We’ve been arguing specifics for dozens of posts now!

In the context of the conversation to which you replied, the "specifics" to which I refer are things like the Corwin Amendment.

People on your side simply cannot wrap your minds around the significance of Lincoln Supporting the Corwin Amendment, and the fact that it passed the Senate.

To a rational man, it demonstrates clearly that slavery was not the issue to which the North objected. We have been told all our lives that the war was over slavery, and yet here is proof positive that slavery was not an issue for the North, and apparently not for the South either, because they didn't jump at this offer from the North.

So when you remove slavery as a bone of contention, what then is left?

These are the "specifics" that your side cannot look at.
