Pelham: "...resurrect Union Bloody Shirt Triumphalism..."

Naw, the only Bloody Shirt waving here comes from our Lost Causer FRiends, who just can't get over their ancestors' utter military defeat and Unconditional Surrender.
For you people, real history is never enough, only extravagant mythology can salve your wounds and still your anguish, so you come on these threads to claim & complain about alleged offenses by "Ape" Lincoln and his Black Republicans against Southerners who never cared about slavery, but did in 1861 wish to prevent the Progressive (1912), New Deal (1932), Great Society (1964) and Obamalamadingdong (2008) eras.

Now that was a real war worth fighting, right?
If Confederates in 1861 could have prevented President Wilson in 1912 and FDR in 1932, that's a worthy Lost Cause, isn't it?

Oh, wait... Southerners voted in block for Southern Democrat Wilson in 1912 and New York Democrat Franklin Roosevelt in 1932... oh, well, never mind.

I’m curious- do you ever reflect on what you write? There is enough projection to make Freud smile from ear to ear.

“In July 1776 there were six Northern, six Southern and one “keystone” state.”

You are going pretty far afield to claim that Pennsylvania was not a Northern state.

I would even contest your statement that Delaware was a Southern state if I didn't happen to know about the famous 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Delaware State Confederate cavalry regiments; and the 14th, 18th, and 23rd Delaware State Confederate infantry regiments; and so forth and so on.
