Last paragraph of post #153.
Admitting the failings of the Tyrant of Richmond is a good first step.
You represented a superior knowlege of this incident was supported by the venerable black Republican NY Times and that their eyewitness 'reporter' was more credible than any number of distinguished historians who have since looked into the matter.

The burden is on YOU to prove he wasn't also lieing about Lincoln. Got it?
What, and deny his very nature?
Crackpot States of America will not be.
Yes, because perhaps we wouldn’t be inthis situation we are in today with a communist President.
Or maybe you'd be in worse shape. Considering the precedent that Davis set that's a likely scenario.

Yeah, it's funny how a secession movement that claimed to be based on the defense of property rights pretty much immediately started disregarding those same rights. From the South Carolina state resolution of Dec. 31, 1836: " "Resolved, That this state do cede to the United States, all the right, title and claim of South Carolina to the site of Fort Sumter and the requisite quantity of adjacent territory"
Nah. Wasn't the south that put Obama in there.
You've gotten your revenge with LBJ, Carter, Clinton, and two Bush's.
