The only thing good that came from his actions, was that slaves were freed. But the price to our country was NOT worth it.

Discussions of "The Great Slaver Rebellion of 1861" sure bring out the worst in some people, eh?

No, not really. It doesn't bring out anything that wasn't already there. Believe it or not, I like knowing who I'm dealing with in the purest form.

I don't like illusions, or anything else that passes itself off as being anything other than what it is. If I want an illusion, I'd go to a Vegas show.

I want to see things for what they are, as they are.

So am I to assume you think 600,000 lives was worth it?
