Nope. You never heard me say any of that. But repeating accurately what others have said has never been your strong suit.

The South and the Confederacy made some bad choices. Taking Abe’s bait at Sumter was one of them. Just goes to show that those who are right do not always win.

Ah, it's "bad choices," now, eh? I suppose next you'll say that they were turning their lives around, much like modern-day late rappers are always doing before their untimely deaths.

Lest we forget, though, their primary "bad choices" were to maintain a slave-based agrarian economy and then choosing to fight to keep and expand the institution of slavery.

Taking Abe’s bait at Sumter was one of them.

Picking a fight against an industrial giant was another of them.

Just goes to show that those who are right do not always win.

You speak of right? You must not remember what the South was fighting about. Yeah, yeah, you have your high-minded lies that you endlessly repeat, but the gentlemen of the South said it themselves: they seceded and fought because they were more interested in keeping their dark-skinned human livestock in bondage.

You neo-confeds are masters of self-delusion. Funny how you keep yapping about freedom and rights, when your ancestors worked so hard to deny freedom and rights to millions.

Your Lost Cause buddies do. You're known by the company you keep.

Naw, you don't blame Sumer on Lincoln at all, do you? </sarcasm>.

Fortunately when it came to the Southern rebellion those in the right did win.
