The 'Civil War' has always been over-simplified....and over-complicated. This was true while it was being fought, on this very thread, and will be for every argument about it in the future.
It is too easy to loose commen sense when caught up in sincere passions.
please....God bless us all.
I'm new here and someone at the beginning of this thread posted something to the effect of: Let's take off the gloves like we always do on this subject.
Guy was right. This one is a doozy. It's a doozy because it was brother vs brother, cousin vs cousin, American vs American.
I just happen to believe that the powers that made it happen did so from DC, not from a perspective of North vs South. Slavery is an utter abomination. This was just not the way to go about ending it. Lincoln was out of touch with the people.
Again, I want to reiterate. 6 million war dead in today's numbers.
Remember them this Thanksgiving.
