“Your side choose a path of violent secession in order to preserve an economic system based on the use of slave labor.”

That is an interesting comment.

I don’t know if I have asked this before, but if the South fought to preserve constitutional slavery, who fought to overthrow constitutional slavery?

If you believe Lincoln took up arms to overthrow the United States Constitution, just say so. There will certainly be those that agree with you that Lincoln had every right to launch special military operations to impose his economic preferences.

And using the peaceful constitutional amendment process to free the slaves would probably have taken longer.

Lincoln intention was to preserve the Union and free the slaves. Lincoln did not take up arms to over throw the Constitution, what an absurd thing to say.

The South could have simply ended slavery without war.
So cut the petty fogging bullshit Reb.

You’re arguing a negative.
The South fought to not only preserves slavery but to expand it further west and listen, you can argue from now to doomsday and the outcome will always be the same.

THE CONFEDERACY LOST THE WAR IT STARTED! And NOTHING NOTHING will change that.
SO get over it.
