It is in fact your own opinion as you demonstrated previously on this thread.
Slavery was abolished in the U.S. by states ratifying the 13th Amendment through their own free will.
So am I to believe you now that you are saying this, or am I to believe what you were saying before?
Which one of your opinions should I believe?
I honestly don't care one way or the other what you believe, but I will point out that my reply was in response to jeffersondem's rather ludicrous suggestion that the whole conflict could have been avoided by amending the Constitution to end slavery.
Which one of your opinions should I believe?
When you take things out of context then it's hard to understand why you believe what you believe.
