Nothing about you surprises me, but I'll point out that your original post I responded to was about Lincoln's election results. Your implication that Lincoln's election was somehow illegitimate as a result would mean that you must think Trump's election is the same?
Your gaffe ("That's all that matters") referenced Lincoln's electoral victory while ignoring Lincoln's ensuing gratuitous war that killed over 600,000 people.
No, it ignores your moronic claims that Lincoln was somehow solely responsible for the war and the over 600,000 deaths that the rebellion cause.
“No, it ignores your moronic claims that Lincoln was somehow solely responsible for the war and the over 600,000 deaths that the rebellion cause.”
I don’t remember making the claim that Lincoln was “solely responsible” for the war - maybe I did and forgot about it. But it doesn’t seem reasonable that I would make that exaggeration knowing how careful I am to understate things.
But I will say this: Without Jefferson Davis, the South secedes anyway and peacefully establishes the Confederate States of America.
Without Abraham Lincoln, the North does not invade the South and there would have been no war.
Sure, other bad things would have happened. The North would have lost some tariff revenue. It would have taken longer to end slavery using the peaceful method. Coffin sales would have remained flat. The graft and corruption opportunities of the Grant administration would have been lost.
