I’m not going to read it."

Your posts are also often quite long, but I take the effort to read & rebut them.
It's one difference between scholarship & mere propaganda.

Your posts are also often quite long, but I take the effort to read & rebut them.

I know you believe that, but after having read so many of your worn groove responses that usually don't address the point to which you are responding, I have mostly given up on seeing anything that I would regard as an objective rebuttal.

It's one difference between scholarship & mere propaganda.

Scholarship is acknowledging the Corwin Amendment, and it's significance to the Northern claim that the war was over slavery.

Objectivity is realizing both can't be true.
