I was wondering where you were.
Speaking of strawmen Dit, ya'll can ditch this "we fought for the darkies" myth.
I really like some of ya'll.....I swear I try....lol
I also didn't see anything about "fighting for the 'darkies'. What is it you are referring to?
And you can throw away your 'we fought for States Rights' fiction.
The Federally enforced Fugitive Slave Act (1850) , and the United States Supreme Court's Dred Scott(1857) decision imposed the Southern slave hound's [chattel] property rights on the rest of the nation and its territories. So much for the Sovereign rights of those States who had or wished to abolish slavery, or the Popular Sovereignty of those settlers living in the territories who wished to enter the Union as free states.
Tell me again who the hypocrite is..?
