“If it makes you feel better I will restate it in a way to make it more palatable to you. There was not one Republican slave owner in the Southern States at the time of the civil war. Feel better?”

I consider the goalpost officially moved, although I don't know how you could prove such a declaration. Are you familiar with the name John Moses Henderson Smyth?

Now, about that goalpost concreted into your post 475 (”Southern slave owners were all Democrats”): yep, you need to move that as well.
