BroJoeK and I are generally in agreement, opposing secession and slavery.
Myissue is simply that we are preaching to a wider audience and historical accuracy is important.
Also, it is irritating when BroJoeK descends into name calling and insults, no need for that in an adult discussion.
The problem is that somewhere along the way you contradicted northern orthodoxy about something - perhaps Lincoln's decision to fight the war “at pleasure.”
Ooops, I think that phrase may have been copyrighted in recent days.
But you did probably rub some northern fur the wrong way and so words have had to be posted to grind you down.
The fortunate thing for you: you didn't live in the northern states about 157 years ago. If you had expressed your opinions then you would have been locked in a dungeon and kept there without a trial.
Or worse.
By the way, I disagree with some of the things you have written but have not found it necessary to name call. Or even to name call at pleasure.
