“I’m assuming everyone knows the significance of May 6, 1861 and my guess is that, like jeffersondem, DiogenesLamp won’t touch this one with a ten foot pole.”

I’m guessing right about now you would rather talk about anything other than who was responsible for saying Founding Fathers “yapped like a dog.”

Who cares about May 6th? Lincoln had already started his war. Nothing subsequent to early April matters, because the sailing of that war fleet was the trigger for the war.

Why did Lincoln start the war? Because the South was producing the bulk of European trade, and the influence cartels of New York and Washington DC wanted to keep funneling that money through their own pockets.

jeffersondem: "I’m guessing right about now you would rather talk about anything other than who was responsible for saying Founding Fathers “yapped like a dog.”"

That would be jeffersondem here #457, then reinforced here, here, here and several more, doing your usual job distorting and weaponizing for purposes of changing the subject.
HandyDandy addressed your abuse with a wonderful smackdown, here but it had no effect, you kept right on at it, couldn't let go of it.

Now you need a weapon to change the subject and beat back a question impossible for any Lost Causer to answer: Should Union troops have returned fugitive slaves to their Confederate "masters", before or after May 6, 1861?

So I think HandyDandy's smackdown of jeffersondem is worth revisiting here:

jeffersondem: "I hope that I did not do wrong.“

HandyDandy: "You tell me.
Even after BJK stated: ” . . . I’ll cheerfully grant your claim — if indeed you do so claim — that not all Democrats were/are perfidious to the Constitution all the time.” you kept up your haranguing.
You made a spectacle out of yourself, man.
You took it upon yourself to declare that everything BJK stated about “Democrats” was specifically aimed at James Madison.
Then you incessantly, maniacally, berated him for what he “said about James Madison”.
You even had BJK saying that James Madison was yapping like a dog (which you know is not what BJK actually said).
Only you know if you did not do wrong.
You did represent yourself as a drama queen.
That much I can tell you."

Later HandyDandy (#505) admitted to jeffersondem: "Yes, I realize now that that can be interpreted to mean that “Madison yapped like a dog”.
But only by someone like you. "

Right, those are jeffersondem's words, not mine.
My point was to memorably distinguish (metaphor) between Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, but obviously, in the distorting hands of jeffersondem, the point was not worth the effort to make it.
