[DiogenesLamp]

Again, slaveholders of the South regarded the Corwin Amendment as inadequate because it did not remedy the fugitive slave problem or the risk of slave revolts.

"When the only tool you've got is a hammer, all your problems start to look like nails."

You keep trying to shoehorn "slavery" into every decision made in that era because that suits what you want to believe.

The fact the Southerners didn't take the Corwin deal is because it wasn't the main sticking point, and what they already had was way better. The fact the Northerners offered the Corwin amendment deal is because what they really wanted was the money.

Everybody was talking about slavery in the 1860s. It's you who are trying to "shoehorn" your obsession with the evil Yankees into every discussion.

You claim to be a cynic, but you fall for every stupid line of slaveowner propaganda.
