you keep mentioning slaves. how about the ones in the NORTH??? were they better off than the ones enslaved in the SOUTH???? FYI, about the SAME PERCENTAGE (5-6%)of yankees owned slaves as dixie folks.

The North did not go to war to have the right to expand slavery.

The North elected Lincoln and the Republicans to stop the growth of slavery.

Lincoln's name was not even allowed on the ballot box in the South (oh, those freedom loving Southerners!)

actually you are DEAD WRONG on both accusations.

must bew your "gubmint publick screwql edumakashun" again!

fwiw, i think lincoln was GARBAGE in semi-human form, as i've read his private letters. make that: GARBAGE & a STONE RACIST, too.
