Just as it was under the United States. No point made there.

But honesty is not a Southron hallmark it seems. You claim your cause was for 'freedom'. Let's be honest, it was for the freedom to continue to enslave others and the freedom to take your institution of slavery to every corner of the country that instigated your rebellion.

But not nearly as amusing as forgetting to compare it to Lincoln’s dictatorship. No point made there.

However an honest comparison of Lincoln's actions and Davis' would show that the true tyrant ruled south of the Potomac and not north. Davis abused his constitution and trampled on freedoms and states rights in ways that Lincoln would never have contemplated.

People with no intellectual honesty reaching conclusions.

And yet you continue to try.

I don’t know why you continue to post things that are, well, pointless.

I could easily ask the same about you.

“Let’s be honest, it was for the freedom to continue to enslave others and the freedom to take your institution of slavery to every corner of the country that instigated your rebellion.”

I’m always honest. Glad to see you want to start. But you are wrong. The South had NO desire to force slavery in ANY state where it did not exist. Your statement is wrong. Period.

“However an honest comparison of Lincoln’s actions and Davis’ would show that the true tyrant ruled south of the Potomac and not north. Davis abused his constitution and trampled on freedoms and states rights in ways that Lincoln would never have contemplated.”

LOL! The ultimate difference being, even if that were true, that the Confederate states could LEAVE Davis any time. Which makes your whole premise wrong, again.

“And yet you continue to try...” to reason with them. And I admit, it is a failing.

“I could easily ask the same about you. “

But I would be asking from a documented background of your failures, while your attempts to discredit me are pathetic Pee Wee Herman come backs.
