“In other words, you have no quotes from Southerners which say what you claimed at first above.”

You are again moving the goal post.

In your post 244 you did not ask me for a quote from a southerner; only that the supporting quote be pre-war.

Do you reject the supporting quote I provide because you do not believe Abraham Lincoln was born in the South, or because you do not believe him to be a source of high credibility?

jeffersondem: "You are again moving the goal post.
In your post 244 you did not ask me for a quote from a southerner; only that the supporting quote be pre-war."

So let's review that post #244 and see just who "moved the goal post".

jeffersondem quoted from post #238: "Some in the South predicted that, if elected, Lincoln would take up arms to violently overthrow the pro-slavery United States Constitution and to make war on the states. Maybe he did."

BJK post #244: "Can you cite some pre-war quotes which predict what you claim here?"

Notice my challenge references your claim that some in the South predicted Lincoln would take up arms to... etc., etc.
You responded by moving the goal post to a quote from Lincoln himself which said nothing of the sort.

So I repeat, can you support your claim in post #238 with quotes from "some in the South" predicting that "Lincoln would take up arms to violently overthrow the pro-slavery United States Constitution and to make war on the states"?

I must assume the answer is "no" because otherwise you would have done so already, without resorting to the sophistry of moving your own goal post while pretending it was me who moved.

Typical Democrat.
