I've got you on my 'insane bozo #3lunatic' filter, but this is over the top. The US did not wage war with the Barbary pirates over slavery. President Jefferson fought them after the >>>>>> pirates <<<<<< (the pasha of Tripoli) declared war on the US, demanded tribute payments, later held US sailors for $60,000 ransom each.
Fighting against those who would enslave others is what makes this nation unique in the world.
Ludicrous, inane comment #2. Great Britain amd Brazil both fought against and stopped yankee slavers.
I am going to make this point here and now:
I understand I have reacted unkindly and in a manner ill-befitting a Southern Gentleman.
I humbly appologize for my comments that were out of hand, and ask that their valid points be the only ones submitted for consideration to the mind.
In recognition of such, I will retain my former composure as a gentleman, and desist from further out bursts.

We did fight them did we not?
They were enslaving our seamen, were they not?

Brazil?
Britain did attempt to stop slave traders as did the United States.
We even caught a few, but when they were put on trial in the South, they were let go due to resistance by the slave owners.
Lincoln was responsible for the hanging of the one slave trader that was hung.
I am not sure if he was from the North or South.
