Jeez, you really are something else. “The Second Revolution’’. You're referring of course to The Civil War?

A war started by Southern plutocrats and slave holders bent on maintaining an economic system based on the use of slave labor. A civil war isn't a ''revolution''. That's what Marxists and Democrats call it. The American Revolution was a breaking away from the tyrannical grip of the English monarchy. Abraham Lincoln was the duly elected president of The United States. King George was a British aristocrat granted ''the divine right'' to be a tyrant.

“A war started by Southern plutocrats and slave holders bent on maintaining an economic system based on the use of slave labor.”

That is an interesting comment and prompts me to ask: does a country that allows legal slavery disqualify itself from the right of self-government. Would people who make up such a country be entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

I’m asking you this in the context of 6,000 years of human history. When answering, just use your own words.

And as usual, you simply ignore the fact that the Northern states voted to continue this very thing.

You do this because you don't mind being a hypocrite so long as it allows you to believe what you wish to believe.
