That post is not to be found on this thread. So where did you get it? Answer: You saved it from an earlier post which was since deleted. Why? Probable Answer: You knew it was going to be deleted and you choose to save it. Now because I was not able to go back and see my exact wording, you attack me as a liar.

???

The comments that you made and that I referred to are still available. They are contained in posts #174 and #209.

Have you really reduced yourself to such childish tactics?

No son, you've just reached another ridiculous conclusion based on a false premise. That seems to be a common theme here with you.

My subsequent posts (#158 and #250) clearly stated that their are a multitude of causes for the civil war. The Financial aspects being but one of them.

Are you sure? Post #250 wasn't even made by you, although it expresses MY sentiments fairly accurately.

The fact that the post that you saved and then probably asked to have deleted, states a singular cause. That was a simple error on my part, long since corrected.

Wrong. The comments you made (and that I referred to) are still available. There is no conspiracy to delete your posts.

The comments made regarding the financial aspects of the war have been supported, you and others simply cannot accept any source that I point to.

I haven't questioned your comments about the "financial aspects of the war" whatever that means. I have questioned three specific comments you made (see my 273 & 277). So far you haven't supported those comments, nor have you responded credibly to the rebuttal questions posed to you earlier.

If you'd like to withdraw the three comments, then do so. But let's stop this charade about deleted posts ok?

-btw Here is another upthread rebuttal question (from the colonel) that you failed to respond to.

"How did the North exploit all these subsistence farmers any more than they would have exploited the similar farmers in the Midwest? What's the difference between a yeoman in Michigan and one in Georgia?"

I with draw the comment made about the deleted post.

I withdraw nothing regarding the fact that the South was tired of their treatment by the North in particular in regards to financial policy.

I do not withdraw my comments that the financial dealings of the North was a contributing factor regarding the causes for secession.

I did respond to Kangaroo, you missed it. Go back and find it, you seem to have plenty of time on your hands.

I do withdraw from this thread though, as you have become increasingly boring, unyielding, unwilling to look at other possibilities, Insulting in your total mannerism, childish in your frequent attacks and condescending in your general attitude.

I find you to be a person in this forum deserving more of pity, then my time. As you once said: " Now run along"
