Dionne's an idiot, and that's from someone with strong free soil sympathies (and I've read McPherson's book). This was a complicated conflict with several reasons and several factions.

It was the Republicans vs the RATs...the RATs lost.

Now the South is Republican.

Your first participation in War of Northern Aggression threads? Why now?

NeoYankees here wish to use an article by EJ Dionne on a conservative forum to bolster their race based bigotry against white southerners on Free Republic.

Have at it by all means.

Hi my name is EJ Dionne. I'm a very liberal psuedo Catholic from Boston sent her by Free Republic's culture war liberal Yankee wing (those who remain that homophobic JR did not purge over homosexuality issues) to rid this forum of those evil Southern racist bigots once and for all. Glad to meet all you socially moderate Northern conservatives. You NeoYankees don't seem as bad as I woulda thought. Glad to be of help. You can use my material anytime.

“I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races. There is a physical difference between the two, which, in my judgment, will probably forever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality. I . . . am in favor of the race to which I belong having the superior position.” [p. 11]

“What I would most desire would be the separation of the white and black races.” (Springfield, July 17, 1858)
“. . . I will to the very last stand by the law of this State, which forbids the marrying of white people with negroes.” (Charleston, Illinois, September 18, 1858)
