[Mr. Silverback]

1. I believe holding the Union together was a righteous cause.

2. Recall that my term was "the righteousness of the Union cause." Stand Watie was maintaining that the Southerners were just innocent victims raped and pillaged by we blue bellied devils from up North. I used the phrase I did because I was pointing out that his silly crap about Boston schools had nothing to do with whether Massachusetts boys were doing the right thing in 1861.

You and I need to stop talking, because I keep misreading you. just too dumb to keep up, I guess.

[stand watie]

let me ask you a question. it is now the spring of 1861 & YOU are POTUS.

how many MILLION Americans would YOU have willing killed to stop the south from establishing a new country.

lincoln would have , imVho, been willing to kill EVERYONE to "preserve the union" of the UNwilling, as only POWER was important to him.
