That particular cleansing (the blight of human slavery and those who would enslave) started, one might argue, with the emancipation proclamation. You are evidence, however, of a job unfinished.

The EP was a military tactic by Lincoln that attempted to free slaves in a foreign country, freeing NO slaves in his own. Lincoln had no power under US, military or international law to end slavery. The EP freed no one. It was designed to prevent European aid to the Confederacy, and to cause slaves to revolt against their masters as in Haiti. In other words, the men were off fighting, so old Abe wanted slaves to slaughter the remaining old men, innocent women and children left on the homefront.

You are evidence, however, of a job unfinished.

Again, your wishes for the death and slaughter of then Confederates, their wives and families, as well as anyone that happens to disagree with you is fitting for ethnic cleansing?

Idi, is that you? What's that on your armband? Is your right arm raised stiffly in salute? Do you believe in a master race? Why do you desire the death and extermination of those that disagree with you?

Whiskeypapa, are you sure that isn't you?

How's about if I don't let you get away with this. We were not discussing slavery. We were not discussing the perpetuation of slavery. You cannot make this about slavery any more than Lincoln could have. We were discussing subjugation of the sovereign people to a metaphysical legal entity, detectable only by its normative aura.

You did not lament the existance of slavers, you lamented the existance of anyone who doesn't toe the federal line, flat-out said that you desired their extinction, and said that anything that was done to bring it about was justified.
