Winning was all that mattered to the slavers as well. I thank God they didn’t achieve it.
No. Winning is not all that matters. If you have to kill civilians, even some of those you purport to be ‘defending’, then you do not have a legitimate victory, even though you may have a temporal one. It is short sighted to ‘win at all costs’.
I, too, am glad that slavery was abolished, but i fear that much damage was done by Lincoln’s usurpation. That is the gist of my arguments.
Please don’t try to shut me down by throwing epithets such as ‘slaver’. We can have a discourse without invective. The excerpts i have posted contain properly sourced and attributed information. There is nothing fabricated. They do, however contain some editorial, but nowhere have i, nor any of the authors, supported slavery or tyranny.
