There are five known manuscripts of the Gettysburg Address in Lincoln’s hand, which differ in several details. The written documents also differ from contemporary newspaper reprints of the speech. Maybe we should say that didn’t happen either?

While we’re at it, Stephens lived two decades after the speech was first published. Did he ever disavow it, or deny he said those words?

Are we on the same page? I am not denying that Stephens gave the Cornerstone Speech as quoted. Did I flub again? Did you mean the reply to 659, which is post 660?

“Those that use that quote to condemn Stephens have no proof. “:

What proof do you have that Stephens ever existed? Aren’t you relying on newspaper reports? Or do you have his original birth and death certificates (if there are any).

Repealed by the House but did not change the foreign shipper law against multiple domestic ports of call and pickup.

Very good. Now you understand the logical fallacy.

What you presented was a mislabeled Wikipedia document that was apparently altered to change its meaning. You should recheck it.

True, the cabotage laws remained. But you said the law required foreign ships carrying southern exports pay compensation and that requirement was revoked in 1830. The millions of bales of cotton leaving southern ports bound for Europe could go on U.S. ships or foreign ships without the tonnage penalty the U.S. charged before.

Only if foreign ships arrived with empty holes. Some tried ( see cobblestone streets in Charleston) but did not last long.

So, you are not going to “I’ll get right on it” after all. Lose interest?

Bro? I didn’t call you Bro.

What you referred to was a mislabeled post that was apparently altered to change its meaning. Maybe by the Deep State. You should recheck it.

Prove it didn’t happen.

That’s a mislabeled post that was apparently altered to change its meaning. Maybe by the Deep State. Or might have been DimLamp. You should recheck it.

Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?
