Bubba: I'm very curious to see where you can find Charles Francis Adams supporting secession.

Philly: if you ask for 3 names, and i give you around 345 (in a few minutes research), all you have to do is simply disagree with ONE of those names, and that name and ALL the others magically disappear from history!

..or maybe its just your grasp on the subject matter is so tenuous that a single follow up question topples your entire supposition. It wouldn't be the first time an LCer folded under the..pressure..of having to actually support their remarks.

More likely he could be called the “strawman” for all the false narratives, faulty analogies, and flaky conclusions he offers.

thanks, mac, but i already told bubba to ignore the son of the president who said "far better will it be for the people of the disunited States to part in friendship with each other than to be held together by constraint."

I'm not sure how debating what extent of that wisdom passed on to Charles Francis Adams (who pushed for Crittenden) has to do anything discussed here.

Bubba asked me to support my remarks with 3 examples, and I responded ten-fold. If you don't agree with CFA, that's fine, move on to the next example. (Of course, if Bubba can dispute examples he provided himself and conceded make the case, and you both can ignore all the other examples provided, and you both can refuse to do your own research, then it's going to be a long road.)

The case of CFA does not make or break the facts of history, but if that's your "entire supposition" then feel free to declare that history has been written decided in your favor.
