Every word is true. I do not know what your particular fantasy is about that era and area or where it comes from but I know how that in general comes about.

It is not my fault that the economic system of the slavers was obsolete and inconsistent with the American spirit, Freedom, and the rest of the modern world. Hell, even Brazil and Russia had gotten rid of it by 1860.

No one should be surprised that the justifications used by the Slavers would only work on the most ignorant or interested parties in the South.

There were NO rights threatened by Lincoln’s election. Historical advance definitely threatened the Slavers though.

Actually, nothing in that post is true, except the evidence of your bias.

Whatever economic system in place at the time was not obsolete, but the real threat to the states remaining in the Union after the secession. That threat was the underpinning of Lincoln’s invasion of the South.

By the way, Brazil ended slavery in 1888. See your error.

And regarding your comments on Lincoln’s election, you should spend more time reading about the Republican party’s platform. The threats were numerous from the uncontrolled Republican party.
