It looks like I have already got “it” whatever “it” is.
Your desperate attempt to limit discussion to only what is inside your suffocating vacuum is too clear to deny. Look no further than your post 29: “Listen smart ass, those are my words . . . Let's stick to the subject at hand.”
It seems you don't want to discuss the fact that of the 13 original states, 13 of them were slave states. And of those 13 slave states, 13 of them voted to enshrine slavery into the United States Constitution where it remained well after the Emancipation Proclamation.
If for any reason you want to keep this a secret - just tell me.
I am fully aware that the northern states gradually decided they wanted to restrict slavery to the cotton states; and that the northern states would probably have attempted to eliminate slavery entirely except for the fact it was not in their economic and political best self interest to do so before 1865.
You can pull the discussion all over the place Reb but it isn’t going to work.
The South choose secession as a means to preserve the economic system of slave labor.
They choose war to achieve this and lost.Did slavery exist in the North?. Yeah. But it was ended long before 1861.
Get over it.
