Listen Reb, stop with the bs about The Mexican War and all your other pettifogging here and stick to the issue at hand.

The South went to war to defend slavery and lost.

That's what secession was about so cut the crap.

“Listen Reb, stop with the bs about The Mexican War . . .”

I was quoting from President Grant's Personal Memoirs; a passage which referenced his participation in the Mexican war and the war he led against the South.

I didn't think there would be anything wrong in quoting General Grant.
