Smart guy “Both documents say that they are there to NEGOTIATE!”

Idiot “Were they there to negotiate an end to secession?”

Didn't you claim they needed “permission”? How does one gain permission -If party #2 will not NEGOTIATE?

Take your Lincoln, sprinkle some Chase, and shove it!

More words of wisdom from Idabooby.

You keep saying they were there to negotiate. Was Lincoln's position concerning secession on the table for discussion, yes or no?
