"..The Republicans would have had to invent something else.."

Did this quote spew forth from Bombastic Boxer, King for-a-day Kerry, or Hillary The Horrible?

Oh, those mean, inventive Republicans :)

Okay, you don't like "Republicans" in that context......how about "New York business interests"?

Interesting that the Secret Six who backed John Brown's attempt to start a race war were mostly from New England and New York.

Keep playing innocent. On these threads, it won't play. Yeah, the North was just standing around smoking a cigarette, and -- holy hell! A Civil War broke out!

Yeah, right. History for the barroom crowd. Read a book, get smart and stuff.

You don't like my version, okay, let's get someone from your side of the argument to spruce you up a bit.

x, how about it? Can you do something to smarten this guy up a bit? He seems to be having trouble with the causes of the ACW.

Note to M. Espinola: That's how I do ad hominem.

I wouldn't have, but you haven't stopped posting it yourself since I entered this thread.
