did.

It's mind-boggling, just and mind-boggling as your endlessly repeated defenses of them.

It's mind-boggling that after so many repetitions you still lack the comprehension to grasp the essential point; The Declaration does not stipulate "for every reason except for the continuation of slavery."

Again, when you say "Slavery" I think "Liar is trying to misdirect the subject again."
