I'm not the one still believing the made up propaganda lie the deep state fed the nation 150+ years ago. I've learned the truth. The North was more evil than the South because they killed people to keep control of the economic power, and then they tried to pretend they did it for a moral reason.
The Corwin amendment by itself proves the whole story we've been fed is a lie.
Oh shut up! Bro Joe K cleans your clock and then you come sulking and feet stomping to me.
Naw, the only thing DiogenesLamp learned was a pack of Lost Cause Democrats' lies, and, accepting such lies as "truth", he utterly refuses to learn anything contrary.
DiogenesLamp: "The North was more evil than the South because they killed people to keep control of the economic power, and then they tried to pretend they did it for a moral reason.
The Corwin amendment by itself proves the whole story we've been fed is a lie."
That's total rubbish.
Corwin was a Democrat & RINO effort to keep Union slave States from seceding.
The real truth is the Union under two presidents did nothing to stop secession or the new Confederacy until after Confederates threatened & provoked war, started war, declared war, and waged war in Union States & territories.
Once war began, then abolition became necessary for victory.
And since all Republicans were anti-slavery, emancipating "Contraband of War" was not just necessary, but also moral.
And that's what has DiogenesLamp so very confused & disoriented, enough so to make a gross pack of Lost Cause Democrat lies preferable in his mind.
Here's the real truth: Republicans formed out of the defeated Whigs as specifically the anti-slavery party -- anti-slavery for religious/moral reasons (the Bible forbids slavery for God's people), anti-slavery for philosophical reasons (all men Created equal), anti-slavery for economic reasons (no wage competition with slave-labor) and anti-slavery for social reasons (slavery made white Southerners into arrogant SOBs).
Republican leaders like Abraham Lincoln understood from the time of John Quincy Adams that Civil war would necessarily destroy slavery, but delayed fully taking that step until it became clear there was no other way to victory.
The wrong-doers in this were Southern Democrat Fire Eating slave-masters who declared secession, Confederacy & war against the United States to protect their "peculiar institution", just as radical Democrats today are waging unrelenting war against the United States to protect their peculiar ideas of woke "social justice" and social control over Americans.
